*post plea where appropriate to special council R. Mueller to hurry*

Please hurry and go as fast as possible special council Robert Mueller....the sane portion of the USA population needs to be rescued from crooks in office (Executive and Legislative branch)

The country can't last much longer with this sad pathetic soap opera drama and the crooks need to be arrested ASAP.

Best tweet to put it in perspective regarding the book

Steve Bannon has a record of lying, and his primary interest is Steve Bannon.

Michael Wolff has a record of lying, and his primary interest is Michael Wolff.

Trump has a record of lying, and his only interest is Trump.

Take everything with a grain of salt...

btw: Take Michael Wolff’s book with maybe some skepticism, but some portions of the book are likely hideously true. I will make nested multiple threads and not a single specific thread on this topic other than one thread. Book doesn't deserve many multiple threads imo.

This is the magazine article with excerpts from the book. This is lengthy, but maybe worth reading.

Unsure what portions are farce and phony, but I would like to see Mueller clean the crap out of the WH premises and behind jails [federal or state...I don't care] forever.

Bannon bombshells and more: The 8 most shocking revelations from Michael Wolff's Trump book

Journalist and author Michael Wolff on Wednesday dropped several bombshells on Donald Trump in printed excerpts of his upcoming book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

The first excerpts of the book were originally leaked to The Guardian, before New York Magazine published an even more substantive portion.

The book details the intrigue, in-fighting, and all-around chaos that swirled around both Trump’s election campaign and his first year in the White House. Here are the eight most shocking revelations.

1.) Steve Bannon predicts special counsel Robert Mueller will “crack Don Jr. like an egg” over his infamous 2016 meeting with Russian officials, which Bannon also described as “treasonous.”

2.) Trump didn’t seem to know who former House Speaker John Bohener was. When former Fox boss Roger Ailes recommended Trump consider Boehner to be his chief of staff, Trump reportedly asked, “Who’s that?”

3.) First Lady Melania Trump was horrified by Trump’s win — and she cried “tears — and not of joy” on the night of her husband’s victory.

4.) Former campaign aide tried to tutor Trump in governance by teaching him about the Constitution — and failed miserably..

“I got as far as the Fourth Amendment before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head,” Nunberg explained.

5.) Trump is paranoid about germs — and he warned the White House cleaning staff to never, under any circumstances, touch his toothbrush. The president also reprimanded the cleaning staff after one of them picked up a shirt he left on the floor.

“If my shirt is on the floor, it’s because I want it on the floor,” he said, according to Wolff.

6.) 21st Century Fox boss Rupert Murdoch called Trump “a f*cking idiot” after the two had a discussion on H1-B visas. Trump drew Murdoch’s ire after he seemingly didn’t understand that helping Silicon Valley tech companies secure more of H1-B visas would be breaking his own campaign promising.

7.) Ann Coulter warned Trump against hiring his children — and then he did it anyway. “You just can’t hire your children,” Coulter told Trump during the presidential transition. Shortly afterward, he hired both daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner to key White House advisory positions.

8.) Trump didn’t want former United Nations ambassador John Bolton to be secretary of state because of his mustache. The infamously belligerent Bolton, who made a habit of angering his fellow diplomats while serving as UN ambassador under the George W. Bush administration, was not picked to run Foggy Bottom because Trump found that he didn’t “look the part” — primarily because of his big, bushy mustache.

What isn't not on the list, but should be is the sob in office ordered the former WH chief of staff Reince Preibus to go swat a housefly that was buzzing around inside the oval office and was annoying the sob. If Preibus did get the fly, he should have smashed it on top of the sob's scalp because he is a piece of garbage himself.
