Bannon likes Mueller's "pit bull"

Sources who've spoken to Steve Bannon tell me they're perplexed by his apparent fixation on Andrew Weissmann — the Russia investigation prosecutor described as Robert Mueller's "pit bull."

The intrigue: What's raised the eyebrows of some who've heard Bannon hold court about Weissmann is that he refers to him only positively and with great admiration.

"He obsesses on Weissmann in a positive way, labeling him a 'killer' which is his [Bannon's] highest form of compliment," said one source who's spoken to Bannon about the prosecutor.

"He [Bannon] would give the impression he had an inside knowledge of what was going with the [Mueller] investigation," the source added.

[...]

[Michael] Wolff [...] quotes Bannon saying this of Mueller hiring Weissmann: "You've got the LeBron James of money laundering investigations on you, Jarvanka."

I'd say there's a good possibility Bannon has been cooperating with Mueller for a good while.

Sources who've spoken to Bannon about the Mueller probe say he's telling everyone that Mueller's team hasn't contacted him and that he's told them nothing.

HIGHLY unlikely.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
