Steve Bannon Privately Urged Trump To Lay Off Roy Moore
Source: Daily Beast
In the span of a single week, the White House and President Donald Trump’s top allies have gone from laying the groundwork to ditch Roy Moore—accused of, among other things, sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl—to laying the groundwork to celebrate his possible victory next month.
The shift has been evident in the White House’s messaging on Alabama Senate race, which on Monday centered on warning against the election of his Democratic opponent, Doug Jones. And it reflects a frantic effort behind the scenes to lobby the president not to go wobbly on the Republican candidate, who faces sexual assault and harassment allegations from nine women, some of whom were as young as 14 when the alleged incidents took place.
Multiple sources in and out of the West Wing say that some of Trump’s closest advisers have recommended that he not criticize Moore publicly prior to the election in November. Among those privately encouraging him to stay mum have been Kellyanne Conway, the president’s counselor and former campaign manager, and Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist and current Breitbart chairman.

A liver can only sustain so much punishment before it completely fails! 
Apparently Bannon already knows that Moore will win. The election is rigged. Polls mean nothing, actual vote counts mean nothing. Moore will win because Bannon and Putin say so.
That's the underlying message in this story.
