...It's been two and a half years since Steve Bannon was exiled from the Trump administration, but the former White House chief strategist is still trying to coordinate messaging for the president.
...Instead of pulling the strings from Trump Tower or the West Wing Bannon is delivering his strategic advice - now on impeachment - via podcast from a D.C. basement.
...Bannon famously was sacked from his position in the administration, Miller was blocked from even joining after it was revealed that he had gotten a subordinate pregnant during an extramarital affair on the Trump campaign, while Kassam has left two different conservative publications in the past two years.
...By contrast, Bannon thinks an extended trial with witnesses called by both sides - including former Trump national security adviser John Bolton and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney by Democrats, and former Obama CIA director John Brennan and the anonymous whistle-blower by Republicans - would "Get to the heart of it." This sort of long trial would force the "Washington apparatus" to defend itself in public, he says, and inevitably lead to "a real exoneration [for Trump] and then a vindication in November."
...Bannon contrasts his program with strident Trump defenders like Sean Hannity.
