I don’t like doing this, but it needs to be done. People keep sending me this video; it is nonsense. Steve Bannon and John Solomon broadcast a conversation targeting John Thune, Tom Cotton and Todd Blanche for obstructing the release of transcripts held in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
What Solomon reports in this interview is disconnected from the process that exists. Solomon wants the transcripts of former CIA Director John Brennan released. Fine, no problem. Except Solomon apparently doesn’t understand the process to gain declassification of an equity that is not within the executive branch. The transcript is in the legislative branch.
There are separation of powers issues, equity issues and stakeholder issues that create a process that needs to be followed. This is the same process that was used to gain the Michael Atkinson transcript from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). Solomon and Joe diGenova can follow the process and succeed, just like I did. Or Solomon and diGenova can gnash their teeth, create outrage and fail. WATCH (prompted):
This nonsense is why trusting John Solomon is a fool’s errand, and the reason why I have suspected Solomon of performance theater for several years. His teaming up with Steve Bannon, well, it just tracks.
Tick-Tock… Nothing. I digress.
First, assuming they have security clearances, John Solomon and/or Joe diGenova can ask SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton to let them read the Brennan transcript in the SSCI secured compartmented intelligence facility (scif). There is nothing stopping them, or anyone else with a clearance, from reading the transcript; assuming Cotton would permit it (he would). That’s the first point.
Second, after their review they can ask the SSCI to hold a senate vote to release the legislative branch equity to the executive branch, with a classification review that might need redactions based on stakeholder equity. [Same process as the Atkinson transcript]. The Senate can then vote to release it and start the process.
I am not a defender of John Thune or Tom Cotton; the exact opposite is true. However, you don’t defeat the silo system by attacking it at the point of their greatest strength. You obtain the material by following the process and forcing compliance with due diligence [just like the Atkinson transcript].
There is a separation of powers issue. The transcript belongs to the legislative branch, not the executive branch. The executive needs to request it from the legislative. Then it needs to be reviewed by IC stakeholders (ODNI and CIA) for classification review and/or redactions. Then it is returned to the SSCI who determine how to release it – from their own committee or to the DNI for release.
In current disposition the President cannot declassify something the executive branch doesn’t have.
As to the substance of Solomon’s previous release, the “Oxferd C0mma” documents, as I said last night nothing about that release is substantively new.
FBI General Counsel James Baker testified in two sessions to the House Intelligence Committee. In the second session transcript (released by Doug Collins – READ HERE) James Baker notes the 2nd FBI investigation was planned *BEFORE* FBI Director James Comey was fired. When Comey was fired, the optimal window to open the investigation was created for Andrew McCabe.
Rosenstein agreed to the plan, and “Oxferd C0mma” was triggered on 5/16/17. The objective of the EC signed by James Baker contained spurious and obtuse evidence in text because the real goal of the FBI/DOJ was to open a Special Counsel investigation. In essence, Oxferd C0mma was the placeholder for Mueller.
The group talked about the plan before Comey was fired. Comey’s termination simply triggered the timing. All of this was known nine years ago, that’s why to CTH readers none of this is new.
Those who did the deepest dives knew the investigation that opened 5/16/17 was planned before Comey was fired, and Comey’s termination was just the trigger window of the process to deliver Mueller… which was really what “Oxferd C0mma” was about.
Additionally, James Baker -who signed the EC- testified about the process to open the second investigation. It’s in his day #2 transcript. The firing of Comey just triggered the best window for the investigation they already planned.
So, yes “Oxferd C0mma” is new to people like John Solomon, but old news for those who did the research at the time. Again, go read Baker’s testimony (link above).
You will note the Oxferd C0mma investigation was triggered on May 16, 2017:
[SOURCE]
This was the exact same day when Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to the White House.
Through a FOIA request Judicial Watch received Rod Rosenstein’s email communication around the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller [See Here]. The content further confirms when Rosenstein took Mueller to the White House on May 16th, 2017, the purpose was for Mueller to preview his target, President Trump.
Rosenstein took Mueller to visit Jeff Sessions on May 13th, the specifics of that email likely concern keeping prior private conversations out of the discussion with Sessions.
If we insert the Rosenstein email conversation into our timeline, the picture is clear.
