Woodward has receipts. For instance he publishes the draft letter Cohn swiped from Trump’s desk:
A staple of every Woodward book: the note to readers regarding his sourcing.
There’s so much more news in the Woodward book than what’s been reported. Random page: Woodward says Rep. Mark Meadows was plottting a coup against Paul Ryan immediately after Trump won:
Gary Cohn threatening to resign over Trump’s pro-Nazi Charlottesville remarks, but deciding to stay to finish a tax cut bill, really sums up the GOP in 2018.

#Trump And I have heard for many years -- what's the worst trade in the history of sports? Babe Ruth,19-year-old pitcher, for $100,000 and a 35-year-old third baseman

#Factcheck
He was 24 not 19
He cost $125,000
No 35 year old third baseman was included in the deal.

#TrumpLies
#Trump
Babe Ruth was "drafted" as a pitcher.

#FactCheck There was no draft in Ruth's era.
#Trump

Ruth hit his home runs in the "dead ball" era.

#FactCheck

The dead ball era famously ended with Ruth's emergence as a slugger.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

THREAD - What does #HPSCI release of GOP classified memo mean?

In a partisan vote led by Chairman @DevinNunes, the HPSI voted to release a four page classified memo that details alleged surveillance abuses by @FBI & @TheJusticeDept.

washingtonpost.com/world/national…
HPSCI, which along with Senate counterpart (#SSCI), was formed 40 years ago in wake of #ChurchCommittee, #PikeCommittee& #RockefellerCommission, which dealt with a variety of abuses by the Intelligence Community, acted in an unprecedented manner by invoking Rule X, clause 11(f)
(3) That provision actually talks abt preventing disclosure, without consent of each person concerned, of info in possession of HPSCI "that unduly infringes
on the privacy or that violates the constitutional rights of such person."
