quote:

Bannon conducted hours of interviews with Epstein in his Manhattan mansion in 2019, which was previously understood to be related to media coaching for a potential appearance on 60 Minutes that aimed to rehabilitate the disgraced financier's image.

Now he is claiming the interview was intended to expose the deceased pedophile and 'destroy the very myths he created' for an upcoming documentary.

'I am a filmmaker and TV host with decades of experience interviewing controversial figures,' Bannon told the New York Times on Monday.

'That's the only lens through which these private communications should be viewed — a documentary filmmaker working, over a period of time, to secure 50 hours of interviews from a reclusive subject.'

Bannon's shocking response comes after conservatives blasted him for appearing to endorse removing Trump from office via the 25th Amendment in private text messages exchanged with Epstein.

This is what he said after the first batch of files dropped.

So we are to believe he feigned hate for Trump and removing him to get a story from JE?

His statement said his movement not Trumps ruled and Trump was transitory.

I have never understood the reverence Bannon and his rants get on this board.

It really seems like 90% of what he’s uttered post 2020 has no validity to it whatsoever. I have the same reaction now when I see him quoted on here as I do when I see Loomer quoted.

He was in bed with the Clintons. I never understood why anyone trusted him.

Why is is that "our guys" are always backhandedly "their guys" as well?

Its because the only "real" folks on the right are actually working for a living and not seeking fame and attention.

Revisionist history. Sounds like he's going the Don Lemon route.

Bannon tried to claim that 2016 campaign was his strategy. From 2 friends directly involved in the campaign, It was 100% Trump's strategy. There were small suggestions from campaign staff which Trump either jumped on or threw away almost immediately. Trump had Bannon onboard so he could get Breitbart onboard

Friend of a friend worked for Bannon. She’s more conservative than anyone I know. She said Bannon was a huge piece of shite. I trust her.

Bannon talked a very good conservative populist game.

He was also very strategic in terms of explaining rationally global events in through that lens.

It helped from a credibility standpoint that they sent him to prison for his role in the Trump WH v1.0

The problem is he was apparently playing both sides and if he intended to advance that agenda it was only to make sure it was a controlled agenda with the Epstein faction firmly in control.

I dont think anybody should be harsh about those that watched war room.There was a time when the realization hit that fox news all msm was FOS.

Neocons were seen as the cons like neoliberals.

There wasn't anywhere to go but in the wilderness on PLUTO Free TV. Some just went up to the treehouse...But damn Steve Bannon for having on "take down the CCP" and fooling a lot.

Bannon is a narcissist that played with a crucifix up and coincidence Q sayings.

What does Poso say about Bannon?

I don’t doubt that. I still think his content is accurate. His guests are pretty solid.

So, you're opinion of someone cannot change with time and actions on their part? That's your gotcha?
