Youre doing the colluding wrong.
for the record, it was not the actual commission of treason that bothered Bannon. It was that they simply didnt do it right.
Bannon went on, Wolff writes, to say that if any such meeting had to take place, it should have been set up in a Holiday Inn in Manchester, New Hampshire, with your lawyers who meet with these people.
See guys? You hold your Russian agent meetings out of town, not in your own offices.
(Note to FBI: You might want to check the Manchester, New Hampshire Holiday Inn registration for the last few months of 2016. Just in case.)
Bannon also has an interesting take on one other thing.
Any information, he said, could then be dump(ed] down to Breitbart or something like that, or maybe some other more legitimate publication.
Its nice to know that even Steve Bannon realizes that Breitbart is not a legitimate publication. Oh, and FBI? Another note on things to check.

It's an authoritarian mindset.

(4,932 posts)Ban on is saying that nothing illegal happened and that the only reason we know about it is because of where the meeting took place. He's just trying to downplay the meeting and saying that Don Jr. was too stupid to know better. Nice try.

(8,138 posts)Which is why so many here (including me) get so frustrated with the Louise Mensch fascination, because she clearly repeats pretty much anything she hears from any source (even if it's only her own head sometimes). Without the vetting that actual journalists use she is susceptible to be used. Anybody could feed her any crazy idea and she would repeat it without any concern. (I should make up something weird and send it to her and see what happens.) Which is, of course, exactly how the Russian trolling worked. Throw something controversial/divisive out there and get people fighting about it. No evidence needed. It's like throwing a hologram of red meat to real wolves.
Whoever said your rag qualified as being anything other than legitimately racist, right right RIGHT WING NUT NAZI Propaganda?
And if you think it was treasonous why didn't YOU report instead of trying to prophet off it.
Capitalist Pig...how hope his supporters and Trumps finally figure out they got played and go back under the rocks they came from.
