    Anyone having a discussion with Trump should record the discussion because it's been proven Trump will lie about what the discussion was about.

    Treason? :dunno:

    Yeah, if Woodward didn't make it up they might be guilty of treason, certainly obstruction of justice for interfering in the legal path of proposed laws.

    The White House responded to explosive claims in Bob Woodward's new book saying the allegations are "nothing more than fabricated stories." Chief of Staff John Kelly also refuted the notion that he called President Trump an "idiot" and "this is the worst job" he's ever had.

    Key quotes: Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said, "This book is nothing more than fabricated stories, many by former disgruntled employees, told to make the President look bad." Gen. John Kelly explained, "The idea I ever called the President an idiot is not true... This is another pathetic attempt to smear people close to President Trump and distract from the administration’s many successes."

    Secretary Mattis fires back at claims in Woodward's book
    Defense Secretary James Mattis has responded to claims in Bob Woodward's newly released book saying the allegations "were never uttered by me or in my presence... the idea that I would show contempt... or tolerate disrespect to the office of the President from within our Department of Defense, is a product of someone's rich imagination."

    That part seems to be getting casually skimmed over quite a bit in the news. Seems pretty crazy to me, stealing shit off of the presidents desk to undermine policy making. I mean, maybe it was intended to be for the greater good, but so were Snowden's actions and the establishment wanted to hang him.

    If in fact , it did occur, heads would roll. Time will tell, if someone gets charged, it happened. If there are no charges, it is another half baked book in a long line of half baked books you can purchase for 3.79 in the bargain bin.

    It's clear that Woodward's voice on the boring, self-serving tape is totally mechanical, maybe a russian bot?

    He embarrasses himself by revealing how little he actually "investigated" anything, above and beyond "interviewing" fired and disgraced swamprats.

    So the jist of the book is Trump correctly and decisively fired people who stole Congressional documents and tried to obstruct the official duties of The POTUS.

    2020 is assured.

    Some time back not sure how many years, I enjoyed watching Brit Hume get pissed at Woodward on a TV panel show. Brit ripped Woodward a new posterior. Not sure he ever found a new place to use it.

    Ha! No, I knew nothing of him. He jumped to hero in one day. Since then he has been very slowly working his way down the slope. It was a pleasure to see Hume jerk his arse off the slope. Now this tripe.

    Hey, that reminds me. When Obama goes to his final reward, do you want to see the Flag flown at half mast?
