The author describing Stephen Miller:
While working in Sessions’s Senate office, he’d single-handedly written what amounted to the definitive “anti-amnesty” handbook. It was full of statistics and messaging recommendations. 6/ #TeamOfVipers

Bannon reacting to the Press freaking out about Trump inviting Bill Clinton’s accusers to the 2nd debate:
Bannon loved it all. “Everyone who ever ran against the Clintons wanted to do this!” he exulted, a proud father of the chaos he had birthed. “But nobody had the stones!” 8/

Clinton seeing his accusers:
When Bill Clinton walked into the debate hall for the first time that evening, he saw his accusers almost immediately. It was impossible to avoid them. Bannon had made sure of that. I don’t believe I have ever witnessed a man look that shaken. 9/
