that ended up in Bob Woodward's bombshell book in massive White House security breach

Journalist Bob Woodward's book lays out how economic advisor took an unsigned memo to start pulling out of the deal from Trump's desk

{snip}

A letter stolen from Donald Trump's Oval Office desk by his top economic adviser to stop him from ending a trade deal with South Korea is published in full in Bob Woodward's bombshell book on the president.

"Woodward also obtained a copy of the astonishing note that President Trump wrote in the margins of a speech he was poised to deliver: 'TRADE IS BAD.' The president never uttered the words, but Woodward says the phrase is the 'truest expression' of Trump's 'protectionism, isolationism and fervent American nationalism.'":

in a glimpse of how Woodward's brain works, where a normal person will see scribbled shorthand for a trade deal is bad in the phrase 'trade is bad', Woodward invents an entirely new convoluted meaning.

But most importantly, what we have here, published in a book, is concrete evidence of espionage, being that stolen government property documents are in effect being broadcast world-wide.

"Cohn has been silent since Bob Woodward named him..."

indeed.

I had better never find out who’s pulling these shenanigans. That man or woman would’ve been better off crossing the Mafia than the Deplorable Militia.

> Cohn is said to have boasted to a colleague, ‘I stole it off his desk....I wouldn’t let him see it. He’s never going to see that document.’

Why is Gary Cohn not in jail right now?

Maybe because it never happened?

Has Gary been writing any op-ed pieces lately?

heads better roll. It was useless for Cohn to steal a memo. All it demonstrated was just how bad judgement he and those in league with him have, with little regard of how far-reaching the implications of his narcissism could become.

The admin brought South Korea to the negotiating table and has gone forward with renegotiating, and, as this apprehensive article from Korea details, we will sign that renegotiated agreement at the UN General Assembly this month. In spite of Cohn. But look at the chatter coming out of SoKo as a result of the unwarranted and undeserved negative publicity:

A lot of these “experts” have bet their own portfolios on the NWO.

I don’t trust a word he says

Remember this from the guy who trashed Bill Casey claiming to have talked to him on his death bed

Completely meaningless. Anybody can be quoted out of context. Anything written in a margin is cryptic and can’t be analyzed out of context, but the Deep State will always paint Trump in the worst light.

I could go to anybody’s desk anytime and find a doodle that I could use out of context that looks badly for them.

Jackwipes.

I am so glad the commie left continues to out itself. They were making such inroads when they worked quietly under the radar. Now, they are waking up the middle.

His creation of “deep throat” took down one president. Why not try it again? (Only this time the president has done nothing wrong.)

The left’s jealousy of President Trumps successes has reached haycion levels. They broadcast this jealousy daily and it was not enough to assuage their rage of being jilted by the electorate.Next they write books trying to make the jealousy more real, as if putting the smears in print would create an alternate universe.

Next they will raise millions of dollars and make a bizarro attempt to carve a huge smear in monolithic stone, but it still will not deny President Trumps huge successes.Creating an alternate universe is too much hard work for the whacko left, even for Hollywood.

Why? Because America knows the truth, and Americans have developed a genuine resistance to mewling, nefarious propaganda.This proves that America is still a nation of Free People with their own minds, not a mass of rats who run after the scent of ichor, as supposed by the left.

by publishing a stolen government classified document isn’t that an accessory to commit espionage or something? commercialization for profit of stolen government property? possession of stolen government property? misappropriation of stolen classified intelligence? publishing stolen government intelligence with intent to directly benefit enemies of The Republic? gotta be something we can nail his smarmy self on. We nailed Reality Winner for less. Goose gander time.

Who said he said that; did he really say that; is he stupid enough to say that to someone?

Trade is bad could easily be short for trade deal with ________ is bad. No international business person in their right mind would think that trade in general is bad.

“Anybody can be quoted out of context.”

An important truth.

It’s more pernicious than jealousy. It’s envy. A much more malicious emotion and the hallmark of the left. It’s not so much that they want and covet the power of the office of the president, they are willing to tear down and destroy anything to obtain it.

All they know is how to destroy, whether it is people, institutions, traditions or countries.

One of Bob Woodward’s neighbors (whose name is being withheld to protect his anonymity) told me Woodward likes to get drunk and stick things up his bum in the front yard.

This same very credible source reports that Woodward’s wife has threatened to leave numerous times but can’t because Woodward keeps her chained to a tree.

There, see how easy that is? Now all I need to do is get the MSM to hate Woodward enough that they’ll publish my piece without verifying that there’s any truth to it.
