Ari Melber on Bannon: ‘He Is a Widely Respected Legal Expert ... No, He Is Not’

‘... but he is a political guy with input on the White House’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MELBER: "Trump's former adviser Steve Bannon is speaking out on this. As you know he is a widely respected legal expert -- no, he's not but he is a political guy with input on the White House. He says Cobb was a mistake, totally incompetent, in over his head, obsessed with the concept of waving executive privilege. Failed to realize there would never be could never be a special relationship with Mueller. I would say what Bannon doesn't know about the law he makes up for in what he knows about political brawling. If this is an administration that is not looking to be saved by the facts the way you would sometimes when you have an innocent client and you say I am really confident about putting all the facts out there, they are turning to a brawl, what does that view from Bannon on the brawl say to you."
