[b]Trumps lawyers send cease-and-desist letter to Bannon[/b]
In a letter sent Wednesday night, Trumps lawyers told Bannon his comments to author Michael Wolff in a soon-to-be-released tell-all book violate Bannons employment agreement with Trump in numerous ways and also defame the president.
You have breached the Agreement by, among other things, communicating with author Michael Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company, disclosing Confidential Information to Mr. Wolff, and making disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements to Mr. Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company, the letter reads.
Trump is described as being enraged at Wolffs new book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, that describes him as not prepared to be president, poorly informed about the basics of governing and ridiculed at times behind his back.
I very much hope that some of these Trump NDAs can be pierced. A lot more people would be talking.-
such a Joke–legal action is imminent–like a lawsuit would be a disaster for him–more legal eyes looking at you but he did not sue ALL the women he said he would sue

More than a dozen lawmakers last month met with a Yale University psychiatry professor for two days to discuss President Trump’s fitness for office, Politico
Dr. Bandy X. Lee reportedly met with the group of lawmakers on Dec. 5 and Dec. 6 and warned them the president is “going to unravel.” All of the lawmakers in attendance were Democrats, except for one Republican senator.

The damage is done. There’s hit pieces all over based on this book. Also interesting how the lawyers are looking to enforce an NDA since none of this stuff is true per DJT.
Love the part about him eating McDs in his bathroom while locked in his bedroom.

so according to Sarah Sanders-DT continued to talk with Bannon even though he thought Bannon had lost his mind

Sounds like a whole lot of fake news to me. Would not be surprised if Bannon comes out saying his views were substantially misrepresented. But it is amusing to watch Leftists gossiping like old ladies on a park bench.

From [link=http://nym.ag/2CD4Yy3]New York Magazine[/link]:
[blockquote] He conducted more than 200 interviews. In true Trumpian fashion, the administrations lack of experience and disdain for political norms made for a hodgepodge of journalistic challenges. Information would be provided off-the-record or on deep background, then casually put on the record. Sources would fail to set any parameters on the use of a conversation, or would provide accounts in confidence, only to subsequently share their views widely. And the presidents own views, private as well as public, were constantly shared by others. The adaptation presented here offers a front-row view of Trumps presidency, from his improvised transition to his first months in the Oval Office.

On the the July 8 preparation aboard Air Force One of the initial (and false) explanation about the Trump Tower meeting with Russians during the campaign, made under Trumps personal direction: Ivanka, according to the later recollection of her team, would shortly leave the meeting, take a pill, and go to sleep. Jared, in the telling of his team, might have been there, but he was not taking a pencil to anything.
Nearby, in a small conference room watching the movie [i]Fargo[/i], were Dina Powell, Gary Cohn, Stephen Miller, and H. R. McMaster, all of whom would later insist that they were, however physically close to the unfolding crisis, removed from it.

Before you drown by salivation….peek at the Wiki listing for Mr. Wolff:
[blockquote] [h2]Criticism[/h2] In its review of Wolff’s book [i]Burn Rate[/i], [i][link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brill%27s_Content]Brill’s Content[/link][/i] criticized Wolff for “apparent factual errors” and said that 13 people, including subjects he mentioned, complained that Wolff had “invented or changed quotes”.[link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Wolff_(journalist)#cite_note-21][21][/link][/sup]
In a 2004 cover story for [i][link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Republic]The New Republic[/link][/i], Michelle Cottle wrote that Wolff was “uninterested in the working press,” preferring to focus on “the power playersthe moguls” and was “fixated on culture, style, buzz, and money, money, money.” She also noted that “the scenes in his columns arent recreated so much as createdspringing from Wolffs imagination rather than from actual knowledge of events.” Calling his writing “a whirlwind of flourishes and tangents and asides that often stray so far from the central point that you begin to wonder whether there is a central point.”[link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Wolff_(journalist)#cite_note-22][22][/link][/sup]

I look forward to the criticism and fact-checking.
-
All the complaints are coming form Trump and the Administration. Haven’t heard Bannon complain the book is misrepresenting him. So who cares about a single criticism of an earlier Wolff book. It’s this one that counts & the only one claiming “fake news” are the boys who are constantly crying “Wolff!” Pardon the pun.
If anyone knows about fake news it is Trump who constantly uses it.
Another comedic point, Trump claiming Bannon was “only” a staffer. Unfortunately for him Bannon was a staffer who knows quite a bit & his opinion about Trump, his Administration & Trump, Jr. are his opinion, something that was valued until only a few hours ago.
-
All of this Leftist whining and scorning about Trump, while he takes concrete, yet moderate steps to boost an America that’s been slumping for decades.
It’s ok, guys. You can hoot and jeer from the peanut gallery, but you may jump on board the Trump train to success at any time you wish.-
Whining??? Im eating popcorn & enjoying the nonstop show.
-
So let me get this straight. Per Mr. Wolff, Trump [i]didn’t[/i] want to be President, but colluded with the Russians to get himself elected. Did I get that right?
I, too, am enjoying the show…which is being staged by delusional Trump-hating Lefties.
-
Curious
Why is this a left wing media thing
Bannon said the stuff
No one is denying that
From my outside perspective this seems like a sheet show of Bannon badmouthing Ivanka jarred and junior
Seems like the lefties are sitting back and enjoying the show
Basically anything negative about trump cry cry cry about left wing media….. well basically this was from the king of alt right media…… straight out of his mouth
-
We have yet to see just what Bannon did or didn’t say. He came out yesterday saying Trump was a “Great Man” and I don’t think he was referring to his girth.
Let’s face it…the Left wing media has declared itself the weapon to be used against Trump (and anyone who supports him in the slightest.)
Again, please help me understand….Trump didn’t want to be President, but colluded with the Russians to beat Shrillary. Guess that’s just above my pay-grade.

