Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon has described the Trump Tower meeting between the president’s son and a group of Russians during the 2016 election campaign as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic”, according to an explosive new book seen by the Guardian.
Trump-Russia investigation: the key questions answered Read more Bannon, speaking to author Michael Wolff, warned that the investigation into alleged collusion with the Kremlin will focus on money laundering and predicted: “They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV.”
Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, reportedly based on more than 200 interviews with the president, his inner circle and players in and around the administration, is one of the most eagerly awaited political books of the year. In it, Wolff lifts the lid on a White House lurching from crisis to crisis amid internecine warfare, with even some of Trump’s closest allies expressing contempt for him.

Sounds like you believe what Michael Wolfe says.
I adore Bannon, he’s a real soldier in the revolution. However, he does hate Jared and resented Don Jr. running policy with no political experience so maybe he said something at least similar that could b e taken out of context and made to look like he just turned on POTUS. Below is an article talks about Wolf’s work.

The book is Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff.
Wolff is known for writing the biography of Rupert Murdoch who gave him broad access. In the end, Murdoch was not happy with Wolff’s interpretations in the book: “I have just read four or five chapters of your book,” Mr. Murdoch wrote. “It contains some extremely damaging misstatements of fact which I will be happy to point out to you if we could meet. Otherwise I will have no option other than to speak to Random House.” Nothing seemed to come of it.
‘Good thing Bannon’s not bitter because he was thrown out after helping Trump get elected.’
Bannon is influential enough to help elect Trump nationally, but not influential enough to help get a Republican elected in one of the reddest states in the country?
Look where this is coming from.
It's NOT on Breitbart, I don't believe it.
Anyone else surprised former Trump administration officials are churning books out faster than former Obama officials?
Sounds like you believe what Michael Wolfe says.
............................
I just saw that Breitbart has posted an article with the same content...if not true, why would they post it?
This seems to affirm that Bannon does agree with the book.
Hope I am wrong
It IS on Breitbart.
‘I see no evidence of Bannon turning on him. The book is more Leftist BS cooked up crap.’
Bannon’s swift denunciation of this quote will prove you right.
Except that I don’t believe Bannon will deny it at all. That’s not been his pattern.
Sounds to me like Bannon believes what Wolfe says. Breitbart posted the treason story with no denial in sight.
Oops.
All good points. The slander of Cruz and misstatements of his positions pizzed me off almost enough to keep me from voting when Trump was nominated, if it were not for the need to place a conservative or two on the Supreme Court. The birtherism and the odd stroking of Putin and the Russians was a turnoff too, don’t know who was responsible for that, but I suspect the birtherism was from the nutball Roger Stone.
Of course Bannon makes a pretty good point about how foolish it was for them to have that meeting with the Russians, especially without lawyers present. He may be a douche but that may be why he’s able to spot a trap set by leftwing douches and they weren’t.
See ya, Steve.
upsetting indeed...
Correction: It is on Breitbart but I still don’t believe it.
LOL
I don’t believe it.
Second time this crap was posted. It is a book not by Bannon but that tries to say that Bannon sat with the author and said these things. I call BS
No. This is a book by a no one trying to make sales
Snake in the grass...He wanted to be known as the person who controls the President...
Now he will have to try to help the enemy to keep himself from looking like an imbecile...If he hasn’t been all along...
Another Trump mis-step. He got in bed with a dog with fleas and now he too is infested.
