Bannon Admits He's White House Leaker

[louis c]

I have long suspected that one of the white House leakers was Steve Bannon.

For a smart guy, he's pretty stupid. He calls a liberal journalist who agrees with Bannon on trade and carries on a conversation. The reporter claims Bannon never said it was off the record, so his opinions on trade, Trump's position on North Korea, Bannon's opinion on the white supremacists and his opinion on other staffers all comes out.

What he said in the article is of little interest to me. What he said after it was published, that's what's interesting.

Bannon claims the conversation was "off the record" and that he never gave the reporter permission to use his name. The reporter disputes that. Does Steve Bannon know what an "off the record" conversation with a reporter in order to shield your identity is called? I know. It's called a fucking leak, you moron.

You just admitted that you're the leaker. See ya'.

1. Bannon isn't stupid and he's extremely familiar with the way

the media operate. He would know the difference between an off-the-record conversation and one that was fair game. His intent was to let Trump know how dangerous he is and dare him to fire him.

2. He ran Breitbart for years, of course he knows what an "off the record" conversation is.

Bannon doesn't do anything be accident. I suspect that everything he said was intentional and deliberate. Remember, this guy works through fear and intimidation, and it looks more like he was sending out both overt and cryptic messages to specific people in the government.

3. Antibiotics could clear that up.

As well as more frequent bathing.

5. President Trump said he was going to go after the leakers

Will he actually go after Steve Bannon? Or will he just impotently shrug his shoulders? Or even remember that he once had a raging hard-on for leakers in the White House?

6. Bannon knows where the bodies are . . .

or the servers anyway. I don't think Il Douche has the balls to get rid of Bannon.

7. I was picturing him passed out on that yellow stripey couch with a puddle in his shorts
