But that doesn't change the fact that it is their ONLYoption. AND it's a slam-dunk one. She would turn it around. If Dylan is coming out to speak publicly, Soon-Yialso has to. If Dylan is allowed to be the center of this story, Woody is cooked. If Soon-Yi claims it—and she isactually the center of the story—everything shifts and they can make it their own.On Thu, Jan 18, 2018 at 9:37 AM, jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:not intellectually capable. . and frankly -unwiling. my shrink says........On Thu, Jan 18, 2018 at 9:32 AM, Michael Wolff MIMMIIIMIIIMIM> wrote:He has to turn this into a love story with Soon-Yi.

I can't see why at this point he wouldn't want to use his world-stage stature to make anargument for it and to claim leadership of it. What does he have to lose? What else is there, except tosuck up to Trump, and get the chance to be manhandled by him again?On Thu, Jan 18, 2018 at 8:54 AM, jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:HOUSE OVERSIGHT 030777Great.I m thrilled for you.

Apparently thing of the past--for now (excepting among a small circle of journalists). IraRosen, a 60 Minutes producer and a friend of Bannon's, came with a message from SB: "You ownme a few million." Rosen also says he believes SB now weighing the strategy of making a formaland public break with Trump. I can't get together today because I have to leave for DC at 11AM tospeak to 800 book buyers (not to mention pre-signing 800 books). Then tomorrow AM to LA to doBill Maher show.
