“Maybe the Mueller team leaked it to Woodward, not Dowd.”
I don’t think so, but even if the leak came from the Mueller end, for Dowd and Sukelow to go in there and tell him things to assist him in nailing their own client... absolute Judases.
And if Woodward made up the whole story, then Dowd and Sukelow need to come out right away and deny it.
That will be the test. I wouldn't put it past the Mueller team to make up the story as just another way to put pressure on Trump and sow discord. Trump must have trust in his legal team.
