Bob Woodward is so full of it that we should be able to smell it through a computer monitor.
Let's see Woodward's evidence - from a credible, original source. The source of his assertion: Himself. Bob Woodward.
Woodward's alleged source, Dan Coats, according to Woodward, allegedly had a "secret belief," that Putin had something on Trump, but that his "secret belief," is, "unsupported by evidence."

Based on that, most of the other media now is reporting Woodward's unsupported assertion about Coats' alleged unsupported "secret belief" (yes, an unsupported assertion of an unsupported, secret belief), as established fact -- all in the lead-up to Woodward's new book coming out next week.
How would that play out in court -- unless, of course, it was to be used against Trump?
Wake up America! We're being gaslighted again. For politics, and to promote Woodward's new book.
And, as to Woodward's unequivocal praise for U.S. intelligence; if U.S. intelligence is so good, why does it repeatedly fail, even going so far as to support the baseless, debunked RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! hoax against Trump, promoted by Hillary, Strzok, Mueller's investigative team, Adam Schiff and other Democrats, and, of course,the "news media," all of which was ultimately shown to be a load of more cr*p?
And now they're at it again and we're supposed to believe it.
What would Woodward say about these "intelligence experts," who Brandon and his Secretary of State-to-be, Anthony Blinken, used to peddle false information to the American voters to interfere with (and, according to some surveys of actual voters, likely changed) the outcome of the 2020 election in order to beat Trump:

And, if U.S. intelligence as to Putin and the Kremlin is as thorough and accurate as Woodward claims, why didn't Brandon's U.S. intelligence network and advisors know Putin's precise plans as to Ukraine, leading up to the invasion and throughout the war? Brandon himself said he didn't know what Putin was going to do, and mumbled something about a response to more than a "minor incursion" by Putin. What happened to all that intel failure?
Maybe U.S. intel failures are partly because our intel officials improperly spend U.S. government money and resources domestically to advance their own partisan domestic political agendas, including planting and promoting stories with their news media propagandists and cronies like Woodward and the major U.S. newspapers and networks.
The American people have started to catch on. |
