MORE LEAKED AUDIO: Bannon praised "editorial creativity" of smearing Hunter Biden with phony sex crimes before the 2020 election.

More leaked audio: Bannon bragged that he used porn to help smear Hunter Biden
He said he pushed the material as part of a plan for Trump to declare election victory no matter what.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/07/bannon-leaked-audio-porn-hunter-biden-laptop-guo/

Steve Bannon’s machinations around the 2020 presidential race were, at least according to his own words, sleazier and more cynical than even some of his harshest critics might have guessed. In leaked audio previously revealed by Mother Jones, the former Trump White House strategist said shortly before the 2020 election that Trump intended to declare victory on election night even if he was losing—part of a preexisting plan, Bannon made clear, to falsely assert that any Trump defeat was due to fraud.

But that wasn’t all. Bannon also boasted on the recording about his efforts to help position Trump for his big election-fraud lie. Aiming to hurt Joe Biden’s chances and at least narrow the election results, Bannon ensured that sexually explicit material from Hunter Biden’s laptop was widely publicized. For that, he enlisted help from his patron, exiled Chinese mogul Guo Wengui. Bannon also expressed approval of lies by Guo and his associates about what that material actually showed, referring to their false accusations that Hunter Biden committed salacious crimes as “editorial creativity.”

The audio comes from an October 31, 2020, meeting between Bannon and supporters of Guo, who controls pro-Trump, Chinese-language media sites and nonprofits that spread various forms of far-right disinformation.

“We got you all this stuff and you started dumping it out and the internet started picking it up,” Bannon said to people at the gathering, some of whom can be heard laughing during parts of the discussion. “The hard drive from hell stopped [Biden’s] momentum and drove up his negatives,” he said at another point.

But that isn’t a crime.

So he used that fact to stretch the truth and insinuate Hunter was also involved in “salacious crimes” surrounding the porn. With the rumours of Democrats involved with pedophelia, child trafficking etc also floating around . Which I’m sure he’s also helped promote before this

he wasn't wearing anything but you couldn't see anything. Also he looks stoned.

So I guess people are saying the photos were faked and it is not really him.

One time I looked myself up on Google photos and saw one of me sitting in bed with my housecoat on. I never uploaded that picture. One could say it was a little, "cheesecake" just by the way I am looking at the camera. I have no idea how it got up there. I can't remember what I did to get it off either but somehow I did.

8. Smear campaigns work just ask Ann Richards if she was still amongst us

Whispers about Ann Richards. In 1994, when Bush ran against Democratic Gov. Ann Richards in Texas, a whisper campaign began in East Texas that Richards had appointed gays and lesbians to state positions, which was true. The issue got little notice until Bush's East Texas campaign chairman accused the governor of naming "avowed and activist homosexuals" to high offices. (taken from here). These whisper campaigns are linked to Karl Rove, who worked for Bush and who had even been fired by Republican State Victory Committee for his dirty campaign tricks.

IT WORKED and Texas has suffered dearly for it.

The place was trashed and there's a great shot of him sitting in a leather chair looking wasted. I'm in favor of sedition/ conspiracy charges and if he becomes a political prisoner/ poster child, so be it. He needs to be locked up.

“But…but…but…it has a Beau Biden Foundation sticker on it!”

For fuck’s sake people, I don’t even know what the Beau Biden Foundation IS but with my trusty color laser printer and box of Avery labels I could cover my laptop in Beau Biden Foundation stickers in no time at all.

You don’t possibly think the Trump campaign could buy a laptop at a pawn shop, load it up with pictures they either made or downloaded, and have The Smoking Gun That Proves Joe Biden Isn’t Fit For Office?

If it WASNT we would have heard about it LONG ago. Probably from the President himself. It would squash everything. But all this shit the Right SAYS is on it either ISNT on it or its been added y others. Like the porn clips of Biden.

I sure hope they do that to Bannon, who completely deserves to be silenced.

Because accusations of watching child porn are damaging to absolutely anyone's reputation. And now they're on tape admitting it was lies and done with malice.
