    Rumors have swirled that Bannon, while in the White House, was responsible for some of the most damaging leaks about Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner — including one about Kushner's meeting in December 2016 with the CEO of a sanctioned Russian bank.

    Bannon was also one of the officials Trump Jr. emailed about his repeated contacts with WikiLeaks in September 2016, according to documents obtained by The Atlantic.

    I know he wasn't in the infamous Trump Tower meeting, but there is no way this guy doesn't have something of value to offer Mueller... The question is, can Mueller pin anything on Bannon, or will it be entirely voluntary?

    Also interesting that this news comes out on the same day Bannon is testifying to the House Intelligence Committee, performing their completely unnecessary Russian investigation...

    It's likely Heir Bannon is the source of this info.

    Bannon will sing like a canary. Donnie shouldn't have said such ugly things about him.

    Ah so this is what the new weeks cycle will be about.

    I was wondering what bit of absurd butthurt the left would churn out.

    First it was "mental health" then it was "shithole" and now we're back to the Russian conspiracy.

    You people honestly think there can possibly be anything on Trump.

    Pathetic.

    Every spy agency in the world was on Trump.

    if there was something to find it would have been found.

    Your media masters are just dragging you along because high ratings mean more ad revenue.

    Capitalism baby, its ****ing awesome.

    Give people LIES to satisfy their ignorant butthurt hatred and they'll hand you stacks of money in exchange.

    I love it.

    According to Wolff's book, Bannon still supports Trump but HATES his family. For him, Trump is a convenient fool and tool - someone who is willfully ignorant, not that bright, and easily malleable; a perfect puppet president.

    This could get pretty interesting.

    You can rest assured that the GOP controlled committees will baulk at releasing Bannon's testimony and the GJ testimony will be sealed until SC Mueller is good and ready to indict his long list.

    Mueller wasn't in on mental health and shithole... he is where he's been all along.... now comes another voice he needs to hear....

    My OP doesn't mention Trump - Trump Jr, Trump son-in-law and Trump Tower, yes, but not Trump... Trump has not been officially connected to Russian election interference to date... Don't jump the gun.... But to answer your question, yeah, I believe there could be something direct between Trump and Russia, but much more likely between others on his behalf and Russia...

    Don't believe this is a story the 'left is churning out'.. A subpoena of somebody of Bannon's magnitude to Trump is news, not left opinion... sorry...

    Its the left's ever-changing hysterical news cycle that I was referring to.

    Have you not noticed how there hasn't been one single week since Jun 2015 that went by without the left having an utter meltdown over something Trump?

    Its a cash cow for them, and they aren't stopping.

    I'm just remarking on how they mix it up every once in a while to keep the viewers think the same 3 year old piles of **** is fresh.

    Nah you just wake up every day ready to hate.

    Liberals are angry because they lost and that anger leads them to see enemies everywhere.

    Your liar in chief does this exact thing and your just either ignorant or blinded by partisanship to think otherwise. So welcome to the party.

    I doubt they even consider the original scope of what the investigation was supposed to be about.

    They probably think Muller is empowered to sit there with a copy of Wolff's book going through it page by page asking Bannon what was true.

    Yes, obama's spy agencies were on trump like white on rice, stink on fecal matter. If they had the goods, we would have known it last Jan. Since they didn't have the goods, they need Mueller, to try to find something on his family, to use against him, to get him out of office.

    Greenwald tried to keep the left from getting their hopes up on collusion, but driven by hatred, they did not heed him. We can expect to see more of these people having to go to shrinks once the bad news comes.

    You don't know what your talking about. You should listen to the norman goldman show he is a lawyer and will teach you about how law and civics work even if you don't agree with his political opinions.

    Why would you assume he hasn't already started? He's already made deals with Flynn and Popodopolous

    Yea and during Nixon's time the only way to listen in on a phone conversation was to physically "tap" into a line.

    These days we reach into the sky and snatch the conversation from the thin air.

    If anyone thinks that every single minute of Trump's life from the point when he became the nominee wasn't being monitored by every spy agency we have (not to mention the agencies of other nations and even "hackers") then they are absolutely ignorant to the way the world works.

    Lets just be clear here.

    The premise is that ...Donald Trump ...masterminded "collusion" with Russia and evaded the eyes of the world while doing it.

    Yea, the same people saying Trump is "a moron" and "and imbecile" are also saying he pulled one over on what is probably a $30 trillion dollar world wide spy industry.

    Yea.

    And lets also consider the fact that this accusation of "collusion" hasn't ever once been detailed - what exactly did he do? ...they never say.

    They don't even have a specific accusation against him and that alone should be an indicator to any logical person that this entire "investigation" is bullshit.

    This is nothing more than liberals being butthurt about losing and crying "criminal" without any proof just like how they cry "racist" or "bigot" or "whatever".

    The whole collusion thing exists, again, because Trump has a big mouth and doesn't know when to ****. It exists because he asked Russia, however tongue in cheek, to look into HRC's emails. That led to the tailspin, then meetings, etc.

    Trump is his own worst enemy.

    And if his sons or admin engineered some form of pre-presidency election rigging in the form of ad design, etc, then he absolutely is responsible.
