White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller goes on CNN to defend Trump against allegations in Wolff book, gets combative, and then shut down by Jake Tapper.

The author is a "garbage author of a garbage book."

Ten bucks says Trump wrote that talking point himself.

And what is with the bizarre, jerky tics that this Miller guy keeps demonstrating? Is that what he does when he lies?
One of Trump's all time favorite defenses is to claim that the individual telling the truth about him could not possibly know it because he was only a low level operative. Remember George Papadopoulos?

However in this case Bannon was heavily involved in a number of key decisions made by Trump, as Tapper points out.

By the end of the interview Tapper has had enough.

Not always the biggest fan of CNN, but that was certainly worth the price of admission.

Here was Trump's response to Miller's interview.
Well I guess that audience of one was pleased with his performance. 

And here were the RNC's talking points concerning Michael Wolff's book.
If you watch any Sunday news shows today you will hear these come up, verbatim, over and over again.

    Hiring bannon was one of the first thing trump did as president elect. Then trump took the unprecedented step of elevating him to the nsc. But he wasn't important to trump. Sure.

    "The unifying theory that Donald Trump NEVER actually wanted to WIN.''That theory explains nearly everything about Trump’s disastrous tenure."
    "Why would a man run for the presidency and then run away from it? Because, while he may have coveted the glory, he never wanted the job.

    What Trump wanted was celebrity." " It’s why Trump whines about his press coverage and solicits flattery from White House visitors. It also plays a role in Trump’s infatuation with Vladimir Putin. Wolff reports that at one point last year, former Fox News boss Roger Ailes asked then–White House strategist Steve Bannon: “What has he [Trump] gotten himself into with the Russians?” Bannon replied that Trump “went to Russia and he thought he was going to meet Putin. But Putin couldn’t give a shit about him. So he’s kept trying.” "rump’s aides knew he was stupid.""rump’s aides also knew, well before he was elected, that he was insecure, petulant, and sleazy. When Ailes warned Bannon that a man being discussed for a post in the administration had “got in a fight in a hotel one night and chased some woman,” Bannon shot back:
    “If I told Trump that, he might have the job.”
    "“When you take out all the Never Trump guys who signed all those letters,” Bannon told Ailes, “it’s not a deep bench.” Standards had to be lowered. Mike Flynn, the campaign surrogate Trump was considering as his national security adviser, “is a little nutty on Iran,” Ailes warned Bannon, and “Tillerson just knows oil.” But Bannon argued that Flynn would be fine: “He just needs the RIGHT staff around him.”
    "Flynn “had been told by his friends that it had not been a good idea to take $45,000 from the Ru$$ians for a speech,” Wolff reports. But Flynn had assured his friends: “Well, it would only be a problem if we WON.”" He’s playing out the role he envisioned all along: the cheated martyr."

      " Dr Peterson contends. “But when you know what you’re doing is wrong and you go ahead and do it anyway…” Well, that’s when you find yourself in a Hieronymus Bosch torture scene of your own devising.
      “Then you fEEl precisely like you deserve to fEEl.”"
      " the cosmically bad stuff happens “when you know what you’re doing is wrong and you go ahead and do it anyway...” And this explains why the current political psychodrama feels not merely Shakespearean, but properly Biblical. I suspect the Old Testament God mightn’t be too harsh on Trump himself, moral dung-heap though he is. But as for those individuals who placed the crown upon the dung heap and then made out like it was totally normal… well, lawks a-mercy."
      "lower-grade psychological truth: it is never the mistake that gets you, but the way you handle it. Middle-aged men in particular find it almost impossible to admit that they have made a mistake. Politics – a system devised by and for middle-aged men, funnily enough – is a system all but designed to avoid admitting mistakes. Anything but that. And yet all it takes is for someone to scream the truth."

      Miller is angry 'cause he knows it and is fearful his place at the public trough is in jeopardy. Same with all those spineless senators and Representatives. Needing a script of lies? Having to stay "on script"? Mice men, every one of them.

      There are a lot of other people in the Trump administration and the Republican party who I find offensive, but the people on my special list cause a visceral reaction that just turns my stomach.

      UNLESS, of course, the corruption and criminal activities reach deeply into the line of succession and the Republican party. Trump is so vindictive that he would be thrilled to expose anyone in the GOP who dares to act against him. They've created a truly malevolent, vicious monster that will undoubtedly turn on them, destroying everything in its path in the process.

    "“North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!” Trump wrote Jan. 3, in a tweet directed at Kim following a comment the North Korean leader made about having a nuclear button to hand.

    It was a tweet that Pompeo told host Chris Wallace was “entirely consistent with what we're trying to communicate.”

    "We want the regime to understand that, unlike before, we are intent on resolving this and it is our firm conviction that resolving this diplomatically is the correct answer but that this administration is prepared to do what it takes to assure that people in Los Angeles, in Denver, in New York are not held at risk from Kim Jong Un having a nuclear weapon," Pompeo said, adding once again: “That tweet is entirely consistent with that policy.”
    "His comments come following a wave of criticism over the provocative tweet, with CNN host Jake Tapper suggesting the tweet was not the action of a stable person."
    "“With all of the failed “experts” weighing in, does anybody really believe that talks and dialogue would be going on between North and South Korea right now if I wasn’t firm, strong and willing to commit our total 'might' against the North. Fools, but talks are a good thing! ” Trump wrote" RIGHT!?

    If the President didn’t meet with any Russians, Miller could have answered no. A one-word denial would have been worked.

    By dodging the question, and going off on a rant about the book, Miller made it look like the White House has something to hide. Special Counsel Robert Mueller may already know the answer to the question of whether or not Trump met with Russians, but if he doesn’t, he now should want to talk to Stephen Miller ASAP."
