«Breaking News» Steve Bannon predicts 2019 will be a year full of vitriol in politics

Former White House counselor Steve Bannon predicted this year will be 'the most vitriolic year in American politics since the Civil War' because of the investigations into President Donald Trump.

Bannon cited the upcoming release of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, the investigation of Trump's businesses from the Southern District of New York attorney's office, and House Democrats' plans for probes of the administration as the reason for the forthcoming chaos.

'I think that 2019 is going to be the most vitriolic year in American politics since before the Civil War,' Bannon told CBS News in an interview that aired Sunday. 'And I include Vietnam in that. I think we're in, I think we're in for a very nasty 2019.'  

Bannon, who served as chief strategist for the Trump White House before then-chief of staff John Kelly forced him out, predicted a tough few months ahead for the president with the pressure of the investigations increasing on him and his administration.

'I think the next 90 days to four months is going to be a real meat grinder,' he said. 'I mean, the pressure on the president is coming from many different angles.' 

The president is the focus of three federal investigations: Mueller's probe of whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 election and two investigations being run out of the Southern District of New York: one focusing on the hush money payments made or arranged by then-Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen, and another examining the flow of foreign money to the Trump inaugural committee. 

Mueller is expected to wrap up his report in the coming months, Cohen is reported to be giving additional information to New York prosecutors in regards to Trump business dealings and House Democrats have opened multiple probes into the administration - not just Russian interference with the 2016 election but also the president's immigration policy security clearances for administration staff, and possible conflicts of interest.

He also predicted Democrats would 'weaponize' any and all of investigations against the president.

'I think you've already seen it from what the Democrats, some of these reports they've been dropping here without telling anybody. I think that now they control the House they can weaponize this, they could weaponize the Mueller report,' he said.

House Democrats have said they want Mueller's report to be made public. The special counsel's only obligation is to file his findings with the Justice Department, which decides what to with it from there.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Sunday vowed to subpoena the report, bring Mueller in to testify before Congress and take the Trump administration to court if the findings aren't made public.

'We are going to get to the bottom of this,' Schiff said on ABC's 'This Week.' 'We are going to share this information with the public. And if the president is serious about all his claims of exoneration, then he should welcome the publication of the report.'

Despite his predictions of a tough 2019 for Trump, Bannon, who served as chief executive of Trump's 2016 campaign, said he has 'zero' doubt the president will seek reelection.

'I happen to think now, the president is going to run again in 2020 and I think he'll win. I think he'll win bigger than he won in 2016,' Bannon said.  

Bannon did say expects President Trump will face a 2020 primary challenge from some moderate Republicans.   

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich have mulled about making such a move although there has been no official announcement.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
