Michael Wolff Could Have Been a Russian Spy

[berni_mccoy]

Here is one amazing fact that is a majorly overlooked detail of Michael Wolff and his book: no one in the Trump Admin knew who he was or what he was up to.

He could have been a Russian Spy and they would have been clueless.

On Morning Joe this morning, the panel was questioning on how Wolff had so much access to everyone and everything. There was a moment at a dinner that his presence was discussed and no one really knew who he was just that he had written an article with a favorable cover.

The Trump admin is so dysfunctional that is a major risk to our national security.

1. Trump is Reagan in 1986

An absent minded man manipulated by his inner circle.

10. Much worse

Reagan was a figurehead and knew it. He didn’t run around destroying US reputation across the globe.

He allowed others to guide him, instead of turning the country upside down to suit a whim.

Reagan is no hero to me, but was nowhere near as dangerous as Trump.

12. Yep

When there is a president who makes evil old bastard raygun look good by comparison, we're in big trouble.

Same goes for chimpy who is no doubt thrilled to no longer be the worst president in the history of the U.S.

2. Excellent point, although TWITLER invites Russians into the Oval Office in plain view

But the big deal is that so long as TWITLER is squatting in the White House where he never belonged, we as a country are in paralysis and the rest of the world is being taken over by whomever.

3. Somebody asked him a day or so ago, and he said he got a "blue pass" which...

is the best visitor pass to have-- you can go almost anywhere without an escort.

Apparently, he was seen with Trump and Bannon so whoever gives out the passes thought he was a bigshot who deserved access.

6. Hollywood Reporter's Janice Min said Hope Hicks loved the "cool" sunglass-clad Trump cover

of Michael Wolff's article about Trump that came out during campaign. Although the article included some of the same less than flattering observations of Trump as the new book, apparently Trumptsters loved the way Trump appeared on cover.

"I interviewed Donald Trump for The Hollywood Reporter in June 2016, and he seemed to have liked — or not disliked — the piece I wrote. "Great cover!" his press assistant, Hope Hicks, emailed me after it came out (it was a picture of a belligerent Trump in mirrored sunglasses). After the election, I proposed to him that I come to the White House and report an inside story for later publication — journalistically, as a fly on the wall — which he seemed to misconstrue as a request for a job. No, I said. I'd like to just watch and write a book. "A book?" he responded, losing interest. "I hear a lot of people want to write books," he added, clearly not understanding why anybody would. "Do you know Ed Klein?"— author of several virulently anti-Hillary books. "Great guy. I think he should write a book about me." But sure, Trump seemed to say, knock yourself out."

9. Yeah, that would do it

They are such shallow superficial people, all about image.

4. If he was a russian spy, they probably would have recognized him.

Oh, hi Boris.

5. Lol

[thbobby]

7. If he was a Russian Spy, he would probably have been working for them

[Marcuse]

8. They must have mistaken Wolff for the Russian Ambassador.

11. CBS and Others Are Selling a Different Story

I think CBS news has been reporting that it was well known that Michael Wolff was a reporter. I think it was Major Garrett, who said Wolff was always at the White House and in the press room and that everyone knew he was a reporter. Maybe Garrett meant that all the reporters and people working for the news channels knew Wolff's occupation.

Another reporter was on CBS This Morning claiming that she was shocked that so many Trump people were speaking openly about Trump in the presence of Wolff. It is very possible that these people knew who Wolff was and talked to him because Trump is far worse than we think and these people are trying to take him down from the inside. The reporter who was on TV this morning seemed to have said that Steve Bannon thought he had control of Donald Trump. Maybe when they realized he was not as controllable as they thought and that the Republican Congress was not going to stand up to him they decided they needed to take actions that would cause Trump to be removed from office.

Trump's "deep state" might just be the people that brought him to Washington, D.C. Maybe they were just like the media; thinking that he was just acting and once elected he would drop the crazy act and start acting presidential. When he did not change they may have realized he was not just acting and then decided they needed to take him out of office. Maybe Bannon and others never really thought they could beat Hillary Clinton and, like the Russians, they just wanted to weaken her. Maybe they thought the American people were not stupid enough to elect someone as foolish as Donald Trump. Once Trump did get into office they may have thought they needed to do something to get him out of office.

13. Not everyone in Trump Admin would be on board with that.

The fact that NO ONE said anything implies, when applying Occam's Razor, incompetence vs. subterfuge.
