I never can get straight what side Bannon is on. Guess it's just his own.
Former Trump top political strategist Steve Bannon has reportedly told journalist Michael Wolff that Robert Muellers investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is going to come down hard on President Donald Trumps eldest son.
ADVERTISING
According to an except of Wolffs upcoming book seen by The Guardian, Bannon believes that Muellers team is going to focus on alleged money laundering operations that are conducted at Trump properties around the world and thats bad news for members of the Trump family.
Theyre going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV, Bannon reportedly told Wolff.
Bannon also reportedly mocked Trump Jr. for agreeing to take a meeting with Russian officials at Trump Tower based on promises that they could deliver damaging information on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think its all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately, Bannon said of the meeting. But thats the brain trust that they had.

(1,009 posts)1. It is odd
Attacking jr. is the same as attacking trump. Wonder if he is cooperating with the fbi, or maybe its the booze and drugs.

now that the tax cut has passed and our government's effectiveness has been crippled both at home and abroad.

He is clueless about nuance, being so young, mentally.

But either way, Ivanka will be upset and will require the tender ministrations of daddy dearest.
