    This from a supporter of lying Trump.

    Bob Woodward is a Pulitzer Prize winning highly respected investigative journalist and author of five books on US Presidents, as well as a part of the investigative duo who uncovered the political scandals of Richard Nixon. Hardly "yellow journalism" and all the more convincing in that it reinforces much of what we've been learning from numerous other sources.

      Like I don't know who Bob Woodward is.

      I guess you missed the posts earlier in the thread where James Mattis is on record saying that Woodward's quotes attributed to him are fiction; and that Woodward's former partner Carl Bernstein was recently busted for blatantly lying in an article he wrote for CNN, not to mention getting burned by his own "anonymous" source who he had lied to protect.

      So, yeah, it's typical "sources say" yellow journalism. Somebody should dig into their reporting on Watergate and see how much of it really checks out. A Pulitzer prize for journalism is no guarantee of truth and is often just an award for telling the most convincing lies.

        Which is why he will never be elected for a second term, if he ever makes it through the first. Had there not been reasons for such scrutiny, (suspected conspiracy/obstruction of justice) of this treasonous con mans crooked administration, then there would have been no investigation. Now his whole amoral, thieving, crooked life will be opened up to the poor uninformed naive bumpkins that mistakenly voted for him.

            Then you are aware that he is a meticulous investigative journalist. More to the point, his book givens credence to the other ongoing reportage re the dysfunctional WH and the incompetent, deranged president.

            I guess you missed the posts earlier in the thread where James Mattis is on record saying that Woodward's quotes attributed to him are fiction;
            So did William Mark Felt deny being Deep Throat...for 30 years after Watergate. But it brought Nixon down just as this brave anonymous whistle blower will bring down the corrupt Trump presidency.

            and that Woodward's former partner Carl Bernstein was recently busted for blatantly lying in an article he wrote for CNN, not to mention getting burned by his own "anonymous" source who he had lied to protect.
            Where did this nonsense come from, Breitbart?

            If its "blatant lying" you want you need go no further than Trump. He's a compulsive liar.

            So, yeah, it's typical "sources say" yellow journalism. Somebody should dig into their reporting on Watergate and see how much of it really checks out. A Pulitzer prize for journalism is no guarantee of truth and is often just an award for telling the most convincing lies.
            I will trust the responsible information from Woodward et al over lying, failing Trump any day.

                No problem, if that comes to pass I'll just have to face the fact that politically speaking, this country is, like yourself, majority idiot, and that they will just have to learn the hard way.

                    Yes, how dare Trump improve our economy bring back the manufacturing jobs that Obama said would never come back, defeat ISIS, negotiate the disarmament of North Korea, and return the US to a position of strength in world affairs. Only an idiot could be in favor of such things!

                      The economy was already improving steadily from the Obama era, except that Trump has given huge tax cuts to the top few and increased the U.S. debt to an unsustainable record $25 trillion. Whilst Trump implied that “almost 100 percent” of ISIS territory was liberated under his watch this is simply untrue just as North Korea has promised to denuclearise lots of times already. Trump was duped by a smarter operator. As for “strength in world affairs” the rest of the world is getting on without him because of his insane policy of isolationism. Only an idiot would believe otherwise.