Perhaps the most important aspect is how DAG Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to the White House on May 16th, to interview President Trump. The decision to appoint Mueller as special counsel was predetermined prior to the White House visit:
♦James Comey was fired at approximately 5:00pm EST on Tuesday May 9th, 2017. The next morning, less than 15 hours after Comey was fired, Rosenstein contacted Robert Mueller about the special counsel appointment.
During the congressional testimony of Robert Mueller, Representative Andy Biggs noted evidence of a phone call between Mueller and Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday May 10th, 2017, at 7:45am.
From the Judicial Watch FOIA release, we can see that following the 7:45am phone call Rod Rosenstein received contact info from Mueller’s asst (8:09am), and Rosenstein emailed his assistant at 8:13am with instructions to contact Mueller’s asst and set up a meeting for Friday May 12th:
Marcia Murphy, from the Office of the DAG, then followed through and set up a meeting for 8:00am, Friday May 12th at Main Justice, between Rosenstein and Mueller:
Following that May 12th 8:00am meeting with Mueller, Rod Rosenstein then met with Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe Andrew McCabe. – According to McCabe:
… “[Rosenstein] asked for my thoughts about whether we needed a special counsel to oversee the Russia case. I said I thought it would help the investigation’s credibility. Later that day, I went to see Rosenstein again. This is the gist of what I said: I feel strongly that the investigation would be best served by having a special counsel.” (link)
Later that night (May 12th), at 9:15pm Rosenstein then emails Robert Mueller: “I assume you realize the boss and his staff do not know about our discussions.”
That email is directly related to a meeting scheduled on Saturday May 13th between Rosenstein, Mueller and Jeff Sessions; which is confirmed in the Andy Biggs questioning.
♦Sunday May 14th – Comey transmitted copies of Memos 2, 4, and 6, and a partially redacted copy of Memo 7 to Patrick Fitzgerald, who was one of Comey’s personal attorneys. Fitzgerald received the email and PDF attachment from Comey at 2:27 p.m. on May 14, 2017, per the IG report.
♦Monday May 15th, McCabe states he and Rosenstein conferred again about the Special Counsel approach. McCabe: “I brought the matter up with him again after the weekend.”
On this same day was when James Rybicki called SSA Whistleblower to notify him of Comey’s memos. The memos were “stored” in a “reception area“, and in locked drawers in James Rybicki’s office.
♦Tuesday May 16th – Per the IG report: “On the morning of May 16, Comey took digital photographs of both pages of Memo 4 with his personal cell phone. Comey then sent both photographs, via text message, to Richman.
Back in Main Justice, at 12:30pm, Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Jim Crowell and Tashina Guahar all appear to be part of this meeting. I should note that alternate documentary evidence, gathered over the past two years, supports the content of this McCabe memo. Including texts between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok:
[Sidebar: pay attention to the *current* redactions; they appear to be placed by existing DOJ officials in an effort to protect Rod Rosenstein for his duplicity in: (A) running the Mueller sting operation at the white house on the same day; (B) the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel, which was predetermined before the Oval Office meeting.]
While McCabe was writing this afternoon memo, still May 16th, Rod Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to the White House for a meeting in the Oval Office with President Trump and VP Mike Pence.
After six days of phone calls, emails and in person meetings, this visit to the White House was clearly Rod Rosenstein introducing Robert Mueller to the target of the investigation. Rosenstein already knew he was going to appoint Mueller; and Mueller, along with the small group in the FBI, already knew Mueller was going to be appointed.
Later that night (May 16th), following the Mueller visit, there was a debriefing session back at Main Justice. This evening meeting appears to be Lisa Page, Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe; along with Tashina Gauhar again taking notes.
♦ Wednesday May 17th, 2017: Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe go to brief the congressional “Gang-of-Eight”: Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devin Nunes, Adam Schiff, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Richard Burr and Mark Warner.
… […] “On the afternoon of May 17, Rosenstein and I sat at the end of a long conference table in a secure room in the basement of the Capitol. We were there to brief the so-called Gang of Eight—the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. Rosenstein had, I knew, made a decision to appoint a special counsel in the Russia case.”
[…] “After reminding the committee of how the investigation began, I told them of additional steps we had taken. Then Rod took over and announced that he had appointed a special counsel to pursue the Russia investigation, and that the special counsel was Robert Mueller.” (link)
Immediately following this May 17, 2017, Go8 briefing, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein notified the public of the special counsel appointment.
