Bannon saw insurrection as a way to wreck Biden presidency

Did you happen to hear Tom Brady's comment when he was at the White House after the Super Bowl? He said something like, "Yes we won, even though 40% of people say that we lost".

Yeah, he can be kind of a jerk, sometimes. But he's not stupid. Still, kicking Trump in head while a guest in the WH does seem a bit oafish, doesn't it?

He made the comments as a guest of President Biden. Oafish?

Bannon was aware that no insurrection was going to save the Trump presidency. The coup, in his estimation, was necessary to wreck the new administration.

Bannon Admits Plotting Jan 6th 'To Kill Biden Presidency In The Crib'

Conservative broadcaster Steve Bannon admitted on Wednesday that he had plotted with President Donald Trump to "kill the Biden presidency in the crib" ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

"You look at January 5th, we discovered that Steve Bannon, the former White House strategist, was there at the Willard Hotel blocks from the White House with Rudy Giuliani, having an almost war-room-type meeting with other Trump allies the eve before the January 6th insurrection," Costa recently explained to MSNBC. "And Bannon had actually been in close touch with President Trump for days before January 6th. Based on our reporting, he privately told President Trump to have a reckoning on January 6th. And he said to the president, it's time to kill the Biden presidency in the crib."

Bannon seemed proud to confirm that the conversation had taken place.

"Yeah, because his legitimacy," Bannon said of Biden. "42% of the American people think that Biden did not win the presidency legitimately."

You can pardon the criminal out of the crime, but you can't pardon the crime out of the criminal.

If the reporting is accurate, it seems clear to me that the attempt at a coupe was made in the conversation between Pence and Trump.

Bannon gives conflicting answers to what he meant by "kill the presidency in the crib".

If it's true Bannon told Trump to have a reckoning a few days before January 6, then it indicates that Trump would not have been planning violence at the Capitol.

This stinks of conspiracy,collusion.

Since he ordered his followers to go and fight at the Capitol, and since they have admitted that he did order them to attack the Capitol, that's not arguable. Clearly, he intended them to do so.

It remains arguable for Trump that when Trump said "fight" he didn't mean "attack the capitol" no matter what his followers thought he meant. I also recall Trump saying openly to the proud boys "stand back and stand by" (an incriminating choice of words in hindsight).

There had to be a number of people who had planned and coordinated the attack. A point of the spear operation like what we saw would probably take at least several weeks of preparation, not days. If Bannon told Trump to "have a reckoning" a few days before January 6, that sounds like he's advising or suggesting to Trump. That seems odd to me. Why would Bannon be trying to convince Trump to get payback when preparation for the operation is well underway? Had Bannon said "We're going to have a reckoning", then that sounds like Trump is in the loop. Either way I think it's Bannon that has the ties to the militant groups that showed up there.

Good post. I am responded belatedly to your post, but I have the same issues that it appears you have with people using words like "followers" and otherwise making claim that have no basis in fact when held up against all the evidence to date. Context is important, as well as remembering that we are absolutely gifted, being made in the image of God, but we can't decipher thoughts and motives. The media can, according to most of it, but you and I?. No.

I am going to start a post on this issue which I hope you will read and enjoy.

God Bless,
