 Trump Tower meeting with Russians 'treasonous', Bannon says in explosive book

    Former White House strategist quoted in Fire and Fury, by Michael Wolff
    Bannon: ‘They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV

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.


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.

(CNN)Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon called the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer purportedly offering damaging information about Hillary Clinton "treasonous," according to a new book obtained by The Guardian.

The book, "Fire and Fury" by Michael Wolff, is based on hundreds of interviews, including ones with President Donald Trump and his inner circle. According to the Guardian, Bannon told Wolff that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign's potential ties to Russia is centered on money laundering.

Referring to the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner, and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, Bannon reportedly told Wolff: "They're going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV."

Otis Campbell is at it again.

That's not the expression, malaprop-boy.  Besides, there's a lot of other things going on with Steve's face where a single hair gets completely lost.

The press has dismissed everything Bannon has said up to now.  I wonder if they will do the same for this?

Bannon is te same degenerate he's always been. I just find it amusing that he's going to turn and bite the tiny orange fingers that held his leash.

Its also funny watching Trump fans on twitter trying to paint Bannon as a nobody campaign volunteer.

Good article; thanks.

Here's what Breitbart has to say so far:  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/03/book-steve-bannon-calls-kushner-manafort-don-jr-trump-tower-meeting-russians-treasonous/

Looks like they just quote the Guardian story. Couldn’t bring myself to read the comments on Breitbart. That site is infested with anti-semitic alt-right types these days.

Bannon is just trying to stir things up and remain relevant.  He’s done wonders with the site.  Breitbart is now to journalism what gang tagging is to art.

Assuming he does.  I think Bannon is as FOS as we thought he was during the campaign.

Well no one...including Trump was referring his status as the "man behind the man" during the election.  He was being touted at the man who made Trump President.

Once he was out the door those same people threw ol Steve under the bus.
