I'm NOT buying the Trump/Bannon Dog & Pony Show ...

[mr_lebowski]

Trump has shown over and over that his strategy on fighting TrumpRussia is to impugn everyone involved in ANY sense ... Hillary, Obama, Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein, Sessions, the Media, the 'coffee boy' ... you name it, everyone is either puny and unimportant, or LYING!

This little game today is really all about 'what Trumps knows Bannon knows about Russia', which I'm sure is quite a bit. Bannon may not be willing to risk lying about what he did/knows to Mueller, and Trump probably is aware of that.

So his only strategy here is to drum up a feud with Bannon, so that later on, he can claim to whoever's stupid enough to listen: 'Who told you that? STEVE BANNON! That Loser! I fired him! Didn't you see our feud ALL across the Media when the book came out!?! It was HUGE story, the HUGEST! And so everyone's saying he's just trying to TAKE ME DOWN, that LIAR!'

Trump is also braying about Bannon 'taking too much credit' because he knows Bannon WAS in fact instrumental in getting him into office ... and he did so ... by working w/Cambridge, and the Russians.

To whit: Bannon aided him by dispersing the DNC emails (stolen by Russians) via Wikileaks and Breitbart.

Additionally, we all know, Russians were targeting people catapulting the fake ads and stories and tweets (and trolls on message boards/forums) ... and they know who might be persuaded to back Trump, or Stein, or Write in Bernie Sanders, or just stay home cause everyone running ... sucks ... because Cambridge collected and analyzed the data to make the determination on who to spend money targeting (hence Mueller making Facebook provide data on who paid for what ads in 2016)

TRUTH: Bannon DID have a fcuk of a lot to do with getting Trump into office, but how he did it I bet you DOES involve Russia, and Bannon might just not be willing to do time for lying about it to Mueller (or he's trying to get less time for whatever illegal shit he did in general).

The more it is admitted that Bannon 'helped him win', the more it looks like Russia helped him win is the bottom-line.

SO, this is basically Trumps only play ... and it may just help Bannon out as well ... but Bannon likely knows he's already busted, so ... that aspect is less important than keeping Drumpf in office, and the CON agenda moving forward.

3. What?! You don't believe the Masked Claw and the Crusher are now mortal enemies?

Sure, they were tag team partners for a long time, but after the Claw clobbered the Crusher with that steel folding chair, and wouldn't tag in when they lost the championship match at Rasslemania, it's a relationship that's pretty much beyond repair. Even their manager, Norman "the Neuron" Nettles says they're through with each other!
