‘He is peddling stories’: Bob Woodward denies Republican’s claim he said Biden was corrupt
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/jan/11/bob-woodward-james-comer-biden-corruption
Apparently, being truthful that #Trump really will try to arrest #NancyPelosi, #AdamSchiff, #MarkMilley, #LizCheney and others, is a "cheap shot" for #BobWoodward. He won't say so, just assures us that there will probably be strong institutions and people around him to stop him.
Well that's a relief.
#BobWoodward is a fucking moron.
What a disappointing old white male hack that guy is, shitting all over his Watergate legacy.
"I have a book out..."
Fuck off
Finally finished Woodward's "War" and its worth noting how woodward closes his Epilogue on this, on the Biden administration.
We are / were fortunate to have President Biden and his Team in place during this time.
Thank you Joe Biden.

“President Biden privately voiced fury at his attorney general, Merrick Garland, who had appointed a special counsel to investigate Hunter [Biden]. “Should never have picked Garland,” President Biden told an associate. But his inner circle had pushed hard for Garland’s appointment.”

“Before Russia’s invasion, Putin had argued for a long time that overspending on defense was one of the great mistakes of the Soviet Union. It had destroyed Russia’s economy.
“Now he’s basically making that same move,” [DNI Avril] Haines said with bewilderment. “It is pretty extraordinary to watch.”

By the end of the meeting…, it appeared to Shipley & Lewis that #Bezos had reservations about The #WashingtonPost endorsing either candidate….But they thought he was open to persuasion.
Bezos’ ultimate decision, to end #WaPo’s decades-long practice of endorsing presidential candidates, exploded into public view on Friday, drawing criticism from #reporters, #editors & #readers, along w/an unusual rebuke from the legendary Post journalists #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein.

#BrianTylerCohen's interview with #BobWoodward, author of #War
“We have got to stop him!” Milley said. “You have got to stop him!” By “you” he meant the press broadly. “He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”
“A fascist to the core!” Milley repeated to me.
I will never forget the intensity of his worry.”
Excerpt From
War
Bob Woodward
Woodward’s conversation with General Milley: “No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump,” Milley said. “Do you realize, do you see what this man is? I glimpsed it when I talked to you back—for Peril, but I now know it. I now know it.”

Putin’s bitch in Mar-a-Lago February 2022, on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine: “He is “pretty smart,” Trump said of Putin during a Florida fundraiser that evening, assessing the invasion like a real estate deal rather than a former president.
“He’s taken over a country for $2 worth of sanctions,” Trump said, “really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people—and just walking right in.”

“Under Jeff #Bezos's ownership, the #WashingtonPost's news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger & damage a second #Trump presidency could cause to the future of American #democracy & that makes this decision even more surprising & disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process."

from #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein:
“We respect the traditional independence of the #editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential #election ignores the #WashingtonPost's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald #Trump poses to #democracy.
