Seth Abramson just read my mind. Or I read his.

Anyway, we both thought exactly the same thing.

1. Right?

Bannon has been kissing Dotard's ample ass since he was relieved of his job. Something changed...bigly.

[Motley13]

2. Mueller doesn't have to do a thing, just sit back & these clowns will implode

he just has to sort through the shit.

[uponit7771]

3. Bannon cut a deal, if he hasn't then he's fuckin stupid to know about Don Jr's Russia meeting & not

... say something to the authorities about it

[n2doc]

4. I think it is all just theater n/t

[triron]

5. I have a hunch we will know more soon.

[kentuck]

6. Indeed.

[OnDoutside]

7. What I don't understand is

Bannon came on the campaign in August, so wasn't there for the early meetings with the Russians. Fine. However, he was connected to Cambridge Analytica, who may have used stolen voter roll data, as supplied by the Rooskis. Is he super confident that he is in the clear ? And let's not forget the Mercers.

8. I doubt he thinks he's in the clear. But he knows if he already has a deal with Mueller,

or if he's aiming to make one.

[OnDoutside]

11. If he had a deal with Mueller, wouldn't it be likely he'd be told not to talk at all ?

[pnwmom]

12. He may have given his interview to the author long ago. Do you know the timeline by any chance?

[OnDoutside]

14. That's a fair point re the interview. Timeline, Bannon and Conway were brought in when Manafort left

after the convention iirc. The emails were being released at that stage, but also continued to be released right into October, when he was there. And IF the rumour is true that Russia delivered hacked voter roll data to Cambridge Analytica (probably September into October), then surely that connects him in there as well.

9. I think he's got his hands sticky with the Russians but probably not as much as others.

Which definitely would give him an incentive to flip on those with greater involvement than him.

And that includes members of the Trump family.

And Trump himself.

[IluvPitties]

10. I think Banning has already spoken to Mueller.

I think he is calculating that he will benefit from Trump's demise. The imperfect vessel sank, but he, the messenger, is still standing for America. Think 2020.

13. Hubs and I were just talking about this when I got back from the grocery

In fact, he was so floored by the revelation that he called me while I was still at the store to talk about it. He even watched Chuck Todd to hear about it all.


I guess we're compatible.

[pnwmom]

15. Can you imagine being married to a Trump supporter? I can't imagine

being married to anyone who didn't vote for Hillary, no matter what their reason was.

[eleny]

16. Nope, can't imagine it

I can't talk to old coworkers who are Rs. And I don't even know if they voted for the menace. But they've supported that Party and imo that led to current events. I don't forgive them for their collective willful ignorance.

17. A high school friend called me out of the blue, over the holidays -- just to catch up.

I had to call her back and I was nervous about it. Of all my friends she was the one I wasn't sure about -- and if she liked Trump I didn't know how I'd deal with it.

Turned out I had nothing to worry about. She loathes him as much as I do. So we're still friends.

[eleny]

18. A neat thing!

I'm glad it all worked out. I can imagine how you felt touching base with trepidation. But it turned out to be a good time commiserating and catching up.

Out here I met a couple of women online who sew. We all live pretty close and decided to meet for lunch for a first get together. Three of us met and we're all kindred spirits with sewing and politics! Then a fourth person joined us the next time and she's also a lefty. Then a few months later a fifth woman came to lunch and she also leans way left. What are the chances of that?! We all consider it so lucky and so much fun. It just means there's no tension around the table at all. I have four new like minded buddies as of 2016. Not religious here but I do feel blessed.

19. So now you can all . . .
