Here's Why Steve Bannon's Arrest Was POLITICAL: His Arrest was NOT made by the FBI When I say Bannon's arrest is political, I don't mean he didn't commit the crimes he's accused of.  What I mean is the DOJ office leading the investigation and arresting officers are a big tell.    Here's what's key: SDNY First let's examine the office of the SDNY.  It has a notorious political history.  Prior to Trump, it was led by US District Attorney Preet Bharara.  Preet is the same guy who failed to prosecute ANY of the fraud crimes related to the banking collapse in 2008-2009.  The largest fraud in American history and No One was fully prosecuted.  Nada.  And Preet clearly had jurisdiction over Wall Street.  Don't kid yourself, the $$$$ Trillions in fraud should have been prosecuted -- and the lame excuse of we could further harm Wall Street is just BS.    Consider that the last banking fraud, the S&L crisis from the late 1980s resulted in over 4,000 prosecutions for bankers. The S&L fraud was a drop in the ocean compared to 2008.  Many went to prison.  And that was during the George Bush administration.  That's right, Bush actually jailed bankers.   Obama did NOTHING.  And to distract us from ever calling Hussein out on this malfeasance, we suddenly experienced major events that dominated the news, including: the Orlando Massacre, the Riverside Massacre, Benghazi, Super Storm Sandy, Sandy Hook, and 'Hands Up Don't Shoot'  Black Lives Matter.  A magician's trick if you will:  Look Here, Not There. If you think the SDNY has been cleaned up since Preet Bharara left, think again.  Who still works there?  James Comey's daughter. And although the SDNY could legitimately claim jurisdiction in prosecuting this case because some New Yorkers were defrauded in the Build-The-Wall scheme, it seems a more appropriate place for prosecution would be in Florida or in the state where Bannon incorporated the related firm accused of laundering the funds. Preet Bharara's New Career After doing the damage and not prosecuting Wall Street, Preet now has a comfy position at MSDNC and a podcast where he launches regular attacks against Trump. US Postal Inspectors The Postal Service does indeed have the ability to investigate and arrest those involved in mail fraud.  And presumably there were some transactions associated with this scheme that were transacted by mail.  But we all know that the majority of the transactions were electronic, which is the jurisdiction of the FBI. So why was the US Postal Service Inspector used to make this arrest (on a Yacht no less)?  My hypothesis is that the SDNY wanted to keep this arrest quiet -- and away from Bill Barr's FBI.   By doing so, they have now given the Mockingbird Media the ability to write stories saying Bill Barr's FBI could not be trusted to investigate and arrest the accused because of Bannon's past relationship with Trump. So now the MSM writes 'Orange Man Bad'.  'He Hires Only the Best People.', Blah, Blah, Blah.   So now the SDNY has a scalp, one that allegedly involved $350 K w/Bannon.  Meanwhile the Wall Street crooks who took Trillions out of the economy continue to skate.
