Steve Bannon Called Russian 'Adoption' Meeting "Treasonous"

Alex Jones is NOT happy with this Bannon vs Cheeto feud!

[FORD]

...and he really loses it here!

He is. But I think there are some there that are only still with Trump because they feel that they are all that stands between him and the abyss...

Kelly is such a person.

Not perhaps in terms of his general philosophy - he has plenty of hard right political views on a variety of subjects I disagree with - but regarding enforcing a sense of discipline within the White House among the staff, so you don't have the Scaramuccis, Bannons and Omarosas running riot.

ANY president (perhaps this applies more to Trump than most other presidents, although Nixon also comes to mind) needs to avail himself of the best minds he can, and not rely too heavily on personal loyalty during the campaign in terms of staffing: your personal loyalists aren't necessarily the ones who are going to tell you things you don't want to hear yet might need to in terms of making well-informed decisions.

I agree on Kelly, and now Trump apparently knows that Kelly is there to 'save the country' and out of duty, and no particular love for Drumpf...

Oh, PLU-EEEEEEZE Alex Jone$ is nothing more than a mutant carnival barker and his theatrics are really getting old.

Scroll all the fuck the way up to the 1:35:23 mark where Dan Friesen hits the nail on the god damn head when it comes to a asswipe like Jone$

Bannon: 2016 Trump Tower meeting was 'treasonous'

(CNN)Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon called the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer purportedly offering damaging information about Hillary Clinton "treasonous," according to a new book obtained by The Guardian.
The book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff, is based on hundreds of interviews, including ones with President Donald Trump and his inner circle. According to the Guardian, Bannon addressed the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and Russian operatives that was arranged when Trump Jr. agreed to meet a "Russian government attorney" after receiving an email offering him "very high level and sensitive information" that would "incriminate" Clinton.

"The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor -- with no lawyers. They didn't have any lawyers," Bannon continued, according to the Guardian. "Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad s***, and I happen to think it's all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately."

Bannon also reportedly told Wolff: "They're going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV."
The White House declined to comment Wednesday about Bannon's reported assertions.
Bannon also reportedly told Wolff that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign's potential ties to Russia is centered on money laundering, saying that the White House is "sitting on a beach trying to stop a Category Five" hurricane.

"You realize where this is going ... This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose (senior prosecutor Andrew) Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy," Bannon reportedly said. "Their path to f***ing Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr., and Jared Kushner ... It's as plain as a hair on your face."
Bannon said he believes Kushner, the White House senior adviser and the President's son-in-law, could be convinced to cooperate if Mueller probes his financial records.
"They're going to go right through that. They're going to roll those two guys up and say play me or trade me," Bannon is reported as saying, apparently referring to Trump Jr. and Kushner.
The Trump Tower meeting has been of intense interest to the congressional Russia investigators as well as Mueller.
Trump Jr. testified before House investigators last month but would not say what he and his father discussed after reports surfaced about the meeting, citing attorney-client privilege.

Haha! It's been fun watching the left self-destruct.

[Terry]

Haha! It's been fun watching the left self-destruct.

Well, the left, at least in terms of elected Democratic congresspeoples, still has as yet to define an agenda other than "we're not Trump."

That may be enough for them to unseat the Republicans in 2018 and 2020, but it also allows the Republicans to control what is defined as success or failure.

Suppose the Russia investigations turn out to be not consequential in terms of removing Trump from office. What will the Democrats do then?

[Nickdfresh]

Haha! It's been fun watching the left self-destruct.

If you mean taking over most of congress and the fact in the next few years the Republicans will become the permanent minority party (because millennials seem to detest them), no matter how fucking retarded the Democratic leadership often is. Then you're in for a hoot...
