Why do we think Bannon might be going?

[Hamlette]

been on vacation and may have missed something. I read that the mooch just today was talking about him needing to go (without saying it) and hinting he might be the leaker but I saw some hints on here yesterday about it.

While I'd be thrilled for him to go, where is the talk coming from?

[Chemisse]

1. There was some suggestion that he could be the source of the leaks.

Also, Trump is upset Bannon got equal billing in a book.

3. thank you

2. Everything with Trump comes down to sycophantic loyalty.

Bannon must have slighted him.

4. Isn't he the crucial Mercer connection? I read months back he was mad and wanted to split,

but that the Mercers told him, NYET! Stay, boy, stay!

Who knows...

6. Him and KAC...

5. Has been going on for months...rumors of an exit

9. He can't fire him, he knows too much. He may exile him by reducing contact.

10. He's the one person not in NJ

everyone else is there

[grantcart]

12. And he is one of the few people that Trump has a grudge with but isn't a subject to tweets.

I think he is putting him on ice but isn't going to fire him. Bannon is probably too smart to have actually committed an illegal act but smart enough to have recorded the actions of others.

7. He's kind of a volatile guy. If T lets him go,

will he spill the beans?

[shanny]

8. Dunno about spilling any beans,

but a bad enemy methinks. That goes double for the Mercers.

[Hamlette]

11. seems T would have to clear it with the Mercers first.

Monsters that they are.
