Mueller and Weissmann plotting a process crime.
I had a feeling something would leak from Mueller this week since the Fisa and unmasking stuff is gaining traction..
Mueller trying to silence Bannon from giving info to a Congressional Committee.
As long as he uses “magic” words/phrases such as “to the best of my recollection”, “I don’t recall”, “if my memory is correct”, “I’m gong to have to check my records”, etc., he’ll be OK.
Mueller would love to trick Bannon into a faulty memory “perjury trap”.
If Mueller’s investigation really had any merit, Bannon would have been issued a subpoena the day after he left the White House.
But of course. They had nothing. Then Steve spoke. Be prepa red for this to dominate the news cycle for at least 2 weeks, to the exclusion of real news...
Particularly ironic because Steve told me in August that he was the “one person” in the administration who had no contacts at all with the Russkies and was safe from being called.
that dude is untrustworthy. I think there is a genuine risk of bannon turning on trump — either to save his own skin, or just for the hell of it.
we’ve seen it before.
I do not recall.
Repeat.
Fake FBI investigators keep a
WRITTEN record and compare your VERBAL record
which always mismatch.
The crime is fake IMPERFECTION.
Since Bannon was considered both a maverick and a one-time Trump insider, why did it take nine or ten months for this to happen?
I’m surprised he hasn’t been subpoenaed already, considering all the blabbing and making up stuff he did while he was in the White House.
I have no idea why Trump is allowing this endless “investigation” to continue.
After a year, he should have demanded they either show some evidence of meaningful tampering with the election, or disbanded them.
“according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.”
It’s hard to dispute this with a such credible source.
On ABC “News”: Meghan McCain says everyone is waiting for Bannon to turn on Trump at this hearing and “expose” Trump campaign ties to the Russians.
Also, more BS about “Trump is a racist.”
No mention of the FBI/Clinton scandals. Zip. Zero. Nada.
Anonymous source. Grain of salt.
Mueller had no interest in Bannon until the “salacious and unverified” Wolfe book comes out, and Bannon is alleged to have said that Don Jr.’s behavior at the Trump Tower meeting was “treasonous,” and further embellished with unspecified remarks about “money laundering” by Trump's businesses.
Mueller just wants to see if Bannon knows something.
What makes this an act of desperation is that if Mueller had turned up something he would have wanted to talk to Bannon months ago. If you need the Wolfe book to provide your investigative leads, you're close to batting zero.
Yep it’s almost over ,they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel
