Let's hope daddyrabbit gets the news about this. Bannon is the one I'd most like to see get his butt brushed out of the White House completely.

(3,335 posts)cover as Trump's Brain, Morning Joe then was reporting that Trump didn't like Bannon getting that kind of attention and was on his way out. Obviously he's rebounded, and now it's Jared whose in the hot seat with first his sister and now his uncle using Trump's presidency to sell $500,000 condos in New Jersey to the Chinese and for them to get a VISA and a pass to citizenship with it. (FTR, I do know that what they're hawking is not legal so no one needs to tell me that.)

(19,871 posts)...it just eats itself from the inside and eventually dies out. There is no "team" in the Trump admin where everyone collaborates and supports each other. Instead you have a group of individuals all jockeying to be the big shit for the emperor.
I love it, let all in the Trump admin out each other and let it die a quick death.

(37,161 posts)...by leaking he stuff about Bannon leaking about son-in-law-off-the-ol'-block. Someone wants to undermine Big Desk Brannon's profile with Prima Donnie, and going after Smoking Hot Favorite Daughter's hubby will do that.
Of course, both parts can be true. Kremlin Don's Courtier Thunderdome breeds this sort of thing.

(1,257 posts)If that bloviated, sweaty, alcoholic and melanoma toting fat fascist pig was the source of many so called leaks.
He knows that if you throw the appropriate bone to the press, they will be all over it like flies on sugar.
He is a manipulative bastard, and we know that he is playing the comb-over king like a cheap fiddle, calling the tunes.
They all just need to go, not just Jar Head.
Den of vipers, the lot of 'em.

(6,929 posts)but is someone telling Trump that people are saying President Bannon?? That should get a reaction.

(37,648 posts)Trump said he quit watching it because they are mean and spiteful & talk about fake news. But I suspect he still watches. Even if he doesn't, he heard from those who do. It's THE morning political show.

Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)Why would Bannon throw Kushner under the bus, if he knew there was a connection between Kushner and Trump that would later prove to be collusion with Russia? Leading the prosecutor to the small fish which would lead to the big fish being taken down seems detrimental to Bannon's job security.
Hmm.
Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)MJ says it's obvious because Trump doesn't know politics or how to speak & doesn't have a clue about agendas. He says the climate speech has Bannon all over it.
I don't think MJ said that Bannon is leaking about Kushner. He may have, but I don't remember that.
So any rumors that Bannon's power in the WH has lessened are untrue, is MJ's opinion.

(35,454 posts)I love nothing more than a good reality drama, and nothing is better than the reality-TV star-turned-president and his merry band of misfits. On Friday,
Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough posited an interesting theory, and one that I think I can get behind.
According to Scarboroughs sources inside the White House, White House chief political strategist and proud white nationalist Steve Papa Bannon is behind leaks against Trumps son-in-law, Jared Got Dem Visas Kushner.
We know that the two have been openly feuding inside the White House over who gets to pull President Vladimir TrumPutins puppet strings. And with Papa Bannons connections to the press via right-wing site Breitbart, this feels highly likely.
Steve Bannon was running around fromaccording to my sources, bragging to journalists a month and a half ago that he didnt have to worry about Kushner and he was going to sideline Kushner because of Russia, that he had information on the Russian investigation, and that he was going to sideline Jared Kushner, the MSNBC host said, according to Raw Story.

Scarborough fingers Bannon as leaker: Hes been bragging he would sideline Kushner on Russia
Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough on Friday revealed that some of his sources within the White House have hinted that White House chief political strategist Steve Bannon is behind some of the damaging leaks against Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.

While discussing the latest problems facing Kushner, Scarborough said that people in the White House have told him that Bannon this past April boasted that he wouldnt have to worry about Kushner much longer thanks to soon-to-be-revealed bombshells about his undisclosed meeting with a Russian bank official.

(14,537 posts)is the leaker on Jared. He hates him. All you have to do is read his site to know his opinion of Jews. After their kerfuffle a while ago Bannon was relegated to the back seat. Then Kushner the leaks started.
Bannon knows too much, they can't fire him and so does Kushner.
This is going to be fun to watch. A slow motion train wreck. Jared will start turning on Bannon, if he hasn't already.

The timing of Kushners December meeting with executives from VneshEconomBank, or VEB, at the suggestion of the Russian ambassador, has also raised concerns from government watchdog groups across the political spectrum.
Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, (which was founded by Trump adviser Stephen Bannon and funded in part by a Trump mega-donor, Rebekah Mercer), said the meeting had conflict of interest written all over it.
You worry about a quid pro quo, you worry about Kushner getting some financial arrangement from a Russian financial institution, and you worry about White House policy being shaped in a way that benefits either those banks or Russia at large, Schweizer told ABC News. That's the concern.

(35,454 posts)Bannon that is. If we know all this about him, "others do too".

(12,448 posts)I trust Katy Tur; Joe Scar not so much, although he's been saying some interesting stuff lately.
Kaleva
(36,340 posts)I could see Bannon leaking in order to fire up Trump's base who hate his daughter and son in law and are enemies of Bannon.
AntiFascist
(12,792 posts)now if we could only learn that Bannon was working with the Russians on fake news stories, something he would surely have expertise from his time at Breitbart. Did he ever visit one of those Russian compounds?
wildeyed
(11,243 posts)You know who really gets hurt by the leaks about Jared? Donald Trump. If Bannon is so disloyal that he will do that to his boss, then he is exactly the kind of advisor the Trump deserves.
