Steve Bannon says Trump's Thursday night speech must be a "predicate" for a "national security emergency executive order" on elections

According to Bannon:

“It’s too late for SAVE America already. John Thune and the Senate, you know, taking orders from Mitch McConnell, treat President Trump as a lame duck. They have no intention of bringing SAVE America, and if they had any intention it would be too late. What they’re talking about is maybe in September, when we get back from the August recess, we’ll debate it.

“What happens Thursday night has to be looked at as a predicate — a predicate for immediate action. That immediate action would manifest itself in a national security emergency executive order. Executive order that took all of SAVE America plus plus plus plus, put it into a executive order, and then president signs it, and guess what? It’s then executed to make sure that we have free and fair elections with no foreign interference in our intelligence services, the deep state running the deal. End of story. Period.”
