Bannon in a nutshell:

Steve Bannon being friends with Jeffrey Epstein after spending years doing his whole populist, â€œdown with the elitesâ€ bullshit is so funny.

These entire movement is just criminals, liars, and sex offenders.

While attending a Cohn "How To Crime" seminar.

Lesson 3: Implicate as many other people in your crimes as possible, especially people with wealth and/or power, by documenting their proximity to you

This is NOT to say Bannon isn't guilty of something involving Epstein, but the point is that Trump and Epstein's "techniques" for getting away with horrific things are noticeably similar, like they learned how to crime from the same source
