Bannon: Trump's Decision to Fire Comey was Biggest Political Mistake in Modern History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon says Trump's decision
to fire FBI Director James Comey was the biggest political mistake in
modern history. Bannon, now the chair of the far-right-wing Breitbart
Media, made the comments while speaking with Charlie Rose of "60
Minutes."

Charlie Rose: "Someone said to me that you described the firing of James
Comey-you're a student of history-as the biggest mistake in political
history."

Stephen Bannon: "That would be probably-that'd probably be too bombastic
even for me, but maybe modern political history."

This clip didn't actually appear in the "60 Minutes" piece. They posted
it online Sunday night.
