Even as he was bottoming out, Bannon spied the next upturn. On April 6, the New York Times published a story revealing that Kushner had omitted meetings with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Sergey Gorkov, the head of Vnesheconombank, the state-owned (and Putin-aligned) Russian development bank, when he applied for top-secret security clearance. Those meetings, Bannon told White House allies at the time, were certain to become a problem.Y'know, I was wondering earlier today if some of these collusion revelations weren't being made public as part of internecine war -- whether it was Bannon v. Kushner or some other one -- and this just got me wondering all the more. It would be perfectly fitting if the Assmouth administration's shortsighted internal bickering proved its undoing.

If this admin all falls apart, Bannon could make a career in commercials pushing super sized Depends that prevent leaking.

Well, consider the source. Cuccinelli is hardly a good judge - or example - of character.