According to President Trump’s Attorney John Dowd, the White House was stunned by the decision. [Link] Coincidentally, AG Jeff Sessions was in the Oval Office for unrelated business when White House counsel Don McGahn came in and informed the group.
Jeff Sessions immediately offered his resignation, and Session’s Chief-of-Staff Jody Hunt went back to the Main Justice office to ask Rosenstein what the hell was going on.

Bannon is useful for other things such as motivating people into action on various 🐂 💩legislation coming out of HoR & Senate, the precinct strategy & appointees policy mismatch with what PDJT ran on & we voted for.
He clearly entertains & platforms the porn peddlers such as Solomon also.
I find it useful to pay attention to what people do well/works & to ignore the rest. Nobody’s perfect.
Some are much closer to perfect than others… 👀 at you SD & thank you.
Blanche responds… Says Bannon and Solomon are “ill-informed”. It’s like Sundance says, there is a process.

Steve Bannon is a deep state intelligence agent and as duplicitous as Rod Rosenstein.
This declassification of equity process Sundance describes is the same exact process Sundance detailed years ago in Trump 1.0.
If we Treepers can read, get educated and understand his declassification of equity process among the branches, why the h*ll can’t the politicians in DC and there’s no excuse I’m going to believe that Solomon shouldn’t know this either. CTH is widely read, by many.
They are just spinning the drama…just like the left does…when they do this. I’m sick of all of them.
Same!
Amen!!!
No one spins the shyte like Benny Johnson. “Explosive Bombshell Meltdown Career-Ending Apocalyptic Revelations!!” YT headlines. 3/4 of his leads are premature and purely speculative, creating angst intended to make readers feel desperate for follow-ups. It’s disingenuous and manipulative.
Benny has clickbait headlines down cold… nobody better… BJ is brought to you by our greatest ally.
P.S. Wasn’t he a Christina Pushaw recruit for Sea Island Ron?
The Legislative Branch derives its classification authority from the President. John Brennan testified as an employee of the Executive Branch. The Gang of Eight are granted clearances by the Executive Branch. If the President cannot obtain and declassify that testimony, then the system no longer works.
Solomon is a buffoon, but why do Cotton or Thune have any right to withhold information the President wants released? Brennan is no whistleblower.
Pays Attention In Class:
F
Try harder. We only entertain quality trolls.
Looks like you have been successful in calling out all “trolls”. Could be the reason why so few commenters these days. Wonder if this really helps Sundance. Been here many years I’m sure I’ve been called one a few times. The air is getting a little stale around here.
I don’t know about Soloman, but I totally disagree about Bannon. He has been Maga Maga Maga from the beginning and I have never seen him waver.
r0ng
0.o
RIGHT.
Other than that time he was plotting the removal of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein?
Thought he could hijack MAGA and dispose of Trump’s influence.
I remember that he jumped on the bandwagon later in the campaign season when it was clear that Trump was the clear winner over the rest of the Republican lineup heading into the 2016 election.
Too much time to “think” in jail…..? Altered reality? Sour grapes?
and other than the time that Bannon sold the idea to many maga patriots to send him money so he could finance a border wall between the US and Mexico….raised 10’s of millions and then spent zero squat penny on even planning and organizing the wall he promised to deliver. then refused to give any of the money back.
that Bannon?
probably forgot how many people he misled? Maybe you forgot that he plead guilty of fraud in order to avoid prison. Maybe you forgot that none of the donors ever got a single dime back which he could have and still can do. But he hasn’t and probably will never. Bannon is a straight up liat and con man. Why any listens to ANYTHING he has to say at this point makes me suspicious about why they have never bothered to pay attention to what he really is.
yes, it is true…there were “times” when Bannon was very supportive of maga and President Trump. But over time, it becomes clear he was simply grifting the tension to sell bullshit so that he and his friends could steal “easy money:.
that’s an entirely different kinds of fraud in my opinion.
maybe it’s good to remind ourselves that often, more than not, we find people who seem to be one of the good guys, really has a very different agenda….and that mostly involves selling outrageous lies and schemes so they can get rich and screw people over. charlatan comes to mind.
