Bob Woodward: Trump's aides stole his papers 'to protect the country'
CNN ^ | 9/4/2018 | Jeremy Herb, Jamie Gangel and Dan Merica,

Posted on 09/04/2018 9:02:12 AM PDT by Signalman

President Donald Trump's closest aides have taken extraordinary measures in the White House to try to stop what they saw as his most dangerous impulses, going so far as to swipe and hide papers from his desk so he wouldn't sign them, according to a new book from legendary journalist Bob Woodward.

Woodward's 448-page book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," provides an unprecedented inside-the-room look through the eyes of the President's inner circle. From the Oval Office to the Situation Room to the White House residence, Woodward uses confidential background interviews to illustrate how some of the President's top advisers view him as a danger to national security and have sought to circumvent the commander in chief.

Many of the feuds and daily clashes have been well documented, but the picture painted by Trump's confidants, senior staff and Cabinet officials reveal that many of them see an even more alarming situation — worse than previously known or understood. Woodward offers a devastating portrait of a dysfunctional Trump White House, detailing how senior aides — both current and former Trump administration officials — grew exasperated with the President and increasingly worried about his erratic behavior, ignorance and penchant for lying.

Nope.

Everyone should watch the Kanye West interview with Kimmel. Kayne sets up a contrast between love and fear.

This fake news falls under “fear”.

Not sure how hate and fear are related but Kayne says we need to defuse the hate bomb before it goes off.

Bob “Woody” Woodward is a known liar whose use of anonymous sources is his phony device of choice. He wrote an infamous ‘tell-all about Reagan former CIA Director Bill Casey and claimed to have interviewed Casey on his death bed in the hospital. BUT, I happen to know his daughter and son-in-law who unequivocally stated that Woodward was never alone with Bill Casey and, further, at that time he couldn’t even speak. This yarn was spun to damage President Reagan. Didn’t work then, won’t work now.

He is the father of phony RAPorting as he obnoxiously and incorrectly pronounces what he supposedly does for a living! (Bernstein is the equivalent of his younger, dumber brother, which is not saying much).

Remember when he “sliped” into CIA director William J. Casey’s hospital room to interview Casey?

Is this the same guy from the “woodward and bernstein” team that just admitted to lying about Trump?

Admitted to lying? No. He was caught lying. Big difference.

Woodward also wrote a book about Obama. But no one commented on it, especially media. I read it and I thought it full of information which made Bambi look like an inexperienced, petulant, ignorant fool that he is. So it was honest.

But since no one commented on it, it just layed there.

Now I knew we’d have extensive analysis on YTrump’s expose. Every little thing is magnified and exploited.

Thing is Woodward is not listened to anymore, but media will trumpet it all anyway.

Trump appears to be lonely and increasingly paranoid, often watching hours of television in the White House residence. "They're out to get me," Trump said of Mueller's team.

LOL he isn't paranoid, he is spot on and understands exactly what is going on.

If true, those responsible could face jail time.

I think that's why Kelly is the doorkeeper to the President.

There was an unbelievable amount of leaking.

"Fear: Trump in the White House"

I'll be looking forward to his upcoming exposes:

"Starvation: Trump and the School Lunch Program"

"Re-enslavement: Trump and the fate of Civil Rights Progress"

"Hotel Roofs: Trump and the LGBT Community"

"Bountiful Harvests: Trump and His Rich, Corporate Donors"

This from the man who claimed to have talked with Bill Casey on his death bed

Trump is crazy like a fox. Leaving papers out to see who steals them is old school.

All the Bitchers can leave if they don’t like the job

New rules.....I don’t care. We win. You lose

So I guess Obama sealing his school records, maybe because he was listed as a foreign student, and him putting Susan Rice’s unmasking requests into his “Presidential Library” unavailable for public scrutiny is a nothing burger.
