It’s all about him.” Verbatim Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said Wolff begged to get an interview with Trump several times but was denied. --Wolff said he said he sat outside the oval office every day. Sanders said that is absolutely not true. She said he did meet with Steve Bannon several times. Hmmmmm. Believe what you want. I will take Sander's word any day over Wolff considering his background. The same Huckabee who stands in front of the press and lies daily? Hmm... Okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G8orH8or 61 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 A journalist doing "whatever necessary" for a story? Yeah, I expect that of any investigative reporter. I blame the Admin for granting him access, not Wolff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolff says he has tapes to prove everything he says. I'm not holding my breath. He will make a ton of money out of all this, it will all blow away and the only suckers are the people who buy his book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her boss is different for one. He lies on a grander scale and therefore her unqualified repeating of his lies is worse. Also, there's a difference in putting the most positive spin on something for the President vs out and out lying. The best press secretaries know that difference. She doesn't.

I respect your opinion but strongly disagree. In any event I stand by my statement that I believe her IN THIS CASE until proven wrong. Wolff has already been discredited by the WaPO article for starters. He says he has tapes of all the interviews. Why don't he just release them and shut up his detractors. I think you know the answer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wollf says President Trump did not expect to win or want to win, " losing is winning", " Trump Network". Why the collusion with Russia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, no president has been attacked liked President Trump. I will take Sarah's word over Wollf. He had an agenda from day 1. Amazing that Trump has survived. That alone says something. PT, average Joe that elected President Trump probably does really care who Sarah is or this sudden wonder writer Wollf. To busy working and feeling good about things today and the future. Looking for a great 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
