Steve Bannon: Robert Mueller is 'An Honorable Guy,' Should Not Be Fired

In an interview with the BBC, President Donald Trump‘s former chief strategist lavished praise upon special counsel Robert Mueller — and said that he should keep his job.

“I do not think he should be fired,” Bannon said. “Bob Mueller is an honorable guy. He’s a combat marine, he’s somebody that’s served his country.”

The words from Bannon don’t exactly seem to be in lockstep with Trump’s Wednesday morning “WITCH HUNT!” Tweet.




Still, Bannon didn’t totally abandon the company line. “I don’t agree with everything on in the special counsel,” Bannon said. He added, “I do not think the president should testify, I just don’t…I think he can answer those questions in writing. I do think he ought to answer the questions.”

But since Steev-O said it, I can now comfortably agree Mueller is honorable.

Sleepless nights, be gone now!

After all, it is actually a very credible news organisation. It was also a recorded piece, and Newsnight didn't have to go with it if he were to go batshit crazy.

If you have been watching and paying attention. Trump is listening to Bannon on a regular basis.
