Trump Tower meeting with Russians 'treasonous', Bannon says in explosive book

Here is the lede plus one:

Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon has described the Trump Tower meeting between the president’s son and a group of Russians during the 2016 election campaign as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic”, according to an explosive new book seen by the Guardian.

Bannon, speaking to author Michael Wolff, warned that the investigation into alleged collusion with the Kremlin will focus on money laundering and predicted:  “They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV.”

I am dubious about this, but it is another rabbit hole that needs to be examined.
