Bannon's Target Isn't Trump, It's Still Kushner

The former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon fires up the feud against his nemesis during the White House days, Jared Kushner.

The January 3rd edition of the British newspaper Guardianopens with “explosive revelations”. Michael Wolff interviews Steve Bannon about the latter’s book “Fire and Fury: inside the Trump White House”, which calls Donald Jr’s (Trump’s first born son) meetings with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya “treasonous” and “unpatriotic”.

Most media stop there. Most liberals, fueled by their hatred towards Donald Trump, also stop there and take it to Twitter because that’s how far their political slacktivism can go. Then Trump replied on the wave of emotions and everything went nuclear. Since everyone seems to be too emotional not only to read through the lines, but actually to simply read the lines, we’ll offer some strategic analysis and put everything into context.

Let’s start with Bannon’s quotes: “Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately. (…)You realise where this is going. This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner … It’s as plain as a hair on your face.”

If you want to know what Bannon thinks, you either ask him or read Breitbart, which presents the same revelations with a rather different focus, ignoring Donald Jr. while highlighting Kushner’s role.

A second article on the topic targets the power couple Jared and his wife Ivanka.

Most importantly, the first article on the home page, highlighted in capital letters, is again about Jared Kushner.The article is penned by Adam Shaw, who happens to be one of Bannon’s most trusted writers, and lists essentially everything that’s wrong with Kushner, suggesting what Trump should do with him.

Bannon is about as relevant as Rosie O'Donnel. She at least is sober and has a girl friend. He should try it.

Going after the least threatening victim. The kill will be hauled back to the pack to be devoured. Worthy of the Animal Channel's predator series, "Hyenas".

Bannon is trying to make himself relevant. He is not. He leads the league in leaks!!!

I not ever trusted Bannon and I've not ever trusted Kushner either. Kushner and Ivanka should pack up and move back to NYC.

None of them were prepared to deal with the actuality of this presidency including Trump himself. He is in over his hair sprayed comb over and idiotic Tweets and reality stardom and failed bankrupted ventures that left the very working class he panders too holding the bag.
That's America though ! Everyone is willing to roll over and take it if they THINK it's in their own fantasy interests.

4:29 You do have a point. Not sure were those 2 bread is buttered, but blood is thicker tan water. As far as the Don Jr, meeting, it was 2 months after Bannon came on.
