He is already eyeing him for possibly being at the famous Twitler Tower meeting I think. Oh well, they will all get pardoned anyway and the GOP Congress will continue to do nothing as usual.

There's only one person who can, and did, fire Comey. Bannon can stir shit all he wants, but it won't make Trump innocent.

Seems like he took several steps downward...
