Wait, I thought that Bannon was one of those best people Trump habitually picks with his very good brain? Turns out he's a lying sack of unhinged shit?

The Bannonites war with the Trumpkins is, imo, going to be hilarious.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

BTW, those NDAs likely run afoul of federal whistleblower laws. (Unless we are talking about bona fide classified material - but we aren't.)


ALSO - the fact that they're going after it under the umbrella of an NDA, that strongly implies that there is truth to the book. (i.e. if you disclose things that are false, there is no issue under an NDA.)

Any specificity on exactly what is false would imply that the trump team was not ready to defend the mound of other alleged comments as false, in addition. It would be disturbing to find, for example, that there were only three or four comments the administration was willing to defend itself against.

That's probably why they didn't offer any specificity in their show-suit.

Yep, and that's why the threat of legal action is largely a bluff. I seriously doubt Trump and his lawyers want to open themselves up to discovery.

Personally, I think it's bad form and quite unseemly to threaten other people with legal action of a personal nature while hiding behind the shield against being sued that the presidency appears to provide.

Please explain to me how you think this NDA runs afoul of fed whistleblower. 

NDA typically have a "any employment related info you wish to make public must be approved by our company prior to release" [paraphrase].  How does this imply a 'truth to the book'?

I don't trust Bannon .But he was a rabid fanboy even after he was fired . So this does not fit the disgruntled former employee narrative. I personally think he's just trying to distance himself from the oncoming firestorm . As for comparing impeaching Trump to killing Lincoln that's just silly .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Name me one time 45 had any good form? He's been an asshole his entire life.

Because when you work for Trump in the White House, you don't work for Trump International or Donald Trump personally. You work for the federal government, which has rules in place to protect whistleblowers.
