1/8/18: The “Sloppy Steve Apology Tour” continues. Former top Trump campaign strategist Bannon now says he is sorry he criticized members of the Trump family and got quoted in a book. He says he was wrong when he said Don Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort were possibly guilty of treason when they took a June 2016 meeting with Russians.

"Sloppy Steve," as Trump now calls him. |
Bannon says Don Jr. wasn’t “unpatriotic” at all. That’s not what he meant – even if it is what he said. “Donald Trump Jr. is both a patriot and a good man,” he insisted this week. Don Jr. and Jared weren’t wrong for “forgetting” the meeting took place (See: 7/8-7/14/17.)
Don Jr. wasn’t being treasonous when he put out a false cover story about the meeting being focused on adoption.
Once it became clear he was likely to lose his Breitbart job, Bannon realized he was wrong about those two fine boys. “My comments were aimed at Paul Manafort,” he explained lamely, “a seasoned campaign professional with experience and knowledge of how the Russians operate. He should have known they are duplicitous, cunning and not our friends.”
How
could Don Jr. or Jared know you can’t trust Russians? Unless they asked pretty
much anyone in the U.S. intelligence community, or consulted a newspaper in the
last fifty years?
