So does anyone believe Woodward made it all up?

[Kingofalldems]

I bet he has tapes.

Trump claims it's all lies.

Breitbart said so!!

1. I believe it is 99.8% factual

0.2% is hyberbole introduced by the people he interviewed in describing the Rump.

[Hekate]

2. He has tapes and he has transcripts. Woodward has no need to make things up.

[NightWatcher]

3. The same people who believe Hillary ran a sex ring in a basement of a building w no basement

trump talks exclusively to his base via tweets and fox and that base will deny all reality.

4. Mattis is a lapdog

He barks whatever his master wants him to.

[Totally Tunsie]

5. Oh, Woodward has tapes...

lots and lots of tapes. From what I'm hearing in all these TV interviews. tapes are his trademark. Tape the person speaking; tape the person spoken to; tape any witnesses in the room. He has tapes all right.

Personally, I'm finding the title interesting. It's "Fear: Trump in the White House", but you can leave out the colon and it reads as correctly, if not more so..."Fear Trump in the White House". This will be a bestie, for sure.

6. He DOES have tapes.

He said so himself and so have everyone else on the news today. Carl Bernstein said that is how he works. It is all legit and documented. The moron can NOT attack tapes! Proof and evidence all on tapes...seems like Watergate, only far worse.

[tblue37]

13. The moron still does attack tapes. He now claims the Access Holly tapes are not really him,

even as he claims it was illegal to tape him and leak the tapes.

[Wawannabe]

14. Yet

During the campaign he called his comments locker room talk and never denied.

[tblue37]

15. And since he claims the network illegally taped him and leaked the Access Hollywood tape, it is

self-contradictory to claim it isn't him on the tape. Yet he has done so. My point is that even incontrovertible evidence like tapes--or like his earlier admission and locker room talk claim--doesn't prevent him from denying what happened.

[BigmanPigman]

18. That's because he is a malignant narcissist, a sociopath and

a pathological liar. The only ones who believe his bullshit about that Access Hollywood tape still are the cult which is 35% of the population. Even all of his GOP supporters don't buy that ridiculous garbage anymore, it's only his kool-aid drinking base that does.

7. No, I don't believe he made it all up

I always thought of Woodward as Republican-leaning. I also think he has tapes and lots of backup with detailed notes.

Since I suspected things were this bad in the WH, I don't find the book unreasonable at all. I doubt I'll buy it, too depressing.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Woodward is known as a meticulous journalist who doesn't make stuff up.

[HumblePi]

9. Did Bob Woodward lie?

I seriously doubt that Bob Woodward would blatantly lie about statements that he said came from Kelly, Cohn, Dowd, Mattis and who knows whoever else. Bob Woodward doesn't need to destroy his sterling reputation at this stage of his life. Trump has already posted two tweets with links to two website articles that debunk and deny these allegations. One article came from Breitbart and the other from the Daily Caller which is an extremely right-leaning conservative site.

29. welcome to DU

[NanceGreggs]

10. The people who think Woodward "made it all up" ...

... are the same people who believe Trump has never told a lie.

[Freethinker65]

11. No critical thinker could believe Woodward made it all up.

[ooky]

12. Trump saying its lies makes it even more believable

Even though I already trust Woodward.

[BootinUp]

25. Trump is going off the rails, Welcome to Crazytown!

[CatMor]

16. Woodward doesn't make things up period.

[oberliner]

22. Have you read "The Agenda" ?

17. Excerpts from the Washington Post

"The usual pushback to unflattering books, one White House official said, is to discredit the author — a tactic the White House deployed with mixed success following the publication of Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” and Manigault Newman’s “Unhinged.” But that playbook is unlikely to work with Woodward, a veteran chronicler of presidencies and a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, the official added.

Conway, for instance, told others in the White House before Tuesday that Woodward was credible and that his book could be damaging.

A number of current and former White House aides said the book’s depiction rang true, even if they were not sure of every detail. “I’m not sure why everyone is acting so shocked,” one former senior administration official said.

Ari Fleischer, a White House press secretary under President George W. Bush, defended Woodward in a tweet, saying that as someone who has been on the “receiving end” of one of Woodward’s books, and not always favorably, he had no reason to doubt the journalist’s reporting and methods.

“Never once — never — did I think Woodward made it up,” Fleischer wrote. “Anonymous sources have looser lips and may take liberties. But Woodward always plays [it] straight.”

[Gothmog]

19. Is breitbart still around?

Does anyone pay attention to this silly publication?

[JHB]

21. Still around, still foaming, still vandalizing public discourse.

[Gothmog]

23. Without Bannon, does anyone listen to this site?

[JHB]

24. His foam-club, who then push stories into the rest of conservative media

[MFM008]

20. Yeah...

Just like that "fabricated" Watergate thingy.....

[FakeNoose]

26. I believe Woodward gives credence to Michael Wolff and others

Woodward is certainly not the first, but he's maybe got the best street-cred.

A lot of people scoffed at Wolff's book "Fire and Fury" that came out in January, but the evidence of Trump's craziness has just piled up since then.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. His credibility was established I think w/ the Watergate stuff...and he has history of ...

dealing w/ rogue administrations calling him out (Nixon's, and now rump) after he's written stuff (Woodward)...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

28. Expect heads to roll...Matis, Kelly, and those in the WH on recorded tapes.....

Who supllied Bob Woodward information of the chaotic White House.

Robert Mueller is quietly lurking in the shadows.

[bdamomma]

30. the only head

I would like to see roll as you commented would be trump's. And Mueller is diligent in his work.
