I don't follow Bannon closely but he always impressed me when he talks about the fight we are facing and the one we are in. He's a former Naval Officer and it appears he has good cred. Anyway I'm not prepared to jump in and yell 'guilty'. Makes no sense to me but then the stupidity of people never ceases to amaze.
I think back though and remember: Dinesh D'Souza, Roger Stone, Paul Manfort, et al and think, how convenient that all were 'arrested' for what seems to be trumped up charges (no pun intended). I guess time will tell on this but at this point, I don't believe squat.
Your instincts on this are excellent. ALWAYS question the timing of Demonrats’ actions.
