Sloppy Steve Bannon tells Congress he would happily answer their questions, only the White House advised him not to cooperate. Congress then issued an immediate subpoena. Not clear if he talked after that. He was with them for at least 8 hours.
A House committee issued a subpoena to the former chief White House strategist after he said the White House asked him not to answer questions about his tenure.
Was reported earlier that Bannon initially refused to meet with the Mueller team. They issued a subpoena today. Lots of speculation Bannon extracted these subpoenas on purpose, so he could legitimately claim he had no choice but to spill whatever beans he has (and I'm not claiming he's got anything damning to say).Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; January 16, 2018, 09:05 PM.

All logical points, talent. Then again he's a grifter and there's no better option for him than the petty kleptocracy he's now engaged in. Certainly more lucrative than what NBC was paying him.
Unless someone really wants that TV network.

I think he's kind of locked into running. He has remade the GOP in his image, it has become a cult of personalit that can't really be transferred on to Mile Pence.
He is also held captive by his base, pulling out of 2020 could be construed as a betrayal to them. His slavish devotion to his beloved base makes it incredibly difficult to see a standard incumbency advantage. I always thought he would do some Bill Clinton style triangulation but that has proven to be a faulty assumption.

Trumpism will crash and burn if handed over to Pence...but I don't think The Don will really care. He'll take his flock to a new media platform and allow them adulate there, while being once again free to bang porn stars/grab vag and develop Yellowstone into a resort where 1 Percenters can shoot bears with rocket launchers. Then he'll blame Failing Mike Pence for losing the 2020 election (He had much better ratings. Sad!) and tell everybody to tune into Trump TV to find out why.
If he were younger I would consider the argument that his ego might convince him to make another run, but not at 74. And definitely not if he spends two years stumbling around with a deadlocked Congress.

Kapture, even YOU could score a 30 on the MCA. It was designed for, and used to, look for mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Some of the tasks are to draw a clock face and put a specific time on it. Another is to sketch a cube. It provides little value when assessing a deranged, narcissitic meglomaniac that has difficulty conceptualizing and processing reality.
Have President Shit-For-Brains take an MMPI, a Lipace modified Bender-Gestalt, and the PCL-R for starters. We'll see how he stacks up as a "very stable genius". I bet he fails on both counts. Miserably.
Propaganda from the White House, ordering the examiner to field questions from the press. For the doc to trot out the MCA as an indication of Chump's sanity, is like using the ability to read a Dick and Jane book as a test for depth of literacy and comprehension. Bad theater designed to reassure the uninformed as well as the intellectually stunted base.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho Marx
