Looks like the MSM is grasping desperately...
John Dowd was convinced that President Trump would commit perjury if he talked to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. So, on Jan. 27, the president’s then-personal attorney staged a practice session to try to make his point.
In the White House residence, Dowd peppered Trump with questions about the Russia investigation, provoking stumbles, contradictions and lies until the president eventually lost his cool.
“This thing’s a goddamn hoax,” Trump erupted at the start of a 30-minute rant that finished with him saying, “I don’t really want to testify.”
The dramatic and previously untold scene is recounted in “Fear,” a forthcoming book by Bob Woodward that paints a harrowing portrait of the Trump presidency, based on in-depth interviews with administration officials and other principals.
Woodward writes that his book is drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses that were conducted on “deep background,” meaning the information could be used but he would not reveal who provided it. His account is also drawn from meeting notes, personal diaries and government documents.
Woodward depicts Trump’s anger and paranoia about the Russia inquiry as unrelenting, at times paralyzing the West Wing for entire days. Learning of the appointment of Mueller in May 2017, Trump groused, “Everybody’s trying to get me”— part of a venting period that shellshocked aides compared to Richard Nixon’s final days as president.

Washington Post...enough said.
It shows a nervous breakdown of the deep state which is desperate to stop Trump.

Paranoia? It’s not paranoia if it’s the truth.
Gee another book
Exactly.
Woodward writes modern political fiction.
There’s no other way to describe it.
What Woodward and the rest of the morons out to "get" President Trump is, TRUMP IS NOT NIXON; HE FIGHTS BACK!
Yeah. Never saw that coming. </sarcasm>
Old Bob Woodward and ??? Bernstein have become “nervous Nellies” lately. This book and the lie Bernstein told on CNN. They are afraid they will be forgotten after they cleaned the Whitehouse of President Nixon. Swamp people of dc !?
Another day, another idiotic Trump hating book YAWN! If Woodward wanted to do some REAL investigative journalism he would research everything that went on during the Clinton years, and everything that went on in the Clinton Foundation..the bribes, etc etc..but of course not since if you have a D next to your name you are automatically innocent, besides he voted for her so its all good
Woodward & Bernstein — get these two Watergate frauds off the stage. The only reason they’re known is because the FBI dingbat Mark Felt (Deep Throat) fed them all their info.
Yeah, dont ya know, all Trump supporters are crazy..after all we are against Communism, that makes us all automatic nut cases
On full display in all its glory in the Kavanaugh hearings.
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!
He’s crazy, we’re crazy, but all those DC peeps are sane and know best.
Any good “money quotes” from Bill Casey?
Looks like Woodward is trying to out-prevaricate his old sidekick Bernstein.
Neither are credible.
