Trump’s lawyers send cease-and-desist letter to Bannon
Gazette via The Washington Compost ^ | 1/3/2018 | Carol Loennig

Lawyers for President Trump sent a cease-and-desist letter to Trump’s former senior strategist Stephen K. Bannon, arguing he had violated a non-disclosure agreement in speaking about his time on the campaign and in Trump’s most trusted inner circle.

In a letter sent Wednesday night, Trump’s lawyers told Bannon his comments to author Michael Wolff in a soon-to-be-released tell-all book violate Bannon’s employment agreement with Trump in numerous ways and also defame the president.

This assumes that Bannon actually did what Michael Wolff says he did.

Something smells about this. It just seems very strange.

Why should Bannon and Trump be feuding over this?

Very weird.

Head fake to distract from Sessions by e.o. Appointing 17 prosecutors.

Bannon signed a non-disclosure agreement and then violated it.

No such thing as free speech if one signs a NDA. This is not staged, this is how Trump operates. Bannon is going to regret the day he ever met Trump. Trump blasted Bannon today as a leaker. He wouldnt say that if it wasn’t true. He’d have blasted the book as Fake News. Bannon is a turncoat.

Calling Trump’s son a treasonous criminal? Unforgivable.

Looks very bad. Trump is so poorly advised.

I wonder if this guy did any of the leaking to the press?

“Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, Wolff says, he was able to take up “something like a semi-permanent seat on a couch in the West Wing”—an idea encouraged by the president himself. Because no one was in a position to either officially approve or formally deny such access, Wolff became “more a constant interloper than an invited guest.” There were no ground rules placed on his access, and he was required to make no promises about how he would report on what he witnessed.”

I agree... just because the Compost says it, doesn’t make it so.

Bannon is a traitor smearing the president’s family like that. Sickens me. Trump needs to put him in his place.

Bannon was the brains behind the Trump win and that’s why he was named Chief Strategist. Jvanka did him in.

ABC, Fox and other outlets have reported, as well.

Great to know our President is playing hard ball and taking no prisoners!!!

What a disgrace Bannon has proven himself to be, celebrated by the MSM for his betrayal of President Trump.

I just pray he has not opened a Pandora’s Box of new investigative fodder for Mueller so as to protract this wrenching witch hunt.

I have a hunch Bannon sold his soul for a money and a higher profile. May President Trump make sure he pays dearly for all his treachery!!

Yeah, but...

I’m not ready to believe it yet. Bannon seems on the right side of things. I’ll let the fact play out before leaping to any conclusions.

Would suck, though...

Can’t read the article - they insist on a questionnaire to unblur it. Sigh.

Bannon is seeming a bit stupid here. Coming off a spectacular loss. When you enter a pissing contest with the President, you’d better be sure you brought the best equipment.
