Wasn't Steve Bannon originally a pro-union, Kennedy Democrat and then a film producer in Hollywood?
Well, if that's your assertion, where is your evidence? Bannon was born into a pro union Democratic family. But that doesn't mean Bannon was ever a Democrat much less active in Democratic politics. Bannon was also a Wall Street banker before becoming a Hollywood film producer. Bannon produced right wing propaganda films, and that's how he got involved with Breithbart.
This is where is learned his Lenin tactics. He became a Republican, with this knowledge already in hand. He poses a problem for the Democrats because he knows most of their underhanded tricks and has been able to anticipate and extrapolate, beyond them. The more the Democrats cry foul the more they feel insecure. This is a tell they can't seem to hide.
Well, I don't see anything "Leninst" about Bannon or his tactics. I do see a lot of fascism. You can seen Bannon's fascism in his films and in his management of Brietbart.
An interesting twist to the plot, that is very telling, is President Trump asking Germany and France to participate more in their own defense.
Obama had previously asked Germany and other member NATO states to contribute 2% of GDP and they had agreed and are on target to meet their commitments. Oops.
Then we have Merkel saying that Germany can no longer fully depend on the US; for defense. This is the start of Russia's worse nightmare.
No, that's Putin's dream. He wants a fractured Europe. He wants a fractured NATO. That's why he meddled in our election.
Germany may need to do its fair share, by re-arming its own military machine. If there is a Russian connection to Trump, why is Russia having puppet Trump, re-arm two of their worse historical enemies; Hilter;Germany and Napoleon; France? This does not make any sense for a paranoid Russian puppet master to want that. Then we look elsewhere to see, who is the most against this path, and there we find the Democrats.
Germany is already doing it's share. Whether you like it or not, making Trump subservient to Putin and fracturing the allies greatly enhances Putin's power. It does make sense. That's why Putin did it.
Instead of listening to Democratic party playbook rhetoric, one needs to look in terms of reaction and results. Getting back to Steve Bannon. Since he did train originally under the Democrats, could it be he already knew this would cause the swamp things to be caught in their own net? We need to go back and reinvestigate Hillary and the Obama Administration so we can see the real Russians connections, starting with giving them uranium and the Clinton speach to the KGB bank.
Except you have no evidence Bannon ever participated in Democratic politics. Oops. If Bannon knew the swamp things would be caught, why didn't he tell Trump? Because the swamp things" are being caught....more with each passing day, e.g. Flynn, Kushner, Manafort, et al.
You folks have investigated Hillary for nearly 30 years and found nothing. What more do you want to investigate. What more can be done that hasn't already been done? You folks have investigated the Obama investigation for 8 years and found nothing. And here is the thing, you have no evidence of untoward Russian connections on the part of either Clinton or Obama.
Obama and Clinton placed sanctions on Russia. They didn't remove them. They nor their staff held secret meetings with Russian intelligence officers and bankers and then lie about those meetings or fail to disclose their meetings with Russian officials as Trump's associates have done. They didn't fire the FBI director in an attempt to supress an investigation as Trump has done.
I'd much rather have Bill Clinton give his standard speech to a Russian bank for his standard fee rather than meeting secretly with Russian intelligence officers and then lying about those meetings as Trump's associates have done.
And here is the kicker, neither Bill, Hillary, or Obama are in office. You folks need to stop using them as crutches. You need to man up, and stand on your own two feet. And has been explained to you several times now, Hillary didn't give the Russians anything. She didn't give them uranium...oops. It's those damn pesky facts again comrade.
