State Dept. Email: Bob Woodward ‐ Who Just Published Anti-Trump Book ‐ Has Been FBI Asset Since 1970s
2018-09-13
[GP] Woodward paints a portrayal of the Trump White House as having a "nervous breakdown" and an "administrative coup d’etat".

The book was meant as a hit piece on President Trump and his administration. What comes across is what Trump supporters already know about Trump: He relies on his instincts, he is learning as he goes and has been beset by disloyal operatives determined to preserve the ways of Washington, D.C., and prevent him from ’draining the swamp.’

Several top Trump officials have already disputed Woodward’s facts as complete rubbish.

Never the less, Woodward is out making the rounds on the liberal media trashing President Trump and his historically successful administration.

But here is something that is not being reported. It is clear today that the top levels of the FBI and DOJ were actively working to sabotage the Trump campaign and the Trump administration. This is the largest political scandal in US history that is not being reported on by the liberal mainstream media.

Now this...

According to a State Department email from Sid Blumenthal to Hillary Clinton Bob Woodward has been an FBI asset ever since his Deep Throat days.

Well there was that unpleasantness in Dallas back in '63.


He wasn't FBI; he was a lone communist.

#9  The whole thing reminds me of the Cain Mutiny. As the attorney said at the end, if the officers had actually supported their captain he wouldn't have been driven to paranoia at the vital time when the ship was in danger.

Trump is Queeg, FBI and Democrats are the disloyal officers. Hopefully we'll have a different ending as the nation supports the commander in chief still.

#8  So "Watergate" was the first FBI coup against a president?

#7  At least Tricky Dick resigned, some say for the good of the nation and the office of the presidency. Compare Nixon to psycho/sociopaths such as Bill Clinton and Obama.

Remember that Hillary was part of the Watergate prosecution -- until she was fired for encouraging unethical and illegal tactics. Seems to me this is just her sticking with what she knows best.

#4  The so called massive sales are simply distribution inventory for retail sales. This is a game that has been played many times. The fix is in. The money is all for show to keep Woodward relevant. I am waiting to see Dan Rather resurrected at any time. This all goes on with the conservative being silenced. Just another feeble attack that will produce no effective results. Similarly as we see the polls spew disinformation. The days of media credibility are gone.

#2  Can we please make sedition a capital crime? Oh wait, you have to have an AG - FBI charge someone.

#1  What can I say: FBI has strange assets - and stranger employees.
