ALCOHOL.
“ALCOHOL.”
In Bannon’s case, that would explain a lot about why he has done what he has done.
10-4. Alcoholic in spades. I’ve known a few like that. Get them loaded, and off they go with the mouth. Grandiosity is a common characteristic of many alcoholics. I used to be like that, in fact. “Pompous buffoon” is what one guy called me lol. Sober now, many years (thank you, aa).
The author probably plied him good, and got him on tape. Lots of tapes.
