    This fall should be a fascinating time for Trump-watchers as the Woodward book is due out on September 11. As Mataconis says in this pre-review:

    "The difference between the Wolff and Omarosa books and this new Woodward tome, though, are as stark as the difference between night and day. Where Wolff is a journalist with something of a reputation for sensationalism and Omarosa is, well, Omarosa, Bob Woodward brings to this book more than forty years of a reputation for reporting on the inner workings of Washington that will lend significantly more credibility to what he reports than the previous two books offered. In addition to the fact that Woodward will apparently be able to back up his book with notes, documents recorded interviews, and other material, Woodward already has a reputation as a reporter of being someone who does not report something as fact without having multiple sources backing it up. Given this, it will be next to impossible for the Trump White House to rebut the accusations that the Woodward book makes,

    "Whether or not the book has a political impact, of course, will be a completely different question. Trump’s hardcore supporters are unlikely to change their mind based on a book, least of all one written by Bob Woodward. On the margins, though, these accusations could have a political impact that could have an impact not just on the Trump Administration but also on the fortunes of the Republican Party heading into the midterms. They could also have an impact on Democrats and their voters, who are likely to increase the pressure that Democrats are already feeling to make the midterms a referendum on the President and to promise an aggressive oversight strategy if they do regain control of the House and/or Senate in the midterm elections."​

    Should be a fun fall.

    Pre-emptive reminder that Bob Woodward tapes his interviews. He has receipts, as the kids say.

    Anonymous citation ≠ made-up sources. You can expect our resident gang of experts to totally focus on attribution rather than substance and/or journalistic professionalism.

    Cohn was “appalled” that Trump might sign the letter. “I stole it off his desk,” Cohn told an associate. “I wouldn’t let him see it. He’s never going to see that document. Got to protect the country.”
    ______

    How did Mueller get his democrat thugs into the White House to steal documents from the president?

    Well, not "back," in the case of the Bush family.

    Who could actually stab 45 figuratively in the back? Cohen, I guess. Milania? Maybe. Hannity? Or the Trump kids?

    Funny how they take their time on some things (this Woodward book) and jump into the fray otherwise.

    Whither thou, RocketsLegend? TJ? Bobby? Et al?

    They somehow defend the indefensible.

    Woodward's books about each Presidency in the past have delivered. Always a fascinating read. Comparing his works to Omarosa or Woff is an insult to Bob Woodward. I look forward to it.

    I don't find this topic all that interesting, that's why I haven't commented on it. Is there anything that is being said that you find terribly interesting or new?

    I thought that was odd too, LOL. It's like saying, "now, kids, when Joe Cheese enters an NBA game, it's not exactly the same as when James Harden enters an NBA game." O RLY? TEY R BOTH IN TEH NBAZ!

    Yes the fact that cabinet members are blatantly stating that Trump is a deranged idiot which implies that there is a slight chance that the 25th amendment might come into play which would be 24/7 worthy news.

    I really want to see the reaction of my former Marine peers who worships Trump and Mattis when Mattis is quoted as saying that Trump's mind is that of a 5th grader's .

    Is Mattis part of the swamp now?
