Donald Trumps former chief strategist Steve Bannon has described the Trump Tower meeting between the presidents 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.
Bannon, speaking to author Michael Wolff, warned that the investigation into alleged collusion with the Kremlin will focus on money laundering and predicted: Theyre 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 Trumps closest allies expressing contempt for him.

And the DNC paying for the Trump dossier by a foreign agent isnt treason? And then Obama's FBI using the fake document to get FISA warrants to spy on the Trump election team. And Hillary and Bill selling the rights to a good chunk of American uranium reserves to the Russians for a fat donation to the Clinton Foundation.

"Its a fake."Here is my take on this... Remember what President Trump said next Monday is?
That is right, a big prize / trophy for the biggest fake news story / outlet.
OMG if that is true and this story shows up, and who runs with it the best, can you imagine the various awards handed out?
Can you say they will all be fake news when they get punked so bad the whole world laughs at them all?
Brilliant, absolutely Brilliant!

Fox News: "Trump slams Bannon after criticism, says ex-chief strategist 'lost his mind'"
President Trump's statement on Steve Bannon:
Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.
Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn't represent my basehe's only in it for himself.
Steve pretends to be at war with the media,which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was. It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books.
We have many great Republican members of Congress and candidates who are very supportive of the Make America Great Again agenda. Like me, they love the United States of America and are helping to finally take our country back and build it up, rather than simply seeking to burn it all down.

I hope our President didn’t just get drawn offside.
To: Disestablishmentarian
You would hope President Trump would have made contact with Bannon to verify the story before slamming him.
