Enjoy.

so if bannon can get brietbart and the good graces of the mercers and other billionaires back, he could suddenly go fifth amendment.

The simple fact that muehler wants him before a grand jury means he isn't a target. Of course, it could be part of a deal, and if he goes back on it muehler might still have charges in waiting.

But don't rule out a fix here. Bannon has lost everything, and could still get it all back.

Robert Mueller is many steps ahead of Trump and his Treasonous Tribe. Months ago, I'm certain he knew that Trump would invoke Executive Privilege sooner or later. The subpoena sends the message to both Bannon and Trump that they will have to testify under oath. Anyone who invokes their Fifth Amendment rights will be committing political suicide.

For some time, I've had the feeling-- without any evidence-- that Bannon is actually in the clear regarding the Russians. There hasn't been any indication that he had meetings or conversations with any of the foreigners that were involved with Trump. So, even though he was the campaign's manager/CEO, I think it's possible that he wasn't involved in the collusion/conspiracy. This doesn't mean that he doesn't have a story to tell, of course.

he is running for his life. Pleading the fifth will have exactly zip to do with his future.

Who could have predicted a story would come out against a sitting unpopular president that he had a paid affair with a former porn star for a year, then paid her to shut up about it - all with no negative reaction whatsoever.

Taking the fifth? That will be like having black coffee with breakfast by the time this is over.

You are also probably headed in the right direction. Your last sentence makes this clear.

I'm still a half mile or so behind you. I'll catch up.

However, my comment about the Fish Amendment related more to Trump than Bannon. Bannon will do what he has to to save his own ass. By forcing Bannon to testify to the Grand Jury, Mr. Mueller removes any ability for Trump to interfere with the investigation; Bannon must testify truthfully.

Bit by bit, Trump is being isolated by the investigation.

Karma is just so sweet. I don't care for Bannon at all, but the enemy of my enemy...

I assume Bannon knows everything, so if he's willing to tell all that should be the whole ballgame. No?

This is the Mueller slam dunk.

All this hype about his testimony to me is pure theatrics. I do not see racist Bannon turning on the t-rump nor his family and cronies.

Witness protection anyone??????

But only a fool would go in front of Mueller and lie. Last time I checked, he was giving out jail time.

bannon's nuts in a vice.

fine by me.

movement best by doing this. They really should not need any help from the Russians. The people who need help from the Russians are the republicans who can't govern, but just want the power.
