I'm encouraged by the Cooper/Blumenthal tweet. Anderson isn't really known for tweeting shit without basis and Blumenthal (as mentioned above) isn't one for making rash statements.

If you can stomach this, watch for miller's constant twitch as he speaks. Who sounds hysterical? Who sounds condescending? Hmm, I wonder...Hmm

First #SundayMorning of 2018 and the big buzz over #MichaelWolff's book is being eclipsed by @JakeTapper putting #StephenMiller in his place on national television.

@realDonaldTrump

Jake Tapper of Fake News CNN just got destroyed in his interview with Stephen Miller of the Trump Administration. Watch the hatred and unfairness of this CNN flunky!

Poor Stephen Miller, his own sanity collapsing under the strain. I wonder how long he thinks he will last.

There's something quite odd about Miller's eyes in that piece...........

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/01/2018 16:27

he always has dead eyes, like the alligator from the swamp that he is.

cozietoesie · 07/01/2018 16:31

Well what can I say? Maybe he's on prescribed medication.................

Gumpendorf · 07/01/2018 16:39

Miller started speaking slowly slurring his words and then he speeded up - dramatically. Neither normal and lots of Twitter speculation about meds. Still he made all the points his boss wanted him to make, so likely he'll go back to extra ice cream at the WH.

The Graham interview is interesting given our speculation yesterday.

@NatashaBertrand
Bannon has apologized for his comments about Trump Jr and others in a statement provided to @mikeallen. Says his comments about the Trump Tower meeting being treasonous "were aimed at Paul Manafort"

Statement, not interview, sorry

@AprilDRyan
Is it too late for Bannon’s apology? @realDonaldTrump is upset with him. He lost standing in the party. There are calls for him to be fired from Brietbart. Mercer’s withdrawing support. Looking as politics and DC I think it is too late!

lionheart · 07/01/2018 17:48

Does he want his place at the table or is it just a means to an end?

Miller looked stoned. Maybe he made a side trip here to Calif before the interview. Wink

I admit I skipped to the end and only watched the last few minutes. I just wanted to see Tapper zap him.
