What's a 'collusion', anyway?"<br /><br />It seems to be that Trump and his supporters are most responsible for echoing the "collusion" through-line. They've latched onto it fast and won't let it go. Recall that supporters of Stephen Harper and the man himself were those chiefly responsible for perpetuating the "hidden agenda" theme. Maybe there's a term or word that describes this particular use of the red herring more precisely, but I'll leave it at that.John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-55879360652770444722018-01-03T14:09:38.039-05:002018-01-03T14:09:38.039-05:00These folks are cannibals, Mound.

Of course Bannon is just one of the sources used in Wolff's book although his conclusions may be the most troublesome for Team Trump.<br /><br />Since the Mueller investigation began there has been speculation about how far Trump would go to save his presidency including whether he would sacrifice Kushner, even Don Jr., to save himself. <br /><br />The cat is certainly among the pigeons now.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-59464026337712646652018-01-03T13:19:29.171-05:002018-01-03T13:19:29.171-05:00I suspect, Toby, that Bannon will turn out to be o...I suspect, Toby, that Bannon will turn out to be one of Trump's worst enemies.

Steve Bannon always has an ulterior motive. Having been booted by Trump he likely has some resentment and is taking revenge by taking pot shots from the side lines. I suspect he still wants control. What Bannon is really up to we may never know.

Its like arresting someone for murder in Afghanistan.<br /><br />What is clear is that the MSM has embaressed and destroyed all credibilty when it comes to collusion re emails. Collusion is a word they use instead of saying, leaked the emails that destroyed Hillary. That is what collusion is. They wont say that why?
