    Bob Woodward is a fraud who makes up stories (like his visit with William Casey on his death bed) so that he can make a profit. John Kerry is an idiotic disgrace who should be hung for treason.

    The real fear in DC is that Trump might upset the scam they've been running since FDR. We might start getting new faces elected who aren't going to be bribed.

    Bob Woodward is no fraud. If he uses the same means in this book you can trust it. If he overly relies on anonymity I won't buy it. He has to name most of who told him what. If he won't do that it's a hit piece.

    Not always, and definitely not when he was mainly a journalist. He literally is probably the best/most famous example of ever having used an anonymous source - Deep Throat, during the Watergate scandal.

    It is highly doubtful that a reputable man like Woodward would base an entire book off of anonymous sources or that he would think that such a book would be respected. He knows better, especially in this climate. He won't $#@! that up or his reputation by relying on anonymous sources without confirming information.

    I doubt that you ever even read more than the cover page of one of his books. He gives politicians a fair shake. He is probably one of the few journalists still in the industry that is old school and cares deeply about producing material that is reputable and respectable.

    I have to say that the same thing about you, since you are evidently unaware that he has a history of lying about encounters he has with people to damage Republicans.

"We have a presidency which is off the rails," Kerry told Anderson Cooper on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." "We have a President who is not capable of doing the job, who clearly has these temper tantrums, doesn't know enough to be making many of the decisions he makes."

    More Rantings from the left loons, there is no "Constitutional Crisis" to this point our POTUS has done nothing to exceed his Constitutional powers. Where was this concern when the last Admin continued to make EO's that exceeded his Authority according to the courts????? Oh that's right Kerry was part of it........
    If and I say If Bob Woodward's book is correct in what he writes and if the anonymous OP Ed in the NYT is true, then America does have a big problem in Trump. It might be time for the House to exercise the madman clause in the constitution and remove Trump as President. Again, this is only if it is true. Only time will tell.
    God Bless America, God Bless our Military and God Bless the Police who defended the country against the insurgents on January 6, 2021

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Deep Throat was a source that led to other sources. He never actually was quoted ever. He told Woodward and Bernstein where to look. Their stories were always based on two different sources and at least one was named.

    I will what to see if he follows through with this. If he does then Trump needs to accept that you cannot trust people with much.

    John Kerry: 'This is a genuine constitutional crisis'

    This is not a "constitutional crisis". Everything today is hyperbolized in an exaggerated manner.

    John Kerry is just a party hack.

    They were also doing an investigative piece. They weren't writing an op-ed article.
