Bob Woodward on Mueller Report: Now We Wait For The Tapes
realclearpolitics.com ^ | 4/19/19 | Tim Hains

"Watergate" journalist Bob Woodward told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday that in the wake of the Mueller report, he is waiting for someone to come forward with "tapes or new evidence."

BOB WOODWARD: Well, first of all, I think the report is quite amazing, and the Attorney General Barr did himself a massive disservice because his letter quoted a portion of the report that looked like Trump was off the hook on obstruction of justice, but as we know on page 182, Mueller makes it very clear that they did not reach this issue because of evidence, because they could not make a determination determination. Joe may remember this, but the day Reagan was shot 1981 was it was Al Haig who rushed in and defined the way people were going to remember him by saying 'I'm in charge here.' Of course, he wasn't.

And Barr is going to be remembered for this because it was not — it was just a deception and a misrepresentation of what this report shows.

Now, where it goes, I think it turns on the quality of evidence. In the Nixon case again, I’m sorry to go back but the tapes showed conclusively the President of the United States ordered the payment of hush money to the Watergate burglars and their overseers. He did it again and again, said, 'Let’s blow the safe, let’s break in.'

Now, in the case of the Trump case here, they stumbled, Trump stumbled. It was kind of obstruction of justice-lite. There were lots of people who said, 'I’m not going to do these things that he ordered.' So where this goes, does somebody come up with tapes or new evidence? I think that would be the propellant here.

Oh I do hope you are correct. I also hope he keeps them close for the very right time to use them, like just a few days before the election.

Patience. Wait until they’re not looking.

Trump could have fired Comey for looking at him funny, or picking his nose, or anything..let me ask, if Trump had fired Comey day 1 into his Presidency would it have been such a big issue or only because he waited til May to do it?

One of the best ways to truly learn about Watergate and what a complete frauds Woodward, Bernstein The Washington Post and John Dean truly are, go to the Texas A & M Colodny Collection of interviews from the 1980s and 1990s of key Watergate participants Dean, Woodward, Mitchell, H R Haldeman, Ehrlichman etc. The books by James Hougan, Len Colodny, James Rosen, Phil Stanford and particularly Geoff Shepard and even Roger Stone shed plenty of light on what absolute liars and frauds W,B & D truly are. Which explains the trio’s status as Russia Collusiono hypesters.

I am waiting for someone to renew journalism and actually find real journalists that want to report the news without an agenda, and who don’t have as their number one priority becoming famous.

probably because they would be shot dead where they stood by SWAT units primed for action...

Absolutely...and if I may, I’d like to add the website... https://www.watergate.com/ As often as I can, I try to remind people of Colodny’s great 1992 book ‘Silent Coup’ since what we are seeing today is just the continuing of the attempted coup.

Obstruction of Justice Lite....where is that in the criminal code? I noticed none of the Repukes are out defending Trump. I wish the Dems were a competent opposition so we could get rid of all the Repukes

Of course they’ll expect the next Democrat president to be treated with the utmost respect and dignaty, right?

The left has destroyed any chance of that ever from now on.

Yes, Watergate.com has links to the Colodny Collection. Colodny was near Brian Lamb level in getting his interviewees to talk. There were some very vicious dirty tricks on Colodny as he began asking tough questions to the likes of John Dean, Jack Rudy (prosecutor involved in Phil Bailley case), Woodward etc. Even Gerald Ford warned Colodny about the “powerful forces” he was up against writing Silent Coup.
