Mindfulness:happy new year hope you are enjoying the new bestselling most downloaded book. it is everywhere https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/06/jack-shafer-swamp-diary-trump-bannon-216252 some awe inspiring excerpts In the Wolff book, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon characterizes the now-famous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort took with a gang of sketchy Russians with language that not even the stoutest Trump haters have uncorked. “The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor with no lawyers,” Bannon is quoted. “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.” [Emphasis added.] This slam, consistent with the Trump cluelessness that’s evoked again and again in Fire and Fury, shocks doubly because it implies that Bannon, who joined the campaign late (August 2016) and has yet to be snagged in the general dragnet, seems to have a deeper understanding of the hazards facing Trump than Trump does. The money trail is the prize the investigators seek, Wolff reports from Bannon’s lips. “This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy,” Bannon said. “Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr., and Jared Kushner. ... It goes through Deutsche Bank and all the Kushner shit. The Kushner shit is greasy. They’re going to go right through that.” But back to Russian meddling: The Times ran a piece last weekend that establishes that Trump isn’t the dumbest person caught up in the investigation. It’s former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos. According to the Times, in May 2016, the “Coffee Boy” bragged to a top Australian diplomat in a London bar that Moscow had assembled dirt on Hillary Clinton—thousands of stolen emails existed that the Russians might put to work to embarrass her campaign. The Australians forwarded the information to the FBI, which launched a July 2016 counterintelligence probe into Russian election meddling that moves the origin of Trump investigations to its earliest point. |