I actually KNOW several people who donated to bannon wall con game. And I helped three of them write directly to him asking for a return of that money. Not even an acknowledgement. No public statement. No contrition. No nothing. That pretty much says it all.
not a good guy
God Bless America
🎯
He’s a bloated bloviator.
Hmm mm. I got my donation refunded.
I am surprised at your Naivete ….Braggs and James brought that case and it was purely political. If no money was returned then it is because of those two crooks. Bannon did make the mistake of saying 100% went to the goal of building the wall but surely he had a right to recoup personal expenses.
He received 1 million of the 25 million. Out of the million he paid his expenses and the majority went to the cripple vet and other organizers for their expenses. I guess if you dont like Bannon to begin with this is just as good of an excuse as any.
Bannon either plead guilty or he was going to jail in NY. I know how Braggs and James operate and can twist facts, even make up laws.
I Don’t think Bannon or those in jail would have access to the money. The money was seized by the Government Assets Forfeitures program who were to distribute back to donors. Second I think they did intend to build a portion of the wall. Bannon is not stupid enough to think he would get away with con that visible. Would he get political points probably was the goal.
I think one of us has the case of Bannon worship.
When I said I know several people who sent money and got nothing back after that entire circus, was not nieve. A good guy goes out of his way to make good on a promise, even if he can’t make it happen.
that WAS the case…
Bannon represented a fraud scheme.
let me ask you.. if you believe Bannon, why would he plead guilty in one case..and in another very similar related to a charge of fraud, he did not?
THAT informs you about the variables James and Bragg’s are it relates to the legal case.
spoiler: it was the difference between pleading to avoid prison…or fighting to keep the money
think this through.
it’s not really complicated
God Bless America
I despise Bannon.
He is kind of a sleazy, greasy looking character. I probably wouldn’t buy a used car from him!
Wrong. Ask Trump.
And Scott Bessent. And Peter Navarro.
Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
Minor hiccup🤓🥸😎
Most of his show from 2021-election 2024 was dedicated to getting Trump elected again. Consider he may have been conning Epstein to get him to talk? At a minimum Trump is his bread and butter makes no since to get him kicked out of office.
I have been a big supporter of both men but right now, I am not completely happy with either. Bannon, because he now knows the problem is too big but still the show must go on. Trump, so far is not keeping his promises.
JMO, PT has put us in jeopardy by focusing on ME. A personal Observation…the defiant bold President I saw in first term has now been replaced by a President that now carries a noticeably defeated mien. Something is terribly wrong.
Do you have a personal history working w/Bannon under Andrew’s tutelage at Breitbart?
If so, now would be a great time to share your experiences doing so, with the Treeper’s.
Bannon did go to prison, as did Peter K Navarro. Do you also hold a low regard for Navarro?
Besides, I believe some who we believe to be villains will, in the end, turn out to be patriots who were asked to play a role, and did.
Former NSA Head, Admiral Mike Rogers comes to mind, for example.
He made his way up, to the tippy top, within the Democrat machine, and I would say, played a critical role, by seeking a meeting w/President Elect DJT at Trump Tower, and showed him irrefutable proof that his SCIF was not secure, and that, “Hussein” was spying on him. I do not believe he will end up being the only one who make a 180, for good or for bad.
For now, I will hold my judgement, when it comes to those operating within the highest levels of this fight, to restore, or destroy, our Constitutional Republic.
I don’t have the clearances necessary to obtain the intelligence necessary to call balls and strikes.
Much love.
Ok…….
He went anti-MAGA when his affiliation with Epstein came out. Plus he hates the Jews, so the war has him in conniptions.
Wrong on both counts.
Was I disgusted while I read those txtas between Bannon and Epstein, absolutely!
A mere THREE MONTHS after Bannon chose to distance himself from Epstein, Epstein was arrested, and one month later, he was taken out, while awaiting trial.
Interesting timing.
If DJT reportedly chooses to speak with Bannon, and does so multiple times a week, could it be, PDJT does so, precisely because Bannon is playing a part, however imperfect they both are, are we any different?
People make mistakes. What people do after making mistakes matters much more to me, than the actual mistakes they may have made.
I am working hard to reserve judgement on characters, the likes of Bannon.
