Some fresh articles on Bannon:
- DailyKos reporting on Bannon's 2014 presentation to a small conference on poverty at the Vatican
- Foreign Policy “But there is not a lot of infighting right now, because to have infighting, there needs to be a power struggle, and there is no struggle, the intelligence official said.”
- A 2015 article from Bloomberg Joshua Green
- "We're going to war in the South China Sea"
- Democrat Stephanie Murphy bill to keep Bannon off NSC
- WNYC Brian Lehrer on The Power Behind Trump
- Bannon's reading list, reporting from Johnson and Stokols of Politico
On Congressman Amash: it is a little bit hard to confirm he is a Republican. Ballotpedia says: "Although Amash was classified as voting more often with the Democratic Party according to multiple outside rankings, this stems from his tendency to vote against many Republican-sponsored bills that he views as not conservative or libertarian enough." I do note that he is not on the DCCC's list of 58 targetted Repulicans to unseat in 2018.
Note *: If Bannon is not a permanent (dejure!) member of the NSC (he's on the principals committee) then he doesn't require Senate vetting. And maybe this was the reason Amash deleted the tweet!
