Believable. How many times did Trey Gowdy grill commie comey on how that's a crime punishable by 10 years in the pen?

Damn that was funny, I'd watch that again.

Why would you post a Washington examiner article about a Washington post editorial? Why wouldn't you just, you know, post the Post article?

My bad, I think this is from an interview, not an editorial. Why not post the interview?

You intentionally left the word possibly out of your thread title why?

We'd know more about this if motormouth Bill O'Reilly would have shut his GD face last night, and let Woodward speak.

Anti Trump WaPo editor
Rather than present this from "Bob Woodward" who happens to be of the most renowned investigative journalists in history, you identify him as "anti-Trump WaPo editor?" Do you think that makes his claims more legitimate as "anit-Trump" rather than just being "Bob Woodward?"

In other words, his reputation is what makes those claims noteworthy and credible, not whether he's anti-Trump or not. The most credible journalists are able to put their biases aside, and report it as objectively as possible.

He's absolutely anti Trump. It's relevant to this subject. If he's saying this it has merit and you can expect indictments soon. The show is just starting.

Interesting opinion by an admittedly solid journalist, and most in here are attacking the OP. Not for the source, but specifics about his delivery.

You people are so fricking stupid.

I think you're missing the point. His reputation has been so eroded by being Anti-Trump that he is no longer important as 'Bob Woodward'

I doubt it. I remember, shortly after Obamas first election, either Kathleen Sebilious, or Valerie Jarrett, saying "Never put anything in writing". It was in a captured "off mic" moment. It struck me as an odd thing to say.

But anti-Trump does not mean one can't objectively evaluate the legal issues surrounding these leaks.

In addition, Woodward was critical of Obama's administration. They allegedly called him up, and went in a half an hour tirade, then sent him a threatening email.

Woodward didn't come to that conclusion on his own.. He had to have O'Rielly tell him about that last night. I guess Woodward learned something.

Ahh...the acclaimed Woodward...truth warrior Journalist...and one of the pens that went dry over the last 8 years of OVERT CORRUPTION of IRS (Lerner, Koskinen), DOJ (Holder, Contempt of Congress), NSA (Rosen, et al) and the final icing on the cake...the "wiretapping" (MSM collustion in hyped Russian meme to justify surveilling of political Opposition).

And where was the sainted Woodward. AWOL.

That whole DC/NYC Ideological Cartel is rotten to the core as a supposed virtuous political machine. It would not surprise me if a Divine asteroid hit it dead center. We are looking at the reason that wars generally settle these differences.
