        In September, Bannon said firing Jim Comey was the dumbest decision in modern political history bc it expanded the investigation into Trump.

        In January, his comments to Michael Wolff made it clear he opposed the June 9 Trump Tower meeting bc Paul Manafort hadn't used lawyers as cutouts to hide the corruption.

        On Monday, the lawyer that Trump uses as such a cutout, Michael Cohen, got raided. They were looking for comms bt Trump, Cohen, *and others* about something Bannon has said he and Marc Kasowitz were involved with: legal problems having to do with women.

        Want to bet Bannon (and Kasowitz, who sent a rep to the White House this week to consult with Trump) is among the "and others" included in discussions about suppressing Access Hollywood? Because I do.

        So 7 months ago, Bannon said firing the prosecutor investigating your actions was the dumbest possible decision. It was dumb when Jared was the one making such decisions. But now?!?! Bannon wants to do Kushner several better, by firing all the lawyers.

        Who's Bannon going to use for cut-out work if he fires all the lawyers?

        One more thing: If Mueller (er, um, SDNY) is asking for comms involving Cohen, Trump, AND other aides (cough, Bannon and Kasowitz), no privilege. 4's a crowd.

        TBH, I really don’t trust any words from Bannon. I feel like he just chucks out chaff which is part of a convoluted disinformation campaign - as he chuckles in the dark wearing too many shirts. 🙄

        The sight of a former naval officer climbing back onboard a burning ship is amusing.

        Could actually be a clever last ditch strategy to get Trump to throw himself under the bus so smaller fish like Bannon can be lost impeachment shuffle. Won't work, but I see where his head's at.

        Bannon already made the biggest political mistake and he’s only trying to break his own record. He’s the Usain Bolt of stupid

        Jared was right, in a way, that both sides had mixed feelings about Comey. Who knows where we'd be if Trump had never blabbed to Holt. Bannon really wants to figure out what would happen if they fire a figure who is actually respected on all sides.

        The reason for interest in the Access Hollywood tape isn't because of criminal intent in trying to cover it up, it's because the Hillary email release occurred 25 minutes later, which begs the question of whether a Trump associate orchestrated the timing.