It’s only a matter of time.
As for Bannon’s supposed hatred of Jews…He has long defended Jewish people, what he, and I, do not defend, is as DJT puts it, When the Israeli PM level’s a multi-story residential building, to take out one terrorist.
Food for thought.
Been watching Bannon for years. First to go head on with the election steal 2020 and the COVID mess. But I have gotten a little frustrated with him lately. Allot of huff and puff with no real follow through.
Had a woman on from NY who went through the ballots in Mayoral election has proof that Mandami did not win. He said war room will follow through …let’s see.
The reason he highlights Solomon is to support the news RAV. Solomons show airs right after his on RAV. Without RAV success War Room won’t succeed.
Naomi Wolf.
I’m with you in all counts.
During the time I used to watch War Room I started to wonder if there was some kind of secret meaning regarding Bannon’s appearance. He would go from unwashed and disheveled to clean shaven and showered.
I haven’t watched his show in quite some time. Same for the roly poly Solomon.
Bannon’s unkempt and slovenly appearance is an indicator that he doesn’t respect his audience. It’s off puting and cringe worthy. Just like the rants he digresses into when vamping for time. I’ve stopped watching him and just wait for his interviews to appear on GETTR to in order to avoid all of the noise and get to the substance.
Binge drinking……?😉😵💫
The White House, the President and the GOP would do much better for credibility if they would GET OUT of willful deceit, cute phrasing meant to diminish understanding and ham-handed efforts to avoid admission of mistakes.
The American public (most of them) forgive earnest effort gone awry. Goofy efforts due to incomplete thinking, actions misfired, misdirected and covered up, not so much. Incompetence, not at all.
As a p.s. to WH reading this: Put a full-time high-level staffer on a daily reading and summary of TCTH as part of President Trump’s daily briefing. Don’t assume this discussion is read daily.
Yep, thanks for the reminders. Although, we know CTH was onto this 8 yrs ago and view Bannon and Solomon as grifters – on this issue.
It still bugs me that Bannon hasn’t even breached the cover of here or Promethean and the Brits.
Personally, I believe that the City of London – and all of its children called The Fed, BIS, et al – are behind the ‘elections’ of Mamdani and the Islamic freak in Michigan. And the IRGC. I have no proof other than Ciu Bono; who benefits?
Bannon only has good things to say about, The Conservative Treehouse, and Sundance, in particular.
With every uninformed/misinformed Bannon Bashing comment I read, it becomes ever more clear, that those who are determined to throw the baby out w/the bath water, have not done their due diligence on Bannon, and are missing key information, that is required to authoritatively judge Bannon. I’d hate to read your assessments of me.
I sure hope somebody who has a direct ear (SD ?) to President Trump let’s him know Solomon is nothing but an empty suit grifter. Bannon the same.
I suspect that the Prez already knows this. He’s not a good judge of character 100% of the time but he is much of the time. Reminds me of “I’m not as good as I once was but I’m good once as I ever was.”
who sang that song?
Toby Keith
I had heard it before him. Sounded a bit like Chris DeBurgh I think. Any ideas?
Why don’t I believe Bannon or Cotton or Blanche? I especially DO NOT trust Thune.
Why do Republicans always have an excuse for doing nothing?
Example, the Save Act is an 80% issue. Democrats would find a way to ram it through. Republicans make excuses.
It has occurred to me that Republicans are there as gatekeepers to say they are fighting for us to keep us from storming the gates.
“Why do Republicans always have an excuse for doing nothing?”
It could be because it serves their own purposes.
The same can be said about Dim-0-Crats.
It’s a snake pit on both sides of the aisle.
Power and money
Money and power.
Democrats are successful in advancing their evil because RINOS are their evil enablers.
Steve and John are the competitors of MSNOW and CNN. That’s why nobody knows the truth.
I don’t bother reading these stories anymore…but I will make a general comment:
It’s obvious that nothing will ever be done to these traitorous bureaucrats, so I’ve accepted that. No use getting wrapped up in any intrigue or wishful thinking that our Republic will survive the treason that has been inflicted on it.
Call me a Debbie Downer, I don’t care. Accept reality or keep believing in hopium.

Thanks once more for your sage explanation.
None of this matters in the end. DS/IC continues to dominate. No one is going to be held accountable.
