The man is discredited by his own doing.

Any defense lawyer will rip his testimony apart and any prosecutor will not be able to use him as a credible witness either!

Bannon is a self made loser as he killed his own career!
Depends on how well Bannon can document whatever it is he says, doesn't it?

You're right that no one will just take him at his word.

He would have done that a long time ago if he had anything on Trump.

Until very recently, Bannon believed that Trump was his vehicle for changing things in Washington. Why would he have wanted to throw Trump under the bus?

So did that mean he wanted Trump to fail? Or he wanted Trump to win? And in either case, the government would collapse? Somehow he seemed to like being the power behind the man, pulling the strings like a puppeteer. But what his ultimate goal was, I have never completely understood.

It would see that his first big mistake was arguing with Jared Trump and the two of them calling each other names. He probably got fired for not getting along with Trump's family. Then he goes back to Briebart and is he for? or against? Trump. Mystery. But whatever he said about Trump's family and Trump himself, caught up with him again and--BAM! Gone for good.

Who knows what side he is on? Who can make any sense of the man?
To me he always seemed like a militant libertarian. I could not doubt the sincerity of his convictions even as I object to them.

However, as much as he may have wanted to tear down our governmental institutions he never wanted to hand over influence or favors to the Russians or any foreign power, as a [true] nationalist he drew the line there. And talk of a family political dynasty being set up must have made him apoplectic. I don't think Trump ever understood Bannon or the cause he stands for, he just used Bannon like a toilet seat.

Trump fired him last August 2017 and he's been "mad at Trump" ever since.
Bannon worked for Trump for 1 year..August 2016 to August 2017.

All of a sudden now, January 2018 people seem to think Bannon has something on Trump ?

well it means either they all have a deal with Mueller or they all don't have a deal with Mueller. the attorney can't keep them all if some do some don't due to the conflict.

so the question quickly becomes are they all working for Mueller?

1 year is way more than enough time. and to be fair I would think most people have assumed Bannon has dirt the whole time. nothing "sudden" about it. Sudden to YOU maybe not to the left.

of course maybe just maybe Trump is telling the truth and he is the innocent man in the eye of a storm. Or maybe trump is just a big fat liar...

Well the Dems all turn to Marc Elias and there wasn't any worry.

If you allow it for one side then you have to allow it for the other side.
