White House Blasts Michael Wolff Book as ‘Trashy Tabloid Fiction’ breitbart ^ | Posted on 1/3/2018, 4:23:26 PM
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement condemning a new tell-all book about the Trump administration by Michael Wolff. “This book is filled with false and misleading accounts from individuals who have no access or influence with the White House,” Sanders said.
Wolff cites more than 200 interviews with sources for the book and multiple meetings at the White House over a period of 18 months.
But Sanders decried many of those sources, including former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who returned to Breitbart News as chairman after leaving the White House.
“Participating in a book that can only be described as trashy tabloid fiction exposes their sad, desperate attempts at relevancy,” she said.

so far the President has been 100% correct 100% of the time ...
Why is Drudge pushing fake news?
Now we will know where some of the leaks came from. Bannon is probably NOT the source but someone on his staff.
“Why is Drudge pushing fake news?”
IMHO somewhere along the road Drudge made a left turn.
....and multiple meetings at the White House over a period of 18 months.
Trump hasn't been in office that long.................
Fake news
Not in a year.
oops meant to write not even a year since POTUS was sworn into office.
I knew what you meant....................
If Bannon returned to Breitbart and BB took him in, it reflects poorly on BB, to me.
Why is Drudge pushing fake news? Drudge pushes Drudge, not MAGA.
I’m disgusted with Bannon. He has verified his statements to Wolff and knew very well he was attempting to harm Trump’s presidency. I’m beginning to think Bannon is a megalomaniac. He lost his ‘prestige’ when he backed Roy Moore and turned the Senate seat over to a dem - and now he evidently is hungry for the spotlight.
One thing he knows for sure is that Trump cherishes loyalty more than anything and Bannon just back stabbed him in the most public way possible. Attacking his family sealed Bannon’s fate.
Wolff went to Columbia College of Columbia University in New York City. While a student at Columbia, he worked for The New York Times as a copy boy.... 'nuf said.
This guy is a serious boot licker.
He never ‘left’ permanently. He took a leave of absence with full intentions to be gone a year and still retained his title. KNOW what you are talking about because almost exactly a year from the date he took the leave of absence, he LEFT the WH and was back on the air.
Boy, oh boy, there are some interesting forces at work in this flap. I do not believe any of it until I hear from Bannon and Trump directly.
Why is Drudge pushing fake news?
Because he is a blackmailed homosexual. (most likely)
In the WH Press Briefing, Sarah Sanders said that every time Wolff visited, it was at the request of Bannon.
really disappointing - sounds like he’s nothing but a gossip girl
Drudge pushes Drudge
Drudge gets it pushed in ........... I stand with Trump-—not with Bannon
LoL Wolff’s altered reality in his book. Excerpts.
“This book actually claims this: “On Election Night, when the unexpected trend , Trump might actually win, seemed confirmed, Don Jr. told a friend that his father, or DJT, as he calls him, looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears—and not of joy.” “
And “Trump was “horrified at winning” Trump scared at winning! Hahaha LoL.
Why do you believe their report of what Trump said?
“IMHO somewhere along the road Drudge made a left turn.”
No question about that. It happened about 7-8 months ago. He’s lost.
Why is Drudge pushing fake news? The pattern seems to be for Drudge to splash their stupid claims so that 3 days later when it falls apart more people know it was fake to begin with.
Giving them rope, helping them make themselves looks stupid.
Was Bannon a leaker thru Wolff?
The little snowflakes and ankle biters have cried "Wolf" too many times. The Fake Media has destroyed any credibility they might have once had.
So if they accidentally ever print something true no one but their leftoid sycophants will by into it,.
Wolff cites more than 200 interviews with sources ...Sources? He's got sources? My booro has sources!
He has verified his statements to Wolff and knew very well he was attempting to harm Trump’s presidency.
Where has he verified his statements to Wolff? I've been seeing people all over Free Republic trying to find confirmation of this one way or the other, and apparently you know where that is.
So where did you find out that Bannon has verified these statements that Wolff has attributed to him?

