Steve Bannon: I Didn’t Order Breitbart Hit on Reince Priebus
The former Breitbart News head said he was furious when the site published a nasty piece on Reince Priebus—but doth the chief strategist protest too much? Lloyd Grove 02.15.17 6:35 PM ET

President Trump’s chief strategist, former Breitbart News chairman Stephen K. Bannon, was in feverish damage control mode Wednesday over a report in the angry-populist/nationalist news site trashing White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

“Story is totally absurd,” Bannon texted The Daily Beast, adding that he “went ballistic” on Tuesday in a phone call to Breitbart’s Washington political editor, Matthew Boyle, shortly after Boyle’s story appeared, the day after Trump fired his national security adviser, retired general Michael Flynn.

Bannon’s alleged phone call, in which he reportedly gave Boyle a talking-to, was first revealed Wednesday by Axios correspondent Jonathan Swan, who wrote: “Far from Bannon orchestrating the leaks—as some have speculated—Trump’s chief strategist was furious… Bannon got Boyle on the phone and gave the Washington editor ‘both barrels,’ according to a source familiar with the conversation.”

1. And he's SOOO believeable

2. The constant in the Trumpy Administration is that lying is their common currency.

5. The long knifes are coming out already

I swear Trump's minions are jockeying for positions like Bormann, Goebbels and Goering did with Hitler.

I believe Bannon is the real power in the White House.

Dumpf is to stupid and uninterested. Bannon hands him papers to sign and tells him what his positions are I bet.

Then BLOTUS 45 can get back to watching TV/playing golf, swilling junk food and tweeting lies.

3. Monsters have taken over the WH.. I miss the smart guys and

women working for the betterment of our Planet. And, of course, getting whined at for not being perfect.

Smart is sexy.. these trolls are scary and boring at the same time

4. It was his pre-emptive strike

to pump up the sowing the discord and infighting among the staff. It's like a Darwin thing.

6. Yep

There will be nothing but lies and chaos coming out of 45's Ministry of Truth for the next 4 years, if he lasts that long.

11. Why isn't he in jail yet?

12. So, wait........he's saying he still controls Brietbart?

I thought he left that position?

Isn't this an admission that it's all smoke and mirrors?
