Steve Bannon is, among other things, calling the president’s son “treasonous.”
President Trump says his former top adviser has “lost his mind."
Paul Manafort is suing Bob Mueller.
Bill and Hillary Clinton’s home in Chappaqua is on fire.
It’s only the third day of 2018.

Steve Bannon has a record of lying, and his primary interest is Steve Bannon.
Michael Wolff has a record of lying, and his primary interest is Michael Wolff.
Trump has a record of lying, and his only interest is Trump.
Take everything with a grain of salt…

Trump's take-down of Bannon overlooks the fact that, as president, he cooperated with Wolff and encouraged WH staff to be sources for his book, per Wolff's sourcing note.

“You realize where this is going. This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose Andrew Weissmann first & he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner … It’s as plain as a hair on your face.” Steve Bannon

One thing should be, and evidently is, perfectly clear to Donald Trump after today: either Steve Bannon has already cut a deal with Bob Mueller, or he is—and with *great* enthusiasm—100% ready to do so.
The only question now is whether Mueller asks him—or *already* asked him. pic.twitter.com/8Zd1Byl9zu