The Outrage Grift = Steve Bannon and John Solomon Sell False Story Relying on Audience Naivete.
Dear Sundance: Audience Naivete is exactly why Solomon is telling the story of declassified documents that the naivete audience has not read or followed closely. Bannon is the loudspeaker who feigns disbelief and stirs up a wider audience. How do you tell an audience that a “shadow government” has been in control of our Republic for many years – You have to show them – drip, drip, drip, flood.
Even I cannot read all the documents you released today with all the tiny print, though I have read many of them over the years. I have also kept up with all the news and false stories so I can discern truth from falsehoods.
Thank you for all your work!
Cliff notes; Simple explanation of the Brennan transcript situation:
The Justice Department wants the closed-door transcript of John Brennan’s testimony. Prosecutors say it is important to their investigation.
The key fact:
The transcript is controlled by the Senate Intelligence Committee (SSCI). The full Senate has the final say on releasing it outside the committee.
What needs to happen:
The SSCI or the full Senate must formally authorize its release.Then it can go to DOJ for the grand jury (with any necessary redactions).What is happening instead:
DOJ requested it months ago.The House already turned over its related materials.Senate Leader John Thune and SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton have not moved a vote.Thune has preferred trying for unanimous consent with Democrats rather than forcing a majority vote. ( this seems sketchy as dems are never in agreement, sparking theories as to the real reason)Acting AG Todd Blanche did not issue a subpoena to compel the Senate. (possibly because he needed senate votes to get confirmed)
Result: Months of delay.
Competing claims:
Cotton says he supports sending it to the grand jury and was working on a resolution, but blames process problems with DOJ and the White House.Critics say Thune and Cotton are slow-walking it, and Blanche is not forcing the issue.Bottom line:
The SSCI controls the document. The Senate can vote to release it. They have not. Everything else is process and excuses.
Does anyone remember Sgt. Friday? In 2017-2018, his analysis of Bannon and others mentioned here was similar.
Whatever happened to him?
Solomon and Sean Vanity have been buddies for far too long to believe anything either of those dirtballs have to say.
They are part of the splitters, making sure the dems win.
At this point the media dudes and dudettes are starting to sound like comedy and we should be laughing, or not wasting time listening at all. They all have inside jokes laughing at gullible Americans.
Thank you, Sundance, for keeping and setting the record straight, over and over. I want to remember. And I want to tell my posterity what happened.
Blessings to all who join here in good faith and sincerity. Peace be with you.
I haven’t been able to tolerate ANYTHING from Soloman or Bannon for years.
Regarding classification of national security information, I did not think the legislative branch had original classification authority.
It’s been a few years (10+) for my interaction with the swamp critters (hasc, sasc, hpsci, ssci), but we (DoD) provided support to them, to include classification review if staffers felt the need to generate classified products. Similar for judicial branch.
“Solomon wants the transcripts of former CIA Director John Brennan released.”
He doesn’t!
John Solomon, who temporarily stepped aside as “Just the News” editor in chief to join the Trump Administration as an unpaid Special Government Employee (SGE) to lead a task force on government transparency, reminded the interested public yesterday, that the Senate has been letting the 2/23/26 deadline pass for months, preventing the Brennan transcripts in question from reaching prosecutors. He wasn’t calling for their declassification!
In the meantime House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) refered him to DOJ accusing the former CIA director of making false statements during a 5/12/23 “transcribed interview about the CIA’s handling of the Steele dossier and its use in the 2017 assessment”:
Why Are Thune and Cotton Blocking Brennan’s Records? – PJ Media
Did anyone read the Epstien files on Bannon.
I read them and felt sick after. Bannon was talking about helping Epstiens image and throughout they were all buddy buddy. I don’t care how that fat sloppy turd wants to spin it. That’s when I stopped watching War Room.
Well you would have missed great interviews with Scott Bessent and Peter Navarro this week.
And the lovely Naomi Wolf last week. The guests keep rolling up.
I would venture that not dissimilar to the Sea Isle Group….there is the Hamptons Group…(possibly Marthas Vineyard/Nantucket too) these are all (including Epstein and the Barrs) an NYC fraternity ….. they go WAY back……
All of these usual suspects should be watching the world go by, their vision obscured by prison bars.
