IS THIS NATION'S WHITE SUPREMACIST BROMANCE OVER?


"The author of a new book that's loaded with explosive anecdotes of a disorganized and chaotic White House is backed up by "dozens of hours" of audio recordings of senior staff, according to a report.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, whose quotes triggered a firestorm at the White House on Wednesday, and former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh are among the top officials author and journalist Michael Wolff recorded for new book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, according to Axios. 
The book chronicles the first year of the Donald Trump presidency. It sent the White House scrambling on Wednesday after excerpts were published in New Yorkmagazine and The Guardian...
Bannon called Trump’s daughter and senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump “dumb as a brick.” "

 Bannon called the meetings between Trump Jr, Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort and that infamous Russian lawyer while on the campaign trail, "treasonous" Bannon said, they should have called the FBI immediately.  Bannon also reportedly indicated that there was no way that Trump himself didn't know.

I was hoping this meant Trump and Bannon would be at one another's throats. But this may simply be a slip up by Bannon, allowing himself to be recorded while being interviewed.
Maybe he was angry when he got fired. I've never thought he was that bright. He has the ability to get his fellow white supremacist hate mongers to rally around him with simple minded soundbites. 
 Bannon was kissing Trump's behind by the time this particular news cycle was over. Bannon put out a statement saying he still supported the president. 

Trump, of course, put out a statement cutting Bannon down, saying he'd lost his mind when he lost his job. Then Trump followed up by having his lawyers issue a cease and desist to Bannon, to stop him talking.

The book FIRE AND FURY is not officially due out until next week. Ironically, the title of the book is based on Trump's first and worst verbal threat aimed at Kim Jong Un.

In the meantime, The White House via Sarah Huckabee Sanders have proven themselves to be the biggest, loudest, and largest liars on the planet. Over the last 24 hours they've been trying to pretend CHIEF  POLITICAL STRATEGIST STEVE BANNON wasn't a major part of the campaign, Trump's win, and Trump's White House.

It's absolutely amazing the lies Sarah Huckabee Sanders can tell without blinking. Amazing.


Nothing said here is new. It's just that Bannon saying it, sort of makes it a confession. He was inside. He was part of them. And he knew that that meeting was "treasonous."

I'm wondering if Mueller can make anything of this, especially if the reporter has some things recorded.
