Should be in hand cuffs like Bannon.

and Mexico didn't pay....

He resigned after they were caught? Ridiculous.

lacrossemom5 Lock his ass up!

MemeBurk Quite a lot of profit it seems was going on with this claimed 'nonprofit'.

Indict him...

brooklynmarie Too late. At least I hope KS voters think waiting until Bannon is arrested a second time for that scam is too late.

brooklynmarie Too late. 🚔

brooklynmarie It took him until now to resign?

Bannon was indicted on related Federal charges 2 years ago, then pardoned by Trump. Did he consider resigning then? Or did he just assume the Trump Barr DOJ would take care of him too?

brooklynmarie Hey, no rush Kris. ⏱

thegarance Because if you resign, you become invisible to the law.

Omg just now ?

It’s too late baby, now it’s too late….

I guess this would be the right time to resign given the criminal indictments.

The guy trump put in charge of the voting integrity commission, to find all the voter fraud that caused him to lose the popular vote, that quietly disbanded after finding nothing 🤣

A little late...no?

that building the wall idea is really coming back to bite some of them in the ass.maybe they should of got Mexico to pay for it like Trump said

He resigned from the Board of Directors but he's STILL THE ATTORNEY for We Build the Wall. KrisKobach1787 needs to explain his role in setting-up the LLCs that were used to launder money by the 3 who were indicted for money laundering & fraud BEFORE he asks for a single vote!

Only took Bannon getting arrested to finally decide this was no longer a good 'cause' to be associated with as a candidate

Subpoena his ass!

GOP is full of grifters

Say it ain’t so🙄crooked to the core! But her emails

Sure.

Rats jumping ship so republican of him

Kobach hanging around Kansas like Monkeyvirus

handsomely paid I'm sure.

Orderly escape from prosecution

Oops

aka 'looting what remains of the shell.'

How much did he pocket?

Translation: milk every last rube dollar for myself before the fed’s shut it down… KrisKobach1787 is a joke

Testify

Guys, we are being investigated by the feds, I’m just going to resign and pretend this never happened.

Just getting out while the getting’s good and before anyone remembers his involvement.

Kobach is Kansas' Herpes
