And a lot of this really caming to came to light in the last couple of weeks, especially with michael wolff s book fire and fury, multiple occasions in the book he called trump tower meetings with donald trump jr. treasonous and a number of other accusations against members of the campaign and close confidantes to president trump that are now obviously the subject of great interest for the house intel committee and for special counsel robert mueller. so those are definitely some of the issues that they re going to want to grill bannon on to see to what extent, you know, he knew about these issues and whether or not they are treasonous as he alleges them to be. so those are the answers they re trying to get, but from what adam schiff said earlier, it doesn t sound like they got a lot of answers so far. matthew as i said earlier, gates is one of thelesser known names in this, just by lack of exposure. remind us, if you can, why he s an important player in all this.
Lot of answers so far. matthew as i said earlier, gates is one of thelesser known names in this, just by lack of exposure. remind us, if you can, why he s an important player in all this. right. he was something of a deputy to paul manafort, who we know has not yet pleaded out and is facing indictment from mueller s team. but unlike manafort, gates did not leave during the campaign. he stayed on the campaign and was there during the transition. and we know a lot went down during that transition, including those famous calls between flynn and kislyak. so gates certainly had more visibility into the later stages of the campaign than manafort or george papadopoulos had. which makes him a compelling figure. and for him to strike a deal, i think that would be bad news for
