I believe Woodward has been warning publicly that there is no "there" there in this investigation.
He has been sitting on info all during this investigation that shows that it's a sham.
Meanwhile, his paper didn't listen to him and ran with the so-called scandal (the Editor and Pinkus).
Now Woodward's talking because his source released him. He is now saying I told you so to the people he works with. This is another great example of the disintegration going on in the MSM. Very sweet.
