    Just admit he said something like 'I sometimes had direct sources, sometimes I had second-hand ones' and save me the trouble, ok?
    She asks "How come it's mostly anonymous"

    BW: "Well the events aren't anonymous"

    In other words, because a meeting happened...then anything we hear about that meeting must also be true.

    She presses him to say whether or not Mattis and Kelly are his sources. And obviously, those are NOT his sources.

    Do you really think that Kelly and Mattis said these things to Woodward?

    If not, then ergo, you believe woodward got it secondhand. Why are secondhand anonymous sources more compelling to you than the words of two extremely high ranking and distinguished military officers?

    If you do believe that Mattis and Kelly said those things to woodward, you're high.

    So your argument is Cohn has a conversation alone with Trump, tells it to a friend later, who then tells it to Woodward, who makes up whatever he wants.

    Then on the next page, your argument is that Omarosa walks up to the secretary and asks the secretary if she can see Trump and she says 'no, he's meeting Rob Porter'. And Omarosa tells that to Woodward and he just makes up an entire conversation between Trump and Porter

    Then on the next page, Dowd has a meeting with Trump about testifying to Mueller, later tells his neighbor about it, and Woodward interviews Dowd's neighbor, finds out this meeting took place, and makes up some shit about it.

    And this goes on for 450 pages.

    No I don't believe Mattis and Kelly talked to Woodward directly necesssarily. But, I do believe people in the room who weren't named Omarosa heard them say those things, and then told Woodward. And then Woodward went and asked other people in the room what was said, and they told him the same thing. And once Woodward had a general consensus he wrote it down.

    WHAT????

    So, one anonymous source is not ok, but a consensus of anonymous sources is just fine?

    Can you tell me which claims come from "an anonymous source who says..." and which claims come from "anonymous sources who say..."

    If you want a book where someone writes 'And then Cohn told me he called the president a moron for wanting to put tariffs on everything and everyone' you're gonna be waiting a long time.

    See, a lot of people don't want the shitstorm of death threats and probably legal issues that's going to come to them if they start publicly accusing the president of being a moron.

    Not sure why that's so hard to understand.

    Lol, no. It came out six months ago.

    Remember how that was supposed to be the schocking expose that took Trump down! Remember how this was going to show what an idiot he is and how little respect he gets, and how he needs words spoon fed to him by staffers who are practically asylum nurses.

    Remember how everyone stopped caring after three days?

    LOL

    And you don't think that diminishes their credibility at all?

    Basically, the difference between Fire and Fury and Omarosa's book on the one hand and Woodward's on the other, is the difference between the National Enquirer and the WP.
