Donald Trumps former chief strategist Steve Bannon has described the Trump Tower meeting between the presidents son and a group of Russians during the 2016 election campaign as treasonous and unpatriotic, according to an explosive new book seen by the Guardian.
Bannon, speaking to author Michael Wolff, warned that the investigation into alleged collusion with the Kremlin will focus on money laundering and predicted: Theyre going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV.
Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, reportedly based on more than 200 interviews with the president, his inner circle and players in and around the administration, is one of the most eagerly awaited political books of the year. In it, Wolff lifts the lid on a White House lurching from crisis to crisis amid internecine warfare, with even some of Trumps closest allies expressing contempt for him.

Thanks for confirming.
I caught a bit of cnn last night and was amazed at the discussion on Trump/Russia.
I saw and listened to one Elisabeth Price Foley,. It seemed that she was claiming, while figuratively eviscerating Jeffie Toobin, Trump /Russia is a BS pile “CRAP”! I looked up her on You Tube and found a previous run in she had, with Jeffie.

I’m hoping to find a video of last nights JT a55 whipping! She is well schooled and has a sharp mind for dates and facts!
One bit, she claimed cnn made a statement, Anderson said they had not. She then read from her paper notes, the date the statement was made!
When are we going to STOP BEING FOOLED BY FAKE NEWS??!!
This will be fake news in the end. The guy who wrote the book is most likely fabricating this.
Moore admitted to enough behavior (in the Hannity interview) that the allegations seemed plausible to people, apparently.
Whose book is this now?
>> just a private lawyer who was Russian <<
Sure. A bonafide KGB agent would always flash his or her KGB ID card when first introduced to a potential target.
Standard spycraft, no?
>> I will wait to see his reaction <<
Trouble is, the more he denies the story, the more attention it gets.
So he’s sorta damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.
(But if Wolff has him on tape, then maybe the story takes a different turn.)
Another Trump mis-step. He got in bed with a dog with fleas and now he too is infested.
I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe it’s just another Guardian lie.
I would think that Trump has people signing non-disclosure agreements.
Lets see how Bannon can dance with a Trump legal team. It would be a shame to see that the only media taken out by Trump would be “the new unimproved” Breitbart.
I miss Andrew.

Doesn’t strike me as a Trump supporter.
Bannon is signing a suicide note.
He defends Trump for over a year on these same charges, and now suddenly it becomes “treason”?
He looks like a fool, and must be guilty of treason himself since he was well aware of it and did nothing.
He should have exposed it and resigned.
No money in that!
I hope it is only talking points but with Mueller staffing his hit team with folks like Weissman and the Trumps complicated financials I’m not overly confident.
If Mueller breaks into the Trump family circle the President is going to go nuclear (figutively).
it looks like it is a guardian lie.
Of course Wolff is garbage, but Bannon needs to clearly repudiate (or affirm) quotes attributed to him.
IF Bannon is really going nuclear on Don, Jr. and Jared with terms like “treasonous” (Which is ridiculous) that speaks ill of Bannon, but it will be helpful to the MSM.
Noooo, certainly Wolff is no Trump supporter. He is a gossipy liberal obsessed with his own turgid blather.
FAKE
Good! That paper should be held to account.
