heidi, one thing i m trying to figure out from bannon s standpoint, was he sitting down with michael wolff, aware that he was going to come to the end of his alliance with trump, that he wanted a big dramatic break, or was he shooting his mouth off and as surprised to find this all in prinlt lot looking like looks? that is the big question. we don t know when these comments were made and what the context was. steve bannon left in august. but this book has been in the works for many, many months. so was it payback, as well? we don t know. we do know that he s had tensions from the beginning, though, with the trump children, with jared, with ivanka. and maybe he did overstep a bit here and essentially implicating the president as well, unintentionally, implicate the president as knowing about that trump tower meeting. so i think the timing is important, because bannon has
where people are commemorated who have lost their lives, and talked about crowd size. there s a lot that president obama did, president bush did, many presidents before them, that was never publicized and never talked about. and he made this about himself. general kelly, i think is the one who unfortunately, unintentionally or not is caught in the cross fire here a bit. because he has become a very credible spokesperson for the white house, coming out and speaking at the podium. what he did on thursday, the first half of his speech was. referee: the second half we now is full of misinformation and was full of racial overtones s that general kelly who is the chief of staff of president trump, i think it is, but they have made it about themselves and not in a positive way. amen. i don t know what to follow that. but the fact is, you can say
and here for the inside scoop, axios jonathan swan and michele. jonathan, these notes that will be a road map are already a road map for robert mueller. i was talking to one of sean s colleagues that worked with him in the white house said he probably has the most detailed account history of both the trump white house and the campaign going all the way back to august. he was incredibly detailed notetaker, filled notebook after notebook after notebook. a lot of people in there didn t take notes for the reasons you would expect. the fact is the press secretary does take notes because he has to brief afterwards, so whether or not he was preparing for a book to be released later or giving a road map to special investigators, unintentionally. in some ways it could be
as this elite target, this elise force that was not out there for anybody but themselves and their own special interests and not out for the american public and by undercutting us, he took away all of the ability to hold him up to facts, to hold him accountable for what he said because he made us people who were never telling the truth. unintentionally, gabe, he didn t make us a pac. he s basically saying there are good people and bad people. he didn t accuse the press, going back to joe mccarthy was mentioned by hugh, he didn t go to the jackal pack, what do you make of his tactics generally? today especially was fascinating because it was a divide-and-conquer strategy. i was at the press conference this morning and by singling out zzfe and cnn he tried to play to the other members of the press corps and it was effective and i thought by donald trump standards he was calm, confident, jocular, mixing it up with reporters and fundamentally he did not answer the substantive questions
away all of the ability to hold him up to facts, to hold him accountable for what he said because he made us people who were never telling the truth. unintentionally, he didn t make us a pack. he basically is saying there are good people and bad people. he didn t accuse the whole press. going back to joe mccarthy. he didn t go to the jackle pack. he didn t do that. what do you make of his tactics generally? today was interesting because it was a divide and conquer strategy. by singling out buzzfeed and cnn, he tried to play to other members of press core, and it was effective. i thought he was calm, confident, he was mixing it up with reporters and he did not answer the substantive questions about his finances and conflicts of interests. from trump s standpoint today was a total victory. let me start with the other people. hugh and andrew, did trump win today in this battle between him
