This was Steve Bannon talking--according to The Guardian's writeup of Michael Wolff's new book:
quote
“You realise where this is going,” he is quoted as saying. “This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to [screwing] Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner … It’s as plain as a hair on your face.”
Another Bannon quote, according to The Guardian's report:
quote
“They’re sitting on a beach trying to stop a Category Five.”
That is what The Guardian reports as Michael Wolff quoting Steve Bannon on Bannon's assessment of the current state of play in Trump Administration VS Mueller investigation.
Bannon alluded to the Mueller investigation as an approaching Category Five hurricane.
Here's Bannon, remarking on the highly publicized meeting at Trump Tower when Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr had some "Russians" over for a "chat":
quote
“Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad s***, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately.”
I wonder if Steve Bannon is already looking ahead to a Not So Distant future when the President's name is no longer Donald J. Trump.
Is the Big Bad (Michael) Wolff howling on the threshold of the White House door?

Serious question... because I read the article right after Matt Drudge posted it... what exactly is the article even saying?
I read the entire thing and all it's really saying is repeating comments that Steve Bannon made in a book that was released, regarding things that we ALL already know. The article talks about that meeting in Trump Tower that we all already know took place, and it doesn't actually say anything new. It just says how he thinks Mueller will approach everything.
Again, maybe I'm just not reading it thoroughly enough, but it's not actually saying anything new... just putting harsh language to it?
Prompted by the Reply, I went to the Drudge Report. At least, I thought that I was going to the Drudge Report. I ended up at Bloomberg News, Politics section.
Trump Says Bannon ‘Lost His Mind’ After Leaving White House Alex Wayne and Jennifer Jacobs, for Bloomberg News; January 3, 2018.
President Donald Trump denounced his former top strategist, Steve Bannon, on Wednesday, saying that he ‘lost his mind’ after leaving the White House last summer.
“When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind,” Trump said of Bannon in a statement the White House issued. “Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look.”
The statement represented an emphatic break from the person considered the architect of Trump’s presidential campaign. Bannon continued to enjoy access to the president after he left the White House, but that has ended, one person familiar with the matter said.
Sounds like old Steve is now your buddy? Not too long ago you derided him constantly. Personally, I never said one good word about the man. I hold true.

When will the constant "impeach Trump" banter cease from you? It is in every thread that you create? No happiness, only the barrage of "impeach Trump"? Will it ever stop? Name calling and the betrayal of definitions are the calling card of the left. Just stop it already. Quit sending shat through the mail, and the interwebs! Joy can be had, but you remove all of that from this forum.

I just reported on what he is quoted as having said of late, in the new book from Michael Wolff.
If You Like Your President, You Can Keep Your President.
At least until the end of 2018.
I won't say that I would not appreciate another Impeachment spectacle, as an observer, and as someone who has not much liking of any kind for President Trump. But President Pence? That seems very dry and colorless, indeed, after the spectacle of Trump's first year in office.
These are the "rinselberg" keys to the Game of Throne:
If the Mueller investigation ends without dropping any indictments on Jared Kushner, that has to be a good omen for the President.
If the Democrats do not gain a majority in the House from the 2018 midterm elections, that has to be a good omen for the President.
I won't say that took any great insight on my part. You could call me Captain Obvious.
Some time ago, I speculated about what I thought was the possibility that the aftermath of the Michael Flynn debacle, the firing of James Comey, and the emergence of the Mueller investigation, could result in a Double Play. Donald J. Trump, out. Mike Pence, out. And then the Presidency would go to Paul Ryan, or whoever is serving as Speaker of the House.
When I put that thought up on this forum--kind of musing about it--someone was very quick to ridicule it. I don't know. Does it seem all that ridiculously impossible now?
[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 01-03-2018).]
I hope the Entire Truth comes out. Including the truth about the Unmasking requests by Obama administration officials. Details of any FISA applications that were used by the FBI to set up any eavesdropping or wiretapping-like activities on anyone that was part of the Trump campaign organization or Trump Transition team.
I want it ALL.

Yes, yes it does seem "ridiculously impossible now".
Bannon is bad business. He has been out for some time. He is not a diva.
Post and paste repeatedly. It is a tactic that will not out wear me. I am tired of the endless **** Trump banter. It is time for my infamous second wind.

