Don't believe Michael Wolff's book about Trump if you want the truth
The Hill ^ | 1/8/18 | Sebastian Gorka

When I worked in the White House, I was viewed as strange by many of my colleagues on Sean Spicer’s press team. Although, as a deputy assistant to President Trump, I could regularly be seen on the major news networks, standing on the North Lawn of the White House and discussing some aspect of the administration’s latest policy, I maintained a rather different relationship with the press than all of my other politically-appointed colleagues.

Unless we had a preexisting relationship, I didn’t trust any journalist. And if you came from an outlet that belonged to what President Trump calls #FakeNews, I really wasn’t interested in becoming your friend. To those few persistent journalists from news organs like the Washington Post who wouldn’t give up, I was upfront: Sorry, I don’t do “deep background” and I’m using my phone to record this conversation.

Sebastian Gorka was a treat while he worked for Trump.

He hasn't lost that quality in Larry Elder interviews or anywhere else.

To date, any information outlet that wants credibility regarding the Trump Administration can do far worse than interview Sebastian Gorka.

“Sebastian Gorka was a treat while he worked for Trump.”

Actually he does much more good for Trump now than before. On the outside he can do and say things about politics and the media that he could not say as part of the administration. He is doing a fantastic job today.

I have always suspected he left the administration for exactly this reason.

Michael Wolff has basically composed the post-election dossier.

Gorka’s always on the mark with sage advice. Like this:

“I would like to remind my colleagues still inside the White House: You don’t have to be friends with each and every journalist who seeks you out. But if you do engage, remember that smartphones make excellent recording devices.”

Dossier or fire and fury. Both fiction.
