Steve Bannon will 'tell all' to Robert Mueller: report

Betsy Woodruff, political reporter for The Daily Beast, talks with Rachel Maddow about breaking news that Steve Bannon will speak freely to special counsel Robert Mueller because the executive privilege that prevented him from speaking to House Intel does not apply to a Mueller grand jury.

No link.

1. Sounds good.. hope trump is scared..

all 293 lbs.

6. Hey...

Are you suggesting that someone might have transposed some numbers?

I think that explanation makes sense. Hmmm.

I have this idea that the doctor played along about Trump's "excellent" health report to keep him from going all whacky about something that doesn't really matter that much. At least it doesn't matter that much, compared to the rest of the daily shit show that is the Trump presidency. And the, I guess, President does tend to retaliate at those that he feels have wronged him in some way.

16. LOL, all 289 lbs...more like 300+

2. And Woodruff would know this because...

??

[Hekate]

10. Because Betsy Woodruff is a good journalist and does her job nt

3. Anyone would have to be out of their friggin' mind.....

to lie to Mueller or any of his team.

[Iliyah]

4. But they are out of their "friggin mind"

9. Mueller can have them indicted and/or arrested though. Let 'em try it.

Flynn, Manafort, Papadoupolous and Gates know that already.

5. Wow! This is an intriguing story.

Will the White House try to stop Bannon from speaking to the Special Counsel?

Would that not then be "obstruction of justice"? It seems to me that it would.

The Executive Branch has the Justice Department under it. But the Special Counsel was hired by Rosenstein and cannot be fired directly by the White House.

What happens then if they attempt to stop Bannon from giving testimony to a grand jury? Would that not be contempt?

This may be a giant step forward in this investigation? It's getting close to the White House.

Someone spread the word: No one is above the law.

7. Same here. I think Bannon didn't want to give the goods to the traitorous GOPers, come as a surprise

[drray23]

8. its not like he has any choice.

Bannon is evil but unlike most of the Trump crew he is far from stupid. He knows that lying to Mueller would guarantee ending up in jail. His best course of action is to unload all he as on Trump and hope Mueller takes that into account...

[Hekate]

11. I hope Mueller squeezes Bannon until he pops

13. Thanks. Someone posted it an hour ago elsewhere so I though that

covered it.

[orleans]

14. i didn't see it. i googled. thanks for posting this thread.

(i love rachel!)

15. I would NEVER trust Bannon. He sees himself as a martyr for Trump freaks...

even if it means being caught lying.
He'd probably rather gum up Mueller's work with lies to make them look silly, than to be honest.
Honesty and Bannon are not friends.

18. I suspect that part of the Trump team's calculation to

letting Bannon go was they did not think he could add much to to Russia collusion concern because he arrived later in the game. From the 'treasonous' remark, he probably kept his distance.

To have gathered all that Mueller's team has and then be handed the Fire & Fury Wolff book on top of Trump severing their relationship and Bannon losing his job at Brietbart and financial backing from Mercer, Mueller couldn't ask for much more in terms of ideal circumstances to question Bannon.

19. As much as he might have the goods on Trump, I hope he dishes the dirt on the GOP.

[JNelson6563]

20. If he lives that long.

[uponit7771]

21. +1

22. Bannon might decide to f*** Trump and Jarvanka good.

I recently finished reading Wolff's Fire and Fury, and some of the comments attributed to Bannon lead me to think he might destroy "Bannonstein's Monster", partly from disappointment.
