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.

Bannon made the info avsilable.
Read the Slate article on this guy
Kitty Kelly wrote lots of books too
Bannon is featuring Wolfe’s quotes on Breitbart. Some enjoy Bannon’s red meat tossed out for the Left. I could do without it.
Since most of the response was to call the book tabloids trash....
Plus consider that Bannon wasn’t around when this guy was busy doing interviews
Until I hear Bannon say or write that he said such silly things I won’t bite.
You do know what constitutes treason don’t you? It sure as heck ain’t a meeting at Trump Tower
So many people are cashing in on the leftists hatred of Donald Trump.
I believe he is literally- ; ) making it up as he goes along.
I poked around the internet for a bit and he hasn’t been that successful and has been accused of fabricating quotes before.
He is cashing in on the let’s hate Donald Trump fever that has taken hold of the leftists.
Just a other typical public figure, journalist or whatever he’s posing as nowadays.

Sorry, your comment does not compute...Ironically interesting that Slate was criticizing Wolff for attacking some of their liberals...Was he wrong? Were they wrong? It is Slate after all...and he was attacking liberals?
As I stated before, I don’t know how much of what Wolff stated was factual or in context. However, he is not an unknown author, and I still want to know how he had so much access.
From the start on this thread, you appear to be defending Bannon and attacking the book author...well several hours later at the end of the day where is Bannon denial? I have not seen it yet, and I have been looking. So who is lying? Bannon? Wolff? or likely both...
Kitty Kelley? Is she a “bad gal?”...She did a lot of autobiographies...even one on Oprah...So what? Not sure how often she was sued, but does not mean what she said was not true.
Why am I going to the mat on this? Because I am trying to not let bias influence my quest for the facts.
I’m not advocating for Bannon. I thought he was someone who should not have been elevated to the position he held. I think by now, as the news cycle has ferreted out more on this subject, that you have come around to the likelihood that Bannon did say these things. Besides having the ring of truth, he has not denied that he said these remarks. He’s not claimed he was misquoted. POTUS has fired back at Bannon, clearly indicating that he believes these are accurate quotes of Bannon’s.
The Slate article slammed Wolff’s reporting and credibility.
I am not defending Bannon...nor am I condemning him because I don’t believe the so called quotation. Bannon is not stupid enough to call something treasonous that is not treasonous.
This has all the earmarks of either a Bush fed set up or a Clinton effort to get the spotlight off of them.
Kitty Kelly was a hack. The fact that you don’t know that says you paid no attention when she trashed Nancy Reagan.
Why do you want this guy’s tabloid book to e true?
i do not believe that Bannon is stupid enough to make a comment about treasonous actions that are clearly not
By the way, Trump's lawyers appear to believe Bannon said what he's quoted as having said.

Yeah they’ve issued a cease and desist letter
As far as I know Bannon has not said anything .....
For something that is fake, it’s interesting that Trump’s attorney has issued Bannon a cease and desist.
The billionaire that Wolff quoted as saying that Trump was “stupid” quickly came out and declared he never said it and never thought it.
Others are testifying to the author’s lies.
Someone wants to sell lots of books.
He claim to have recordings. Why would Trump issue a cease and desist if their is nothing to cease and desist? Why would trump say Bannon had lost his mind if he didn’t believe Bannon said it? Why would press secretary say Trump was peeved if there was nothing to be peeved about.
