Does it matter?
But of course Bannon lied. The sun came up in the east this morning.
Just like watching trapped mice eating their youngâŚ
Paul Manafort was unpatriotic and a traitor for attending that meeting but not Don Jr.
âListen, I like Steve.â
Aaaaaand wolff strikes out on his Humanity test.
Wolff loves this. Heâd defend Bannon even if the accusations were untrue, simply because it spins the story across another cycle and sells more books.
Donaldâyouâve found a WH biographer whoâs as unscrupulous as you are. How ya like that, bitch?
Why the attacks on Wolf when Woodward did basically the same type of âreportingâ and is treated as a gold star journalist?
Quite honestly, I donât care if it is true or not. As long as the shitshow that is the administration remains in the public eye, itâs all good.
If âtraitorousâ wanât applied to Don Jr for this particular incident, there are plenty of others that itâs apropos of. The whole gang of thugs are the most heinous thing that has happened to this nation since Reconstruction.
Past record of publication. And, Woodward is no gold standardâpost-Watergate, he became a complete hack.
Bring the noise. I mean: tapes. Recordings exist (thx Wolff, & IC, on the rest of âem).
Of course Bannon is lying, this is after all the guy who runs Breitbart and produces wingnut propaganda films. What is fascinating is how fast Bannon went full Chris Christie and and groveled before Trump. What a âhoe.
Sorry, I donât get anything about this comment. He isnât defending Bannon, heâs refuting him; and that refutation is probably true because it doesnât make any sense that Bannon was only criticizing Manafort. Also, Iâm not going to defend any of Wolffâs behavior, past or present, but in what way was he unscrupulous for this particular story? He asked to interview people, they granted him access and he apparently didnât indicate that anything was off the record. Thatâs one way journalism works. They donât go in and say, âIâd like to write some really negative things about you and the people you work withâ because they probably wouldnât get very far.
Sorry, youâre rightâI mistyped. What I mean is âheâd dispute Bannon, even if the accusations were untrue, simply becauseâŚâ
Wolff is interested in selling books. That Bannon is denying statements which Wolff has on tape helps sell books.
Wolff is very effective on television. Thereâs not one GOPer or member of the MSM who has really taken him on.
This book, Fire and Fury is impossible to put down. All the missing pieces about the Trump administration and his relationships are illuminated. Not trying to sell the book, but wow! I donât get Trump and his world, this book does what no number of 7 minute interviews with Trump flunkies is able to do. Broke-dick for sure.
True dat.
Since it was Junior who set up the meeting via the Brit PR Zelig who promoted the Russian pop star whose daddy is allegedly a $$$ source for the TrampKlan and then Junior later invited Kush and Manafort to the scheduled meeting, itâs hard to paint Manafort as the one and only culprit here.
Rumors over at The Hill is that Mueller has his own Deep Throat who did go to the FBI. I think we are all comfortable that it wasnât Junior or Manafort. Is Kush smarter than we think?

[/quote]Well, Wolff has that thing on his sideâŚyou know, truth - at least the generally observed, spoken, documented, confirmed and understood truth.
Bannonâs comments redirecting to Manafort, a higher ranking individual with stronger Russian ties, makes things worse for Trump. Iâve long believed that Manafort got on the campaign because Putin put him there, and that Manafort likely helped open the spigots of Russian money which helped Trumpâs campaign, the GOP and also to buy off delegates to secure their allegiance. Bannon is pointing to another angle of the #trumprussia conspiracy - the incentive phase. In addition to the general agreement on campaign help for sanctions relief, there is the idea that there are grifters on all sides looking for some juice. In Kushnerâs case, the issue is that he is desperate for financing and the investigation has tagged certain deals of his, including the DB loan in Oct 2016. But Bannon is (perhaps accidentally or not!) hinting at something which has been rumored for a while - that Manafort helped grease the wheels of campaign financing through the Russians and Pro-Putin Ukrainians who have corporate entities in the US that could technically make a legal contribution.
