Bannon Booted from Breitbart

WASHINGTON — Stephen K. Bannon is stepping down from his post as executive chairman of Breitbart News, the company announced Tuesday.

Mr. Bannon’s departure, which was forced by a onetime financial patron, Rebekah Mercer, comes as Mr. Bannon remained unable to quell the furor over remarks attributed to him in a new book in which he questions President Trump’s mental fitness and disparages his elder son, Donald Trump Jr.

Good riddance to my Hokie classmate.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I'll bet there's much wailing & gnashing of teeth amongst the neo-Nazi white trash down at Blightfarts today.

Agreed, but was he really your classmate?

Fox news may find a way to use him into their programming, an O'Bannon Deplorables Hour, marketing hype could be "we love the uneducated".

It looks like a cross between Jonestown and when the comet Kahoutek blazed through down at Breitbarts in the comments. Those conservative snowflakes are burning their t-shirts and cancelling their subscriptions at a furious pace. A few hardcore lefties are in there giving them the business.

Yep. Virginia Tech. We started the same year ('71) and I finished in '75 and he in '76. I majored in Civil Engineering and he majored in urban planning. I took a couple of courses in that field, didn't much dig it.

Maybe he will clarify a few things that Mueller is looking at after talking to Agent Orange's lawyers. FPOTUS would.

Bannon Is Subpoenaed in Mueller’s Russia Investigation

He has been subpoenaed to testify in front of a Grand Jury and not with the Mueller and his team. Is Bannon still friends with Trump or an enemy? Target is not Bannon so this must be about Trump and only about Trump. How much does Bannon know about Trump's financial dealings? Would be interesting to find out.

Quote:
The move marked the first time Mr. Mueller is known to have used a grand jury subpoena to seek information from a member of Mr. Trump’s inner circle. The special counsel’s office has used subpoenas before to seek information on Mr. Trump’s associates and their possible ties to Russia or other foreign governments
Also it seems Bannon was interviewed by the House Unintelligent Committee. We will wait for the leaks if anything of significance came out.
