Theory: Is Bannon at work here?

Background: Bannon is operating the war room to fight back the Special Prosecutor. Bannon is very formidable in the area as a political operative with many resources. Mueller is seasoned vet but has his hands tied as far as publicly saying too much.

1. Rosenstein statement yesterday was bizarre because it says "to not believe unconfirmed sources".

2. Bannon & Trump would have 2 goals by leaking Trump was under investigation for firing Comey.

a. They want to find out if Trump is really under investigation
b. The leak discredits probe if people think Mueller is "deep state" leaking to media

3. This is why we see Rosenstein coming out on Mueller behalf to protect integrity of probe

4. Problem is Trumps made this an issue bringing up Clinton and Rosenstein for suggesting he fire Comey in the first place

5. Bannon has upper hand now but Mueller has final say. The idea is to discredit the final findings especially if Trump is singled out in report

Bannon is the MVP of the Trump administration (aside from the God Emperor himself) despite the strategic blunder of the Travel Ban rollout.

ETA: I'm not against the travel ban, just the way that it was rolled out.

Do you use a whole roll of tin foil to make your hats?

Those are some serious gymnastics

Always. Bannon is the 'Nick Saban' of political strategy. Formidable force.

It's hard to say. Trump is too incompetent to get anything meaningful legislation passed during his tenure but I am sure Bannon is in his ear.

I also know that politics will be a giant clusterfrick as long as The Donald is president.

While I have no doubt that the Chief Propaganda Minister has his hands in a lot of this, some of y'all are just way over the top.
