Bannon: Trump Tower meeting with Russians treasonous

[Deleted]

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-michael-wolff

tl;dr:

- quotes are from an inside-the-WH book by Michael Wolff: Fire and Fury

- “They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV.”, says the Lord of the Meth

- law abiding citizen Bannon thinks you should do your illegal sh-t in a Holiday Inn in Manchester, New Hampshire with your lawyers present: “The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor – with no lawyers. They didn’t have any lawyers. “Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately.”

- even shamble livers doesn't believe Mueller is done with Trump: “You realise where this is going,” he is quoted as saying. “This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner … It’s as plain as a hair on your face.”

- “It goes through Deutsche Bank and all the Kushner shit. The Kushner shit is greasy. They’re going to go right through that. They’re going to roll those two guys up and say play me or trade me.”, the non-globalist expands

- “They’re sitting on a beach trying to stop a Category Five.”

- FYI: Steve Bannon doesn't know non-liquid Russians, won't hire a lawyer, won't be a witness and won't Oprah about it on TV, thank you very much

- hates Javanka more than prohibition

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: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff, is based on hundreds of interviews, including ones with President Donald Trump and his inner circle. According to the Guardian, Bannon addressed the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and Russian operatives that was arranged when Trump Jr. agreed to meet a "Russian government attorney" after receiving an email offering him "very high level and sensitive information" that would "incriminate" Clinton.

"The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor -- with no lawyers. They didn't have any lawyers," Bannon continued, according to the Guardian. "Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad s***, and I happen to think it's all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately."

Bannon also reportedly told Wolff: "They're going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV."
The White House declined to comment Wednesday about Bannon's reported assertions.
Bannon also reportedly told Wolff that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign's potential ties to Russia is centered on money laundering, saying that the White House is "sitting on a beach trying to stop a Category Five" hurricane.

"You realize where this is going ... This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose (senior prosecutor Andrew) Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy," Bannon reportedly said. "Their path to f***ing Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr., and Jared Kushner ... It's as plain as a hair on your face."
Bannon said he believes Kushner, the White House senior adviser and the President's son-in-law, could be convinced to cooperate if Mueller probes his financial records.

They're going to go right through that. They're going to roll those two guys up and say play me or trade me," Bannon is reported as saying, apparently referring to Trump Jr. and Kushner.
The Trump Tower meeting has been of intense interest to the congressional Russia investigators as well as Mueller.
Trump Jr. testified before House investigators last month but would not say what he and his father discussed after reports surfaced about the meeting, citing attorney-client privilege.

Tick any boxes

1) Fake news from That librul Steve Bannon cuck!

2) I don't see no evidence!

3) It'll all be over by ....

Already a thread on this.

Didn't know so my bad.

Didn't know so my bad.

There are actually two other threads on this. One is actually getting replies because skroe made it, and the first one up, by slinkypoe.

Maybe Steve Bannon suspects that Trump is heading for a war in the Middle East and being influenced way too damn much by pro-war lobbies.

Yes, despite this having nothing to do with Middle East. With Bannon specifically pointing to Trump’s German bank account... this is what you believe? I think your opinion of Bannon is as unfounded, as your assertion this was over war in Middle East.

[lockedout]

Already a thread about this.

[Theodarzna]

Or the lizard people and Grey aliens are attempting to take over the pro-war lobbies to fight a race of cat people.

Whatever stops us from wrecking up Middle Eastern countries for no good reason.

[Ripster42]

Already a thread about this.

This was actually the first one posted.

[Dug]

A deplorable trying to distance himself from another that's all that is. Least Bannon is smart enough to read the writing on the wall

[Warning]

While Bannon is always somewhat grandiose in his expressions, I think it is accurate to say Don Jr is going to get reamed.

What do really know about these "thunder cats"?

Well we have to ask if they are sending us their best, their brightest. Or are they sending us people that have lots of problems and are they bringing those problems with us. Are they bringing drugs? Are they bringing crime? Are they rapists?

Bannon should just fuck off.

Not because of this episode mind you, but because of what that fucking idiot did in Alabama.

Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner agreed that if one of them were to run for president in the future, it would be her. “They didn’t say that?” said Bannon upon learning about the deal. “Stop. Oh, come on. They didn’t actually say that? Please don’t tell me that. Oh my God.”

Okeee. Imma gonna buy this book.

Hicks and Trump had a very close relationship, and Trump's inner circle saw her as something of a daughter to the president. "[Hope] Hicks was in fact thought of as Trump’s real daughter, while Ivanka was thought of as his real wife,” the book states.

Because, of course.

Wolff book on how top aides regard Trump: “For Steve Mnuchin and Reince Priebus, he was an ‘idiot.’ For Gary Cohn, he was ‘dumb as shit.’ For H.R. McMaster he was a ‘dope.’ The list went on.”

[Mormolyce]

I always knew Bannon would sell him out when the plates started to shift. He's like the canary down the garbage mine - this is the turning point.

Another gem:

Shortly after 8pm on Election Night, when the unexpected trend - Trump might actually win - seemed confirmed, Don Jr told a friend that his father, or DJT, as he calls him, looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears - and not of joy. There was, in the space of little more than an hour, in Steve Bannon's not unamused observation, a befuddled Trump morphing into a disbelieving Trump and then into a horrified Trump. But still to come was the final transformation: Suddenly, Donald Trump became a man who believed that he deserved to be, and was wholly capable of being, the president of the United States

Confirmed if anyone still didn't realise it. South Park was right.

Oh and this one, ahaha:

Former US National Security Adviser Mike Flynn knew that accepting money from Moscow for a speech could come back to haunt him, according to the book.

Wolff writes that before the election Mr Flynn "had been told by friends that it had not been a good idea to take $45,000 from the Russians for a speech. 'Well it would only be a problem if we won,' he assured them."

Since there were two threads on this topic made around the same time, and the other thread is more active than this one, going to close this one down.
