Just when I thought Steve Bannon couldn't be any dumber, he goes and does something like this.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has spoken with people in the West Wing and in Congress about a new plan to knock the Russia investigation off the rails, according to a new report.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday night Bannon has a proposal he is presenting to people in President Donald Trump's circle. The plan is designed to protect Trump as the Department of Justice probe into Russia collusion continues.
The multi-pronged approach, according to the Post, includes firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, instructing the White House to stop cooperating with FBI special counsel Robert Mueller, and asking Trump to cite executive privilege both forward and backward, which would make interviews Mueller's team has conducted with White House staffers inadmissible to the investigation.
"The president wasn't fully briefed by his lawyers on the implications" of not invoking executive privilege, Bannon told the Post. "It was a strategic mistake to turn over everything without due process, and executive privilege should be exerted immediately and retroactively."
Bannon also suggested Trump should fire Ty Cobb, a member of the White House legal team working on the Russia matter.
Rosenstein is supervising Mueller's Russia investigation, which began last spring over allegations Trump's campaign colluded with Russia. Rosenstein signed off on the search warrant that led to Monday's raids at two offices, an apartment, and a hotel room tied to Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
Trump has indicated he might fire Mueller, which according to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is not allowed under the Code of Federal Regulations. Other reports say Trump may fire Rosenstein, which would be legal.
Bannon has yet to bring his ideas to Trump himself, according to the Post, instead having conversations with others over the phone and in person.

“”The president wasn’t fully briefed by his lawyers on the implications” of not invoking executive privilege, Bannon told the Post. “It was a strategic mistake to turn over everything without due process, and executive privilege should be exerted immediately and retroactively.” “
No sh!t. Stone was right—Trump’s lawyers slowed walked Trump to the gallows. Farking idiots.
Bannon is truly one of the great figures of our time . Now we have hystrical ivanka screaming about “” gassed “ cheeeldren with no clue and we have walrus face, the neocon war monger from living hell.
Rosenstein is a Deep State double agent.
Rosenstein’s wife is proven Deep State.
Can someone explain why Mueller being fired is supposedly illegal?
Immediately end the employment of everyone who is responsible for the witch hunt in the manner that will successfully result in the witch hunt ending before May.
Why in God’s good name is Bannon talking to the Bezos Post?
“...includes firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, instructing the White House to stop cooperating with FBI special counsel Robert Mueller.”
I just heard that from DiGenova on Hannity’s show. He said that Sessions should FIRE rosenstein tomorrow. DiGenova finally tore into Goober Magoo—Said his recusal was a disgrace. About time.
Why can’t Bannon see that Mueller is begging to be fired through his actions. He has nothing, if he or anyone else did then it would have already been leaked. Everything else about Trump , his administration and his campaign has already been leaked out, so why hasn’t the most important that would rock him? Because they don’t have anything. Mueller wants to try to create made up Constitutional crisis to throw off Trump
According to whom?
There’s nothing illegal about Trump firing any underling he wants. The DOJ is not some un-elected entity separate from the executive branch, some extra-constitutional ‘check’ on the President of the United States.
The DOJ is conducting a coup. Period. They need to be rounded up by the U.S. Marines and sent to gitmo—to await treason trials and hangings.
RosenWeasel may he a triple agent, but definately not a double agent.
Fire Rosenslime - fire Sessions - ignore Obersturmbannfuhrer Mueller.
Then go to war with the Deep State/Media/’Rat cabal.
Get it done and get it done now, Mr. President. The cabal is coming after you and they mean to destroy you by any means necessary.
Ah jeez, not this idiot canard again
It's not if but when Mueller will present a list of 'crimes' to congress giving them A LEGAL FIG LEAF TO IMPEACH TRUMP
Fire his ass yesterday! This is not that hard people.

“Get it done and get it done now, Mr. President. The cabal is coming after you and they mean to destroy you by any means necessary.”
I agree. If it doesn’t get done, America is finished.
The supposed Bannon proposal doesn't say that Trump should fire Mueller. He's saying that Rosenstein should be fired.
