RUHLE: "Wowsers. We start with explosive new quotes from former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon from a new book by Michael Wolf just obtained by NBC News. In it Bannon seemed to confirm the legitimacy, I’m going to say that one more time, legitimacy of the Russia investigation, the same one the President has repeatedly called a witch hunt. In a section about the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, Bannon is quoted saying, 'Even if you thought that was not treasonous or unpatriotic or even bad...' — enter the curse word of your choice, but I promise you it’s a dirty one. He goes on to say, '...and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the F.B.I. immediately.' He goes on to say that investigators have paths to get to the President through his son Don, Jr., through his son-in-law Jared Kushner, or now-indicted former campaign manager Paul Manafort."
