Bannon says he discussed how to 'kill this administration in the crib' with Trump before Jan. 6 | TheHill

gee, I hope all his lawyers collected their sizable retainers up front.
Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon admitted on his podcast that he told President Trump to "kill this administration in the crib early on" ahead of the Biden presidency and the Jan. 6 insurrection.
"We said and told President Trump. 'you need to kill this administration in the crib early on just by its own incompetence and its illegitimacy,'" Bannon said on Wednesday's episode of his podcast.
"It killed itself," Bannon continued. "Just let this go with what this illegitimate regime is doing. It killed itself. We told you from the very beginning. Just expose it. Just expose it. Never back down. Never give up. This thing will implode."
Bannon's comments follow reporting from the new book "Peril," by Watergate journalist Bob Woodward and The Washington Post's Robert Costa, in which Bannon expresses similar sentiment to then-President Trump ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
"He's also someone who we realized was talking to President Trump in the final days of the Trump presidency," Costa said on MSNBC, speaking of Bannon. "Talking to President Trump even on Jan. 5, the eve of the insurrection and saying to president Trump, based on our reporting, to kill the Biden presidency in the crib."
Bannon is not among the many defendants in a lawsuit filed by Capitol Police against individuals they believe are responsible for the riot and the election lies that caused it. However, other Trump confidants such as Roger Stone — and Trump himself — are.

How someone with a Nixon tat on his back avoids prison for as long as stone has is a genuine mystery.
Scorched Earth policy against ones own country.... Treason is what it is.
Bannon, another traitor and POS.
Doesn't he have to stand trial on some con job that he was involved in a couple of years ago?
lucky for him he already looks like someone holding a sign at the bottom of an exit ramp...
I know he was involved in some build the wall scam. I thought donald pardoned him.
He got a Trump pardon, but I don't think he can stay out of trouble for long so he probably has lots of prosecutions in his future.
