There is only one line about this in Josh Green's book, "The Devil's Bargain." That book is the best source I know of, currently, on Bannon and the strategy of the radical right. Specifically it speaks to "Clinton Cash" and how Bannon craftily got the smears and lies into the New York Times.
I have seen those smears and lies perpetuated right here at Democratic Underground. That too was part of Steve Bannon's strategy, to get Democrats to perpetuate his lies and smears. This goes back before Bannon of course. Lee Atwater even apologized on his death bead for lying and smearing.
The only cure for that lying and smearing disease is to not reward it, as many people here insist on doing and get righteously indignant as they defend the fact that they proliferated Bannon's "Clinton Cash" lies. That has to stop. Period.
