This has guilty written all over it or am I being uncharitable?

No I think you're being naive.

How can it have guilty all over it when no charges of any kind link back to the Russian probe in the U.S Election?

Just this seen this summary of news so far....

Steve Bannon is, among other things, calling the president’s son “treasonous.”

President Trump says his former top adviser has “lost his mind."

Paul Manafort is suing Bob Mueller.

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s home in Chappaqua was on fire.

It’s only the third day of 2018.

There is no issue with other crimes surfacing during investigations as far as I am aware. Anyone in America can sue someone, if it gets anywhere is a different matter.

Anyway this book sounds interesting. Hopefully Bannon is out of camp Trump but you wonder if this is part of the show.

I am bit skeptical of this Bannon story, reading between the lines, those familiar with Michael Wolff, the author of this book, say he is a serial fabricator.

Whether true or not, it doesn't remove what Trump now thinks of him, (Bannon), given his statement on the book.

Ouch... Don Jnr is on the Offense...

Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr 6 minutes ago

Steve had the honor of working in the White House & serving the country. Unfortunately, he squandered that privilege & turned that opportunity into a nightmare of backstabbing, harassing, leaking, lying & undermining the President. Steve is not a strategist, he is an opportunist

A provocateur and media polemicist, Wolff has a penchant for stirring up an argument and pushing the facts as far as they’ll go, and sometimes further than they can tolerate, according to his critics. He has been accused of not just re-creating scenes in his books and columns, but of creating them wholesale.

Tony Blair has denied he warned Donald Trump‘s aides British spies may have had them under surveillance during the 2016 election.
The former Prime Minister’s team called the claim “a complete fabrication” after it was published in a tell-all book by US author Michael Wolff...

The allegation was first reported by The Times. A Blair spokeswoman told The Independent: “The allegations printed in The Times are categorically absurd. They are a complete fabrication, have no basis in reality and are simply untrue.”

Mmm good article. You could hope (as is standard for reporters interviewing people) he kept tapes of his interviews. Bannon isn't denying it and the White House is reaction as if the Bannon stuff is true but it does seem a bit iffy. Especially this part:

Even Wolff’s anecdote about Trump being unaware of who Boehner was last year seems a bit suspect. The reason? Trump had tweeted about Boehner multiple times since 2011. In September 2015, for example, Trump tweeted this: “Wacky @glennbeck who always seems to be crying (worse than Boehner) speaks badly of me only because I refuse to do his show — a real nut job!”

Well so far this book claims Tony Blair met with Kushner, Presidents son-in-law and told him the U.K. spied on Trump, a claim the office of the former Prime Minister has categorically denied tonight.

Wolff does have tapes: https://www.axios.com/how-michael-wo...522360813.html

Still skeptical, I mean Bannon is hardly a reliable source himself, being associated with breitbart.

Well, he was also part of the Trump Campaign and Adminstration for over a year, first as the Campaign CEO, then as the Trump Administration Chief Strategist, so someone must have thought he was reliable.

The book will certainly makes Trump's fake news awards even more interesting!

Up to a point and then he was fired. Bannon was confronted on a radio show last night about the book. Bannon just replied, 'That he still considers the President a great man.' - This despite Trump throwing out a scathing public statement on Bannon.

It's not so much any 'info' he claims to have but the fact he is lashing out at all that's interesting I think.
