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.

Therefore it's fake news.
Anyone remember the book Woodward wrote during Reagan’s term in office about William Casey the CIA Director? Woodward claimed he had somehow gotten into a top security hospital room to interview Casey while he was, I think on his deathbed, and published some account that was later totally debunked and the CIA said there was no way Woodward could have gotten near Casey for anything much less and interview.
Woodward’s credibility dating back to his Watergate reporting is very circumspect. Read “Silent Coup, The Removal of a President” the authors go into great detail on Woodward’s background and his connections.
This book is based, most likely, on rumor and innuendo. Will not be buying this trash, his source was probably Omarrosa.
Frankly I have doubts that Felt did much of anything, more likely was Deep Throat was either made up or a fiction to cover several people.
I highly doubt Mattis or Kelly would have accepted their posts or remained there if they believed they were working in Crazytown. Where do these people get their info from to print stuff like this???
I agree. Woodward is projecting.
woodward provides a judgment he is not qualified to make

Another work of fiction by Woodward
It shows a nervous breakdown of the deep state which is desperate to stop Trump.

I think it’s clear that McCain’s death is a real blow to the deep staters.
IS this the same guy who supposedly talked to William J. Casey while he was in a coma? He has been making up unbelievably fake news stuff for decades.
When the ancient Piscataway Indians were out tracking a big bear they were careful not to step in the woodward.
Get it on your feet and you can’t go in the teepee.
Woodward= Fake News
This is all about selling this tripe to a bunch of leftwing knuckle draggers.
Bob has sold his soul. He use to try and maintain some dignity but he must be down to his last nickel.....
John Dowd did a fine job of education President Trump to the dangers of taking to Mueller.
It’s not a “nervous breakdown”, it’s a rude awakening for a man who tries hard to be liked.
Arent they required by law to have a declaration at the beginning of the book :
THIS BOOK IS A WORK OF FICTION ...
“Everybody’s trying to get me”
Not everybody, but “the swamp” has lots of nasty creatures.
Every Republican (and Democrat) itching badly to become President would like to see the removal of the incumbent.
too bad he didn’t interview Dowd, who says there was no ‘practice session’. I’ll take Dowd’s word.
Game Change 2.0
same crap
Washed Poop. The leftist belief that a turd can be picked up safely from the clean end.
