lawsuits against the Admin. growing, including RICO, plus Congress investigations actually still in place.
Not bad for the first 100 days.

(8,701 posts)Steve Bannon prepared to leave Donald Trumps White House to run conservative think tank
Steve Bannons influence over Donald Trumps White House, which initially seemed almost limitless, has since plummeted. Trump removed Bannon from the National Security Council last month, and has repeatedly been kicking him out of meetings. At this point his exit from the White House wouldnt be shocking. And according to respected MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid, a plan for his exit is now in motion.
Over the weekend, reports leaked out that Jim DeMint is in the process of being ousted from conservative think tank Heritage Foundation. Reid is now reporting that, according to her Republican Party source, billionaire Rebekah Mercer a longtime friend and backer of Steve Bannon is seeking to install Bannon as the Heritage Foundations new president (link). But this doesnt appear to be a complete divorce between Trump and Bannon.
Reid says that the Trump White House is angry at the Heritage Foundation for helping to kill off its AHCA health care bill a month ago (link). Thus, installing Bannon at Heritage would serve to replace a Trump enemy with a Trump ally while also giving Bannon a soft landing to get him out of the White House. Obviously, Bannon is prepared to make the move, or Mercer wouldnt be trying to orchestrate it. But its not a done deal.
