I'm not quite sure I buy Bannon's change of heart, to sell a book? Bannon? The Bannon who would throw himself on his sword for trumpf. That Bannon? Que paso? It's really kinda of sad if you think about it...being that they were best buddies and all.

Two kinds of people will not honor confidentiality clauses. People who put the public good above their own personal welfare; and Libertarians who only understand their own personal interest.

This is one of those rare occasions when infighting between two flawed beings might do some good for the public good.

Maybe this is how the House of Cards, falls. From within.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he can hold them to anything.

Guess what ... you're no longer a private citizen running a business fiefdom, toolbag.

You're in the PEOPLES HOUSE NOW, there are LAWS about RECORD-KEEPING when it comes to everything POTUS does or says. You can't make people sign 'non-disclosures' about the shit you say and do during the course of your 'business day'. To the extent you have any 'right to privacy', it's strictly in matters that are CLEARLY personal in nature, i.e. not related to your JOB.

You can hide SOME stuff via legit Nat'l Security concerns, but you sure as shit don't have that excuse here.

Unless maybe you wanna go on record and claim that your OBVIOUS SENILITY and INCOMPETENCE needs to be hidden from The World, otherwise the USA is in imminent danger of foreign attack. You wanna go there?

If Trump had a legitimate legal case he would have gone straight to court and convinced a judge to issue an order to silence Bannon, which isn't likely because public figures like politicians have a very high bar to clear to win any case of slander or defamation.

Even if Trump had Bannon's non disclosure agreement when he worked as the chief executive officer in the campaign, that would have ended when he became president and hired Bannon as the White House Chief Strategist.

In any event the horse is out of the barn now, and Trump can't stop the release of the book and all of Bannon's juicy little tidbits about the idiot who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

are they still on the books? Didn't they provide for hanging if you mocked the Prez?
The SCOTUS would prolly find it perfectly constitutional if the repugs want to reintroduce it.

As far as any non-disclosure agreement goes, any violations of public trust on the part of an elected official and/or appointee(s) would seem to be a disqualifier for pursuing any such agreement.
