Bannon to tell Mueller "Everything he knows" next week

[orangecrush]

WASHINGTON — Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, is scheduled to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators next week as they probe possible obstruction of justice by the president.

That’s according to two people familiar with Bannon’s interview. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about details of the interview.

One of the people says Bannon plans to tell Mueller “everything” he knows.

Bannon is expected to face questions about key events during his time in the White House, including Trump’s firings of former National Security adviser Michael Flynn and former FBI Director James Comey.

1. Like a game of tennis....just last week, Bannon was not going to speak at all

whiplash

[orangecrush]

3. guess something

changed his mind.

Did Mueller show him the menu from Leavenworth?

[tblue37]

24. No--he was not going to answer questions before the Nunes committee. That's

a different kettle of fish.

[NewJeffCT]

2. "Everything he knows"

hopefully it's not a very short interview then.

[orangecrush]

4. Just what I was thinking!

[SonofDonald]

26. Trivial pursuit

Treason edition.

5. Bannon will probably stick to the script maybe?

Hoping for some new big revelation is just wishful thinking imo.

[unblock]

6. and donnie's booked the following tuesday to tell everything he knows. from 10:00am to 10:01am

[milestogo]

16. He will say "no collusion" as many times as he can in one minute.

[thegoose]

7. I thought I saw on CNN

That the "White House" (thugs) want to control the questions being asked of Bannon.

[mr_lebowski]

9. Yeah, good luck with that, assholes ...

I don't even think they have the right to ASK what the questions will be let alone dictate what can/cannot be asked.

If they can, then this whole f'ing investigation is a friggin' charade, and an indication that we absolutely MUST impanel an independent prosecutor for this case.

11. Can Rosenstein just change Mueller's designation??

[Pope George Ringo II]

27. Ah, but if they can't then it's just evidence of a rogue FBI out to get Trump

They're not worried about reality, they're not worried about persuading reasonable people. All they want to do is stir up the base.

[leftynyc]

17. That'll work with the imbeciles in the House committee

Mueller will have none of that BS. And donnie also wants written questions - a take home test - I'm thinking whenever Mueller needs a laugh, he thinks of that.

[malthaussen]

8. That should be a brief interview, then. n/t

[Cha]

10. Last I read yesterday.. he was

refusing to talk.. strange?

[leftynyc]

18. He refused to the House committee

He can't refuse Mueller - he will get subpoenaed and either not show up and get charged with contempt or show up and he can asset his 5th amendment rights.

[Cha]

20. Oh right.. he didn't want

to go before Congress.. like Hillary did for 11 hours straight.

Mahalo, leftynyc

[leftynyc]

21. Maholo, Cha

Always lovely to see you. People shouldn't get their hopes up about bannon. He caters to the same exact crowd donnie does and knows that Michael Wolff's book damaged his rep with them (irreparably? we'll see). If he can figure out a way to fuck over jarad without touching junior, that's what he'll do.

[Cha]

22. As long as at least

one of them gets exposed.. maybe it will help with the Domino Effect.

You, too!

[leftynyc]

23. I've thought for a long time

that ivanka is going to have to choose between her daddy (and her bank account) and the father of her children. My money is on daddy.

[Gothmog]

12. Bannon can sell Jared and Don Jr. down the river

[orangecrush]

13. Revenge

is a dish best served cold.

[leftynyc]

19. I doubt that very much

I'm sure that while that's what he would LOVE to do, he's no moron. He lost a lot of fans in the battle with donnie for the soul of the imbeciles. He's not going to risk losing the rest. He COULD get away with throwing Jarad under the bus with those of his moronic fans who would love to blame everything on the Jewish guy but no way he sells out junior.

[triron]

14. This is why his hearing before the House was delayed.

Mueller did not want to gamble on Nunes being a messenger boy for the WH.

[orangecrush]

15. BINGO!

Good catch!!!

[kentuck]

25. I would bet that Bannon has been on the phone with Trump this week.

conspiring a strategy to save both their asses?