oh I just love seeing the dumb duped Trump supports contort themselves in all different positions over this book–the guy is a LOSER

Did Wolff say that Trump colluded? I didn’t notice that part. When I read the NYmag story it seemed to read that he eventually embraced it. How can this be Trump-hating Lefties when it’s Steve Bannon who’s firing shots?
Let’s get Bannon on DR Phil for a lie detector test.-

Many of the Bannon “quotes” concern the Russian stuff, so yes, Wolff is pushing the fake Russiagate meme. And that Trump didn’t want to be President. So why would Trump collude with Russia if he didn’t want to be President?
I take it you boys have no answer for that, just as you had no answer for the fact that Khrushchev proudly intervened to help JFK in 1960. -

I could buy that counter argument
But left wing conspiracy……. ummmmm thats a major gigantic reach

Papadopoulous – Minor unpaid player who somehow managed to get photographed in a meeting with Trump.

[[b]What Wolff got right:[/b]
[link=https://www.axios.com/the-wolff-lines-on-trump-that-ring-unambiguously-true-2522675021.html]Mike Allen and Jim Vande Hei[/link]: There are definitely parts of Michael Wolffs [link=http://amzn.to/2CEnaHI][i]Fire and Fury[/i][/link] that are wrong, sloppy, or betray off-the-record confidence. But there are two things he gets absolutely right, even in the eyes of White House officials who think some of the books scenes are fiction: his spot-on portrait of Trump as an emotionally erratic president, and the low opinion of him among some of those serving him.
In the past year, we have had many of the same conversations with the same sources Wolff used. We wont betray them, or put on the record what was off.

I think you and I can glean a certain measure of one’s intelligence from his or her speech, can we not? The Trumps are not sophisticates. They may be shrewd and successful in business, but I simply don’t think they’re the most intelligent people out there. (Nor, by the way, is Obama – lest I be thought to be one of the herd who think him to be a genius. I don’t. He just has a certain [i]ennui [/i]that gives the appearance of lofty intellectual detachedness.)
Doesn’t mean I’m not happy to have voted for Trump. But would I prefer a Teddy Roosevelt (IMO, the most accomplished man to have ever served in that office)? Absolutely.-
Don’t fall into the NeverTrumper’s trap. They hate Trump because he is not “genteel and refined” as they would like to envision themselves. He is a coarse New York businessman, and I personally think that is exactly what this nation needs to combat those who would see us destroyed, both from within and from without.

Dalai
Maybe many of them just dont like the white Nationalist aspect of trump or the bizarre or inappropriate tweets of a 10 yr old
GWB tried to parlay that unrefined aspect and the same people loved him
Just my 2 cents
That being it said its your party maybe you are right
-
I truly think I am right on this. The previous occupant attempted to “fundamentally transform” this nation into a Socialist banana republic, and that would have been completed by Shrillary had she won.
Just because a handful of white supremacists like Trump does not make him one of them. That is a false tautology. Trump is probably the least racist President in our lifetime. Don’t forget he has Jewish children and grandchildren, and employs more women and other minorities than any of his predecessors. I find the tweets endearing to some degree, and appreciate the raw connection they provide, not filtered or altered by the media who by and large wanted the “fundamental transformation.”
Get over your media-induced revulsion and try to look at what the man is [i]really [/i]doing, not what PMSNBC [i]tells [/i]you he’s doing.-

He may not be a white supremacist as in putting on his white hood but he certainly did validate them. They said as much during their unite the white rally.
It’s inappropriate that our government is based on what he feels like tweeting.
I know right. You’ll never here the lame street media report about how Donald Trump was responsible for such an impeccable 2017 air safety record.-
I could not disagree with you more Dalai
He is transforming nothing
Please tell me and show me what Betsy Davos is transforming???
That the earth is 10,000 yrs old and everyone should be homeschooled because less desirable people should not go to school with her kind????

