Trump has lawyers send a cease and desist letter to Bannon to stop saying mean things about Trump

[ShoelessRye]

Lawyers on behalf of President Donald Trump sent a letter Wednesday night to former White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon demanding he refrain from making disparaging comments against the president and his family.


The letter comes after excerpts from a forthcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff were made public Wednesday, causing a stir.

Trump attorney Charles J. Harder of the firm Harder Mirell & Abrams LLP, said in a statement, "This law firm represents President Donald J. Trump and Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. On behalf of our clients, legal notice was issued today to Stephen K. Bannon, that his actions of communicating with author Michael Wolff regarding an upcoming book give rise to numerous legal claims including defamation by libel and slander, and breach of his written confidentiality and non-disparagement agreement with our clients. Legal action is imminent." ​

This from a guy who accused President Obama of being wholly illegitimate because he was born in Kenya, has cute little insulting twitter nicknames for anybody he's arguing with at any moment.

Lol what a snowflake

It's funny that republicans like to refer to Dems as snowflakes, yet it's them that get jimmies rustled over name calling, flags, anthems, etc

Nobody ever could have predicted that the Trump-Bannon relationship would go sour. They both seemed like such decent and transparent people from the start.

Isn't the book already published? Is there anything Bannon can do about it at this point?

Also...

"Michael Wolff has tapes to back up quotes in his incendiary book — dozens of hours of them.

Among the sources he taped, I'm told, are Steve Bannon and former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh.

Keep reading ... words

• So that's going to make it harder for officials to deny embarrassing or revealing quotes attributed to them in "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," out Tuesday.
• In some cases, the officials thought they were talking off the record. But what are they going to do now?
• Although the White House yesterday portrayed Wolff as a poseur, he spent hours at a time in private areas of the West Wing, including the office of Reince Priebus when he was chief of staff.
• The White House says Wolff was cleared for access to the West Wing fewer than 20 times.
• Wolff, a New Yorker, stayed at the Hay Adams Hotel when he came down to D.C., and White House sources frequently crossed Lafayette Park to meet him there"

Wouldn't be surprised if this whole "Feud" is fabricated to divert attention away from something.

Not sure if Dolan is that sneaky though.

Lool been waiting for this long time. Fun time ahead. Bannon is absolutely finished as no one is siding with him. Everyone around this adminstration is in it for themselves. Which means they will all side with trump and cut bannon off. I still cant believe he went after trumps family

This is all in a book coming out now - but the quotes from Bannon are months old - from the early days of the Trump Administration when it was a turf war in the WW between the Bannon faction vs Priebus faction vs Kushner/Ivanka/Cohen NYC RINO faction.

Bannon said those things then, Trump nuked him now.

At some point you have to wonder is they were just allies out of convenience.

It seems that Trump is just a Sean Hannity Conservative that just hates Obama who's only real agenda is undoing anything he did.

Trump started talking about a wall and got cheers so he just kept going with it for more cheers along with the "Lock her up" stuff. I doubt he has any actual political beliefs. All he cares about is attention and enriching himself.

Bannon has core political belief system. And he is adamant about it.

Maybe the best thing in book.

 

[ShoelessRye]

So much more publicity for the book. Does Trump have a stake in it?

 

[ShoelessRye]

Maybe the best thing in book.

NYC 1970-1980's Socialite Scene, billioniare in the Greed is Good 80's - there is likely so much more scummy shit on this guy. Hillary was handcuffed because of Bill. Bill and Donald probably have stories about each other that lead to a M-A-D situation.

Lol Trump's lawyers are also demanding an apology for the book

I think you mean "can't" read

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Lol Trump's lawyers are also demanding an apology for the book

Trump is the type of punk ass that would sucker punch you, then call the cops after you kick his ass.

How Wolff got so much access -

After the election, I proposed to him that I come to the White House and report an inside story for later publication — journalistically, as a fly on the wall — which he seemed to misconstrue as a request for a job. No, I said. I'd like to just watch and write a book. "A book?" he responded, losing interest. "I hear a lot of people want to write books," he added, clearly not understanding why anybody would. "Do you know Ed Klein?"— author of several virulently anti-Hillary books. "Great guy. I think he should write a book about me." But sure, Trump seemed to say, knock yourself out.

And good luck denying the quotes -

​

Secret Service probably let the guy carry around a tape recorder because he was a writer and Trump personally gave him consent to write a book about the inside story of the Administration.

This is what you would call sucka stuff. How you talk about people on the regular and then try and sue someone when they do the same thing?
