The chance that Don Jr. did not walk these jumos up to his father's office on the twenty-sixth floor is zero, said an astonished and derisive Bannon, not long after the meeting was revealed. The three senior guys in the campaign, an incredulous Bannon went on, thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the twenty-fifth floor-with no lawyers. They didn't have any lawyers. Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it's all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately.
In "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Bannon expresses disbelief over a pivotal meeting involving Don Jr. and a foreign government. He emphasizes that it's impossible for Don Jr. not to have personally taken the meeting attendees to his father's office, indicating a close link between the campaign and the discussed foreign involvement. Bannon's astonishment highlights the reckless nature of hosting such discussions without legal representation.
Bannon criticizes the decision to hold the meeting in Trump Tower without legal counsel, suggesting that even if the participants believed their actions were innocuous, the clear course of action should have been to report it to the FBI. His comments reflect his view that the meeting was not only misguided but potentially treasonous, underscoring the severity of the situation and the failure of the campaign's senior staff to recognize the implications of their actions.
