1. I doubt he would work with the Russians...

He seems to me to be a complete isolationist and nationalist. It seems to me that the individuals that colluded with the Russians were in it for the money. He isn't in it for the money.

4. Bannon knows the vital role Putin plays in promoting white nationalism.

Bannon is on board with Putin's push to neutralize all political systems in the west. Bannon is also a student of a fellow in Russia, who's name, I believe, is Alexandre Dugin. Dugin is a writer who believes in a world war against the non-white and brown "races", and who believes in white superiority.

Bannon knows that he can be most effective as a background player. I think he's the most dangerous of the Trumpy lot. He's pushed white nationalism/fascism from the background since becoming editor of Breitbart.

I think he was told to keep a lower profile, lower than before. How low can he go?

for being called "President Bannon." But a snake you can't see is more dangerous than one you can see.

...composing more witty & inspirational quotes like:

"birth control makes women unattractive and crazy" or "would you rather your child had feminism or cancer"

I have no idea what Bannon is up to these days, but it can't be anything good. That man is vile.

11. He's there in the shadows running interference.

I don't know to what extent, if any, he had with Russia himself. Everything seems to indicate the Russia heavy stuff was more on the Kusher side of things.

But he definitely knows about where the bodies are buried.