That is a lie. You should stop spreading lies. The Deep State and "Establishment" want people to blame Bannon, but Bannon was absolutely correct in backing Moore. The people who cost us that seat were people like Richard Shelby, Jeff Flake, and Mitch McConnell as well as the lying democrat propaganda smear machine.
Put the blame for the Alabama loss where it correctly belongs. On backstabbing Republicans and lying media outfits.
Boy, oh boy, there are some interesting forces at work in this flap. I do not believe any of it until I hear from Bannon and Trump directly. Another sane person on Free Republic. Everyone is running around like chicken little trying to blame people, and no one knows if any of this is real or fake news.
Bannon appears to be a raging alcoholic to me.
Sadly, this will not stop the book from being the talk on all of the Sunday shows, as well as hundreds of others. The book will be discussed as if it is completely factual.
This will help the Dems to bury the story about Russian collusion, since it is now reflecting on them, as well as the growing reality that the FBI and DOJ conspired to protect Hillary and/or harm POTUS.
Meanwhile, hopefully POTUS will take advantage of the MSM diversion to get some other winning done for us.
The stuff swirling around Brannon seems like Kabuki to me. Go watch his 60 Minutes interview and ask yourself what has changed. Perhaps it’s all real and should be taken at face value, but for now I’m skeptical. POTUS and his cohorts are masters of disinformation and strategic deception. They ran a con with Scaramucci that few have figured out to this day.
I am shocked that the press, Dems, and Never-Trumpers still haven’t caught on to Trump’s modus operandi. I remain confident in A.G. Sessions because I believe they intentionally created the prevailing impression of him as a do-nothing. Trump & Co. are running circles around the Swamp. Once you catch on it’s amazing to watch. I believe this year will be the year of resignations, stunning revelations, investigations, and major indictments. I fully expect to see Hillary indicted. If they don’t indict her this year I believe we will see them working their way toward her. I can’t wait until I.G. Horowitz’s report is issued.
I tend to lean toward believing what you suggest, and I SO hope you are 100% right!
I’m on The Guardian every day checking out what the other side “thinks” (use that term loosely!) Michael Wolffe has been on for a year writing insane screeds against the president.
Let the dogs bark.

All these people, pundits, journalist, talking heads, networks liars, all got it all wrong. They had the entire election wrong.
I have no idea why anyone capable of critical thought would still be watching that fake s**t.
What is all the excitement everywhere over another gossipy tabloid trash opinion made up to destroy POTUS and his family who are all decent people. This writer has little to no credibility and why POTUS or Don Jr even bothered to address anything in the book, is beyond me.
Was Bannon a leaker thru Wolff?
Welp it’s looking this way, through Wolff or other people as well.
Bannon has always been a pole turtle in that office. He wears the same suede jacket and jeans when in the presence of the President of the United States of America.
He’s got the class of a pill-addict. Even Alex Jones takes a shower and dresses well to respect those around him.
Bannon was just a bad choice, really. The Breitbart thing was a good connection but Trump must have seen this guy for a chump when he showed up to work on day one wearing the same thing from the night before, and subsequently, his last day.
Just the way that Bannon is seen addressing the room in the CNN “mile away sniper footage” is unprofessional and lunatic.
There are smart guys that dress like crap. There are. I have them in my profession. They won’t work for me, but they are out there. There is a reason I ask my people to dress professionally, at all times. It’s called decorum and if you can’t follow decorum when in the oval office - you’re a tool.

Exactly. FR should not even post one damn thread about this book or it’s leftist deranged writer.
The left have shot their wad at POTUS, and nobody believed them and their lying polls.They can’t stop with their bullshit. Their audience will lap it up, meanwhile crazy criminal Hillary is kept out of the WH. Thank goodness.
