Who even gives a crap what Bannon said? Seriously. I didn't hear anything from them on the laptop. I doubt what you are saying is true but since they were not the source of the laptop, it's inconceivable the FBI, DHS, CIA and others were warning the media it was Russian disinformation when in reality they all knew it was real regardless of anything Steve Bannon said.Bannon and Guo admitted they distorted and made up narratives based on the image, including manipulating images. So instead of a legit copy of the files going to legit media (Rupert Murdoch's WSJ even rejected it) a bunch of material tangential to the laptop but grossly distorted by Bannon and Guo was dumped onto the web -- hence the initial distrust.
How stupid can you be, blazers, to make such an argument?
