Meanwhile, there’s a circular firing squad in the West Wing, with Trump factions leaking against one another two or three times a day. Now it looks like Steve Bannon’s faction is blaming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus for throwing Flynn under the bus. Breitbart.com, Bannon’s white-nationalist headquarters, says “ GOP establishment forces inside President Donald Trump’s White House forced out ” Flynn—and is reporting that Priebus will be the next to fall. Trump adviser Roger Stone, who worked as a Nixon administration dirty trickster, likewise blames Priebus for the leaks. “ It’s very hard to fathom why this guy is the chief of staff,” Stone told Mic.com. “ He’s loyal to the status quo and he’s loyal to the big donors to the RNC—who are not the big donors to Donald Trump.” Clearly, the Trump administration is unraveling—but with partisan Republicans in charge of both the House and the Senate, no one in power is taking charge of investigating whether the problem is dysfunction, corruption, or both. The New York Times reported on Monday that House and Senate GOP leaders say they’re mostly satisfied with Trump because he’s giving them what they want in terms of cutting taxes, spending, and regulations.
