Sunday on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” when asked about Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said it was a “gossipy book” that should not be treated seriously.
Paul said, “I guess my first response this was sort of gossipy book, like Kitty Kelly book back when I was in high school, nobody really believed them. They were treated as sort of like a sitcom or treated as a television show. They weren’t treated seriously by the media.”

Thanks for sticking up for Trump, Rand!
Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. Those conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book. Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I believe to be true.
In other words, he has no idea whether it's true or not.
IMHO, those words would set him up for a lawsuit. I believe that the cease and desist order from President Trump was the first step in the lawsuit.
The book is not gossipy....it’s a clear attempt to direct the impeachment attempt to the 25th amendment. The left must be getting hysterical with fear because of all of the investigations and what is going to turn up on them. They are frantic to put a stop to it any way possible.
Who funded Wolff’s “investigation”?
Who authorized his WH visits?
I believe it’s known that Bannon sponsored Wolff, but the White House Chief of Staff is the actual gatekeeper. That would have been Reince Priebus.
Wolff’s book barely rises to the level of a Kitty Kelly book.
Why all the “head-scratcher” questions? We know right away it was Steve Bannon who let the the Wolff in the door.
I suspect that a lot of Michael’s work was done on spec, with little if any advance funding. Once he had his notes, he shopped them around and got the go-ahead to publish, expenses paid for him.
And yet the media will treat the entire book as fact.
Worse than that, he made them up. Someone could fabricate a book of complete BS and so long as it cast a bad light on The Donald, liberals would consider it gospel and the foundation for impeachment.
Never-Trumper porn.
Supermarket check out stand tabloids now coming out in hardback. How far America has fallen.
The media loves gossip it’s how they obtain their stories fiction is easier to write than facts.
The book is simply made up.
And actually the msm is not taking this pile of dung very seriously because they KNOW they dont want this imicile’s ravings tied around their neck.
