Since riding on his Watergate reputation, 78-year-old Bob Woodward has become a Democrat political hack, working feverishly in the 2020 presidential campaign to defeat former President Donald Trump. Woodward’s 2020 book “Rage,” blamed Trump for the Covid-19 crisis, becoming Democrats’ bible for prosecuting the case against Trump. Rage helped the Democrat spin machine blame Trump for everything Covid-19. Woodward convinced Democrats and the public that Trump knew everything that would happen to the U.S. with the deadly novel coronavirus Jan. 28, 2020, the day he interviewed Trump for his book. At the time of the interview, there was not one fatality in the U.S. from Covid-19 yet Woodward questioned why Trump didn’t level with the public about how bad the crisis would get. Why Woodward didn’t ask the same question to Dr. Anthony Fauci, Trump medical adviser, is anyone’s guess.
To Democrats and the anti-Trump press, Woodward’s indictment of Trump was exactly what they needed to discredit the former president during the election year. Three days after Woodward interviewed Trump, Jan. 31, Trump cancelled flights to-and-from China, prompting the World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom to hold a Feb. 5, 2020 Geneva press conference denouncing Trump. Only two weeks before, Tedros told the world from Geneva Jan. 14, 2020 that there was no “human-to-human transmission” in Wuhan, China, the alleged origin of the disease. Yet Woodward never interviewed Tedros, Chinese authorities, only Trump because he knew Democrats could use his quotes to discredit Trump in the 2020 campaign. Now Woodward’s at it again, long after Trump left office.
Woodward’s new book with Robert Costa, “Peril,” claims that former CIA Director Gena Haspel and Gen. Milke Miley expressed concern about a right-wing coup that resulted in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, Democrats call an “insurrection.” Woodward claims the Haspel and Miley, both known Trump haters, had concerns about a right wing coup d’etat. Yet neither Haspel nor Milery expressed any concerns about the four months of rioting, looting, arson and anarchy that swept the country after the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. Whatever cities were torched and whatever federal buildings were vandalized, Haspel and Miley only had concerns when Trump refused to accept the results of the Nov. 8 presidential election, claiming widespread election fraud. Trump’s allegations of voter fraud were never confirmed, trying to explain why he lost the Nov. 8, 2020 election.
Woodward’s contention is that the intel community and Defense Department took the risk of the coup seriously yet, no one at the FBI took the risk of “insurrection” seriously enough to provide security Jan. 6, the day the Senate certified the Electoral College results of the Nov. 8, 2020 election. “We are on the way to a right-wing coup,” Haspel told Miley, with Woodward conveniently leaving out the date. Whatever Trump claimed about a “rigged” election, if Hapsel and Miley were really concerned about a right-wing coup, as Woodward claims, why didn’t they notify the FBI, DC and Capitol police to set up an appropriate security cordon on Jan. 6, the day the Electoral College results were certified? Woodward again creates a fake narrative to help make the case against Trump in the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6. When the inauguration rolled around, Capitol security was tight.
Miley allegedly told Woodward that he worried about Trump’s mental health, with all his claims about a rigged elections. Democrats before-and-after Trump took office Jan. 20, 2017 always questioned Trump’s mental health, working with House and Senate colleagues to remove him from office under the 25th Amendment. So when Woodward says Miley expressed concern about Trump suffering from “mental decline,” it was no different from Trump-haters, Democrats and Republicans, during his four years in office. Yet to the story-starved anti-Trump press, they’re looking to help the House Select Committee do what the Feb. 9 impeachment trial couldn’t do: Convict Trump of “incitement of insurrection.” Woodward’s book is another glaring Democrat hit job designed to influence public opinion to blame Trump for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that defaced the House and Senate.
Whatever happened on Jan. 6, it was anything but an ‘insurrection,” a massive crowd of misfits looking to grandstand at the Capitol. If the House Select Committee wants to really figure out what happened, they need to look no further than four months of anarchy over Summer 2020. House and Senate Democrats and Democrat politicians around the country did nothing to stop the riots, looting, arson and anarchy in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Capitol rioters made a point that we can riot too, especially when Democrat elected officials do nothing to stop left-wing violence. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) wants to try Trump for the second time on the same charges, putting Trump in a sort of double-jeopardy. House Democrats have zero evidence that Trump was involved in planning the riot to protest the Nov. 8, 2020 presidential election. Like Woodward, House Democrats want to haze Trump one more time.