You've replied to your own post several times now, so it's obvious that you're *very* excited about this.
But I have to warn you...
Impeachment is only a trial / hearing. It has to be voted on by Congress.
Should he get "impeached," he'll go to a Congressional hearing.
Further action then needs to be voted on by Congress.
... do you really think they're going to force him out of office?
This is assuming that Trump has actually done anything wrong... and there's nothing that actually says he has. So this is pure speculation. Let's say you DID end up with Trump getting kicked out of office. Now you'd end up with Mike Pence as the president. A decidedly even MORE conservative person that Trump. Trump is a moderate, Pence is a true Conservative... that's why Trump picked him.
What do you think the reaction will be after you kick out Trump (assuming all of this plays out as you have it in your mind)...? Immediately expect Pence until 2024.
Anyway, we're really talking about unicorns and lock ness monsters here...

It's anything BUT uncommon for me to Reply several times to My Own Post. Here's the most recent example, and it has nothing to do with President Trump or any kind of politics: //www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum6/HTML/121951.html
I was surprised by the words that are being attributed to Steve Bannon, in this new book. That probably means that I have not been paying that much attention to Bannon. Especially, since he became an ex (former) Trump administration staffer.

It's kind of creepy to watch the O/P have internet orgasms so often, and so publicly. Especially when it takes so little stimulus to achieve his state of bliss......

I mean, I guess that's a good thing? And he's doing it without looking at p0rn either, so... huge plus there.
The quotations presented in the new book are attributed to Steve Bannon. Not rinselberg.
The author of the new book is Michael Wolff. Not rinselberg.
The book preview that was published today in The Guardian is credited to David Smith in Washington. Not rinselberg.
The Mueller investigation is--as of this moment, and in so far as I am informed--still a Work In Progress. I have nothing to do with it really, other than having cast my personal vote during the 2016 U.S. national election cycle for a Presidential candidate who was not named Donald J. Trump.
What is this Internet-enabled orgasms malarkey that's being put up here?
IF YOU LIKE YOUR PRESIDENT, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PRESIDENT.
For another full year, I expect--at the very least.

I see you changed the 'M'-word to something more appropriate for the PC police. Was that your idea, or did someone point that out to you. After all, this is a family friendly forum.

It's already been pretty much spelled out what would happen should Trump be booted out of office or resign. Some Democrats have already gone on record to say that they'll be going after Pence to kick him out as well. The argument is that, whatever Trump did, Pence was either an accomplice to or a beneficiary of, so he needs to go too. Some have even announced that, once both Trump and Pence have been ousted, they'll be going down the line of succession and start seeking ways to impeach Paul Ryan. The end goal seems to get rid of any politician who's either not a Democrat or a Republican who plays nice with the Democrats. Some have made it known and others are a little more subtle about it.
I doubt you really want the truth to come out. Because if you did, you would be demanding answers from Hillary Clinton and the destruction of evidence, selling nuclear weapons grade material to the Russians and even obama's quote about having more in depth discussion after the election. SOOOOOOO many things need to come out....but Trump and the Russians is a HUGE waste of time. Even the accusations of Trump and Russian contacts has no laws broken, none, nothing illegal happened. What truth needs to be revealed? I am not a "fan" of Trump, but I do support him and I think that his victory over clinton was bigger for me than any supper bowl. I look forward to 4 more years of him over the democrat liberals that have infested American Politics, and yes I am saying he will win again.

By "The whole truth" he means "The whole truth about D. Trump, supposing it leads to his impeachment, if it doesn't then never mind".
I still fail to understand how any Russian connection brakes law or is an impeachable offense. I laugh at the term " collusion" when used in context of impeachment, utterly pathetic attempt to appeal to brainwashed minds.....or is it? After all, it does work.....on them.

The way I see it, all they have to do is keep that mantra in the forefront of the American psyche for another ten months and they will achieve their goal. Like any carefully orchestrated ad campaign, people are mindlessly singing the jingle in their sleep.
It doesn't matter that neither Colgate, Geritol nor Marlboro will make you healthy, wealthy or wise.

I become more and more convinced that people will vote for and support anyone who claims to be on their side, to a falt. Meaning that if a person is (for example) Green Party, then the Green Party people will support that politician no matter how crazy they may be. America is VERY polarized. That is exactly why long time libertarians switched to a "different" party affiliation with a larger voter base. Instead of appealing to America, they switched to appeal to a larger affiliation of voters, because of polarization. They calculated that they could not win the Democrats or Republicans over into Libertarian, so they became Democrats to get their vote. Then did not even change any of their ideas, just kept on going like they are still talking to Libertarians. The voters did not even care because the Politicians (ex-libertarians) called themselves Democrats. Polarized to a falt.