I can’t believe I used to listen to three-shirts Steve as if he were an honest broker of information.
Grifters! And there are a lot of them.
Lets call them what they are, Click Bate Chasers. The more clicks the more eyeballs on their blogs websites the more money they are making. They are all on the blogosphere bandwagon anything to make a buck and anything that does not include physical work. Shooting one’s mouth off is easier than working to make something real. the internet has created a new subset of scumbags.
Thune won’t bring the vote to release and Deepstate Cotton isn’t letting them see it
Pandora’s box
Thank you, Sundance.
From France. It’s for your insights and clarifications that I carefully read your posts, which are master classes on how U.S. politics works and how its various aspects are intertwined.
Our so-called influencers—who claim to be journalists or experts on U.S. politics—should be reading your work.
I’m getting off track.
Thank you!! Much needed article. Appreciate your clear, strong voice.
Blessings to you.
So disappointed in Steve and John.. WTAF?
Then who do you recommend we turn to for daily news
Sundance, you served up a buffet of crow for Bannon and Solomon to gorge on.
Bon appetit!
Sundance is the only one that you can really trust. Most of these “influencers” are in it for the grift.
What ever happened to that Rat Rosenstein? Can’t forget about him when demanding accountability.
As usual, Sundance research is thorough and factual. Maybe someone should listen to him instead of spouting off about stuff they do not understand just to get “clicks”
I’m sure it is annoying to see John Solomon’s “performance theater” but perhaps an X reply pointing out the declassification and FOIA procedure, might be more effective. He is at least temporarily given access, and however annoying his behavior is, and how flawed his current approach is, he’s still on our side and can perhaps be of use.
I am listening to Warroom with one ear right now.
Lara Logan is on and she has been flung from her industry for speaking out on many subjects, especially on the fraud of Anthony Fauci. So, she lost her gig at 60 minutes, even after being raped in Egypt during the Arab Spring uprising, when covering the story, because she wanted to tell the truth.
She has alot to say about the mideast and she seems very good and knowledgeable about it.
So Bannon. gives her a platform. He gives many people a platform who need to get their story out. “Moms for Liberty”, Tina Peters etc.
You have to use discernment when listening to Bannon, true. He has Steve Cortes back on who defected from Trump to DeSantis during the last campaign.
He advertises for Birch Gold constantly and others . He is no different than the other news channels who propagandize us constantly, imo. Once you realize who he is, not a good friend to Trump as he insinuates, you can pick throuigh what he offers.
Thank you to Sundance for the warning on Epstein betrayal of Trump, which is quite a mistake on Bannon’s plate.
I agree……
We…..with our torches and pitchforks….. forget (conveniently/intentionally or naively) that ALL OF THIS is a FOR MONEY spectator sport…. and we have Free Will to consume and/or BELIEVE whatever we want……
One must be discerning and preferably curate what one consumes….. and many of us are consuming for different reasons….
LOONer,Bannon (AND MANY OTHERS) are pretty much “broken clocks” accurate every now & then….some, more often than not…. everyones tolerance for annoyance varies.
and at some point I decide that some are dead to me…..REGARDLESS of any value…… (Megyn & Tucker come to mind having been given more than ONE shot at redemption)
(……as though anyone might G.A.F) 😉🤷🏼
Unfortunately, Bannon’s podcast, though informative, is rife with conflicts of interest by using sponsors/advertisers as political/economic contributors and consultants. Steve Cortes’ return is a “knife in the back” to MAGA.
“You have to use discernment when listening to Bannon, true. He has Steve Cortes back on who defected from Trump to DeSantis during the last campaign.” d’accord, lindak!!
Bannon is just a turd that used to hang with Epstein. Nuff said.

This hurts my head. DC could be considered “Game of Thrones” ( too good a similarity) except for the fact that evil has penetrated the bedrock of that land for so long the Satanic hold is complete.
It seems the wrong man was given the job…
Unicorns can’t navigate a swamp. So you need snakes, rats, and alligators. These creatures WILL act upon their nature so “trust them with your life, not your money or your wife” so to speak. There is a reason Trump goes through so much staff turnover. Trump WILL make mistakes. But hope for the best and plan for the worst because this is the dirtiest of dirty business.
