Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon won't appear before the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday, escalating a tense standoff with the panel.
Bannon was not planning on showing up ahead of a Tuesday deadline because the White House and committee haven't reached an agreement over the scope of the questioning, a source said Monday.
The House Intelligence Committee confirmed Tuesday it was giving Bannon another week to comply with its subpoena.
"The House Intelligence Committee's interview with Stephen Bannon has been postponed at the Committee's initiative until next week," Emily Hytha, spokeswoman for Rep. Mike Conaway, the Republican running the committee's Russia probe, said in a statement. "We look forward to having him before the Committee once we can assure that he will be able to thoroughly answer all our questions without concerns regarding the scope of executive privilege."
This is the third extension on this subpoena that this committee has provided to Bannon, which kind of makes them appear completely toothless right now.
It could simply be that Bannon, like most of America, simply has no respect for Devin Nunes, the chairman of that committee, because he has another date to testify that he is supposedly taking much more seriously.
Courtesy of the AP:
Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, is scheduled to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators next week as they probe possible obstruction of justice by the president.
That’s according to two people familiar with Bannon’s interview. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about details of the interview.
One of the people says Bannon plans to tell Mueller “everything” he knows.
I actually get the feeling that Bannon is eager to share what he knows with Mueller.
And we know from Michael Wolff's book that he certainly loves to talk.
FFS.

just how stupid does Trump think the military is? Or is it like in TX where you can tell the men from the boys by the size of their toys! (these are not Trump's personal toys)
Deleteplease, oh please, let this jerk talk. let him tell everything he knows. this creep is the key to cadet bone spurs secrets. let him shave and wear decent clothing. i bet he wouldn't have a problem getting a great job after he talks. revenge for Bannon!!
ReplyDeleteLove the fact you used 'cadet bone spurs' as the evil doers new nickname, 4:06 PM! I plan to do the same thing, from now on, whenever referring to our 'cadet bone spur'! Pay back will feel so good!
DeleteRecommend all of us do it, so it moves throughout the nation due to the expansiveness of this blog site. Perhaps it will catch on!
i didn't come up with the nickname. another anonymous did. i think it's perfect. so let's use it!
DeleteDon't trust Bannon.He thinks he is smarter than everyone else,he would believe he could steer an investigation with his testimony.He wants back in with Trump.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don’t trust him to do the right thing. He wants back in Trumps good graces. What better way to show his loyalty than to lie to protect corrupt cadet bone spur?
DeleteBannon will never sing like a bird.
ReplyDeleteOr, it could be because they are in cahoots w/Bannon and want him questioned by Mr. Mueller. Once he has been, they'll bring him before the committee for their questioning, where he can spill the beans as to the meeting he had with Mr. Mueller.
ReplyDeleteNo conspiracy theory here - just my thoughts/questions!

'"If we don't change it, let's have a shutdown," Trump said of the nation's immigration laws. "We'll do a shutdown and it's worth it for our country. I'd love to see a shutdown if we don't get this stuff taken care of."'

DeleteWho just saw RMS? Who doesn't think the VP hopeful who has been in contact with the Kremlin wasn't Sarah Palin? WaPo scoop.
ReplyDeleteSarah was all giddy when putin supposedly called her. She dropped what she was doing and ran to the phone. They say it was a prank. But one has to wonder, maybe the old bat colluded with a DICKtater for dingbat revenge on America, that called her a fraud and liar.

Bannon is such a handsome guy. No wonder he spends his days sucking his own cock.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when he last saw a dermatologist? I worry that he's going to die of melanoma before the whole story comes out!

Meanwhile, most of the pics on her Instagram page show Bristol and the children. The pics on Dakota's Instagram page are all Dakota -- fishing, interviewing, working out.
HMMMMM... I also seem t recall that someone mentioned that he actually has his own house somewhere. HMMM.
DeleteIs anyone still actually thinking this is not a very strange man anymore?
DeleteI watched it with the sound off. That chin!

ReplyDeleteCadet bone spurs
I love Duckworth's branding of Trump. I hope this is the one that sticks.
DeleteAnd he knows things.
ReplyDeleteWhy does he have feces on his forehead and temple area?
ReplyDeleteBannon will have so much to talk about. And I'm pretty sure he knows that if he doesn't come clean he'll be blamed for Trump's filth for the rest of his drunken life.