To Dalai’s comment on billion dollar company. I’ve only ever seen things that say estimated value. It’s not a public company to my knowledge so no one knows the numbers. Sort of like his taxes. He might have $3billion in real estate and $4 billion in debt (maybe to shady Russians). He owns golf courses and Golf is a dying business.
Not his direct descendant but I’ve seen estimations that Kush is in way over his head on real estate.

How much of his money was from money laundering or other illegal activity?

It would be great if we saw his taxes or any financial info that would shed light on what kind businessman he actually is. What you call course I’d call catastrophically stupid. Like tweeting about your nuclear button.

Quote from Jan the Third
Regardless of the details, it’s not easy to make such a great real estate empire that yours is a worldwide household name.
Right now it’s the name. Arguably it was easy for him being that his father was massively wealthy Fred Trump who had a real estate empire which he took over and renamed TRump Organization. Trump is a name Brand and that I’ll give him. However, I don’t know of anyone who’s looking to stay at a Trump Hotel, buy a Trump shirt/tie, or MAGA hat. I’ve played Trump National Doral but I didn’t like it as much as Seminole or Indian Creek. Good course though.

Quote from DoctorDalai

Deutsche Bank valued him at $970mil in 2010. In the 90s, his net worth was negative.
He himself values his ‘brand’ at 3.5B which is curious as people are paying money to get out of his licensing deals. At this point his ‘brand’ is toxic.He started out at $140mil in 1974 and now he is maybe at $1.5B to $2.5B. That’s pretty mediocre as investors go. A Standard & Poor’s index fund would have beaten him.

My point earlier was prove his worth? I can’t remember where I heard this, maybe Bruce Bartlett, but Trump made a small fortune by squandering a large fortune. He’ll tell you he’s a billionair 10 times over. I thought I read he was worth less than $300mil in cash. If you invested $100million in an index fund in 2009 that’s be worth like $400mil now right? If you did that in the 70’s you’d be bucks up. Like I said though no one really knows because he won’t release financial info.
Doesn’t he hate when people question his worth? Maybe it’s really a lot of fiction.-
He is Kardashian in a blue suit from a personal standpoint but they are actually probably better business people

Dianne Feinstein unilaterally releases the transcripts from the Fusion GPS congressional testimony.
Analysis coming , but one interesting tidbit is that Fusion head claimed that Steele had said the FBI had a “walk-in whistleblower” from the Trump campaign.
Give it an hour or two and someone will have parsed the documents in full.-
Seems like the main thing I’ve seen is that the testimony indicated the FBI had a walk in whistle-blower from the Trump team that cooberates at least some of the dossier.
Also queue the GOP outrage that Feinstein is obstructing justice etc….-

now I see why Bannon threw Manafort under the bus about that meeting–Manafort is going down—->that Russian Oligarch is suing Manafort in court–where is Manafort going to get the money since has already put up so much to stay on home arrest

“Someone’s already been killed…” Sounds a little dramatic…

Bad day for Donald? More like a bad day for the Clinton machine that’s doing the killing. Just ask Seth Rich…Oh, wait, you can’t….

[b]’Sloppy Steve’ to Squeal? [/b]-
Sloppy Steve shaved today
my take on his actions today was to buy time and try to get a deal with Mueller given that he in the past he did not need a lawyer
his lawyer though–? conflict of interestQuote from dergon

That’s my take too. Stall with Congress until he can get in to a room with Mueller and then Steve can let him know that he knows where the bodies are buried.
Although unless there a lot we don’t know about Bannon, there is nothing that jumps out to show him having any criminality.
So open a full honesty might be good enough. Maybe Bannon wants to see what, if anything, Mueller has on him before he talks.-

Is it possible that’s he perhaps in the “smartest person in the room” scenario. So with Bannon it seemed what we heard originally was that he wanted to push his own agenda. Sort of upend the system. He couldn’t do it from within and was let go by team Trump. However, he was in a position that gives him the inside knowledge. So now he can burn it down anyway if he wanted.
-
Assuming he wants to burn it down. He might just get in there and tell Mueller the FBI has become a sh1th0le.
-
because Bannon has some inside knowledge of the FBI or is that just based on your feelings?

what did Scaram say about Bannon–he likes to suck his own

Every day it seems he’s more of a one man circus than a president. Grab your Clinton crutch if you will and use it stoke your WikiLeaky, fringey, conspiracies. However, what I said about Russian journalists is correct. Especially the Putin critics. They seem to die mysterious, and violent deaths.

Bannon subpoenaed by Mueller
And Mueller using the grand jury (so no lawyer present) … as opposed to just a sit down talk.

Its not contempt if you decline to answer a question based on advice of counsel. He is a lawyer, he should know that.-
I don’t think he is immune from contempt is he’s taking direction from the White House counsel. White House counsel isn’t his lawyer.

Sure it can be. If your counsel advises you incorrectly you can still be held in contempt.
You might have a malpractice case against your lawyer… but you’re not exempt.
