Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon said there was "zero" chance that President Trump was not aware of a controversial 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between one of his sons and a Russian lawyer, according to a new book.

According to MSNBC, which tweeted an excerpt from Michael Wolff's upcoming book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Bannon said that it was likely Donald Trump Jr. took lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and others up to his father's office during the meeting.

“The chance that Don. Jr did not walk these Jumos up to his father’s office on the 26th floor is zero," the excerpt reads.

Yes, somehow Bannon is no longer the disgusting neo-Nazi, white supremacist, closet KKK member that the lamestreams have called him for years. Now he is Mr. Credibility.

> Is Bannon’s book out yet? If not how the hell does anyone take stock in what might be in it? <

There are articles at breitbart.com quoting Bannon from the book. And since Bannon is the executive chairman of Breitbart, I’m guessing these quotes are true.

Bannon was always trying to sabotage the GOP from the beginning.

Remember just a few months ago, when the Left and the Media positively HATED Bannon, knew he was a white supremacist, and a Looney leader of the Alt-Right?

And now, starting today, because he says outrageous things about Trump, to the same people who recently hated him, he is a truth-teller, a heroic whistleblower and all round good guy?

The insane Media has gone bananas over this crap. Crap that never needed to happen. WTF is WRONG with you, Steve Bannon?

Bannon always looked like a homeless person who had not washed his hair or face for a while. President Trump is the only person who gave him credibility.

Good riddance...

Time out, this is from a book. It is not directly from Bannon’s mouth. I want to hear what Bannon has to say.

And so.... what?

It’s STILL not illegal!

And Trump was probably the smart one who insisted he NOT go alone.

If he had we wouldvhave headlines every day “Trump Jr. CAUGHT in secret hotel tryst with Russian agent”

I wonder how much Mueller threatened him what kind of plea deal did he offer him.

I have to ask myself why is Bannon doing this now? What’s his endgame?

Take your pick. At least one surely applies:

A) He is mad he got canned from the administration
B) He knows criticizing Trump will get his website more clicks
C) He wants to run against Trump (or run someone else against him)
D) He is a jackass
E) All of the above

Those are excellent guesses!

Well, at least I can come out of the closet here and admit I never liked this slob.

Bannon doesn't want amnesty. He's gonna burn down everything just to try and stop it.

He doesn't like Jared and Don Jr. as well.

We have yet to hear from Bannon himself.

The problem is this. Technically there is nothing illegal about the meeting but Trump has repeatedly denied knowing about it.

This all sounds like a BS nothing burger being put out there by some desperate people.

"Who even knows this was what Bannon said.
Who is the writer of this book?
How credible is he?
And there are a lot of books that claim Hillary and the Clintons are criminals with credible evidence, yet the media never bothered tweeting excerpts from those books."

My thoughts exactly.
Thanks!

Well, if the Breitbart website is any indication, he's certainly not denying any of it (to say the least).

Yes, if you have any doubts about these stories, Breitbart is trumpeting them in large headlines. It was a sad day when Andrew died.
