TIM MILLER: Bannon: Kash Patel Will Absolutely Investigate the People Named in His Book
DONALD TRUMPāS NOMINEE FOR FBI DIRECTOR, Kash Patel, is dead serious when it comes to investigating the political enemies who he listed in his book Government Gangsters, according to Trumpās on-again-off-again adviser Steve Bannon.
āKash didnāt try to hide the football. Steve Bannon didnāt try,ā Bannon asserted, speaking in the third person during a one-on-one interview with The Bulwark following his speech to Americafest, a yearly gathering of MAGA diehards hosted by Turning Point USA.

TIM MILLER: Maybe You Can Get Tired of All the Winning?
I WAS STANDING BESIDE the step-and-repeat at James OāKeefeās annual AmFest afterparty nursing a bourbon and coke when out of the corner-of-my-eye emerged a face that was mostly familiar, minus the signature sepia blur. The face was approaching fast. Wide TV-anchor smile. Caked-on makeup. Main-character energy.
I quickly realized I was in its sights.
