Let's yell at the guy interviewing the "leader of the free world" instead of focusing our ire at the actual guy who failed to do anything with all the information at his disposal.

That will help the situation.

Bob Woodward sat on this audiotape for 7 months [View all] Bucky Sep 2020 OP

How many threads on this topic so far? The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2020 #1

My first Bucky Sep 2020 #8

Yea, but maybe look if other people posted an exact same thing before posting? LisaL Sep 2020 #17

CNN covered this this morning. Seems Woodward expected to talk to... brush Sep 2020 #29

Yep BannonsLiver Sep 2020 #36

Trump called him 19 times over the course of months. If he leaked it, Trump would cut him off. TheBlackAdder Sep 2020 #56

What could it have done? radius777 Sep 2020 #2

It's not about Trump its about those who suffered and died Tribetime Sep 2020 #3

But releasing the tape then wouldn't have made Trump radius777 Sep 2020 #9

I know that's your opinion but I disagree 100% And I don't even know how this is a question Tribetime Sep 2020 #12

What do you disagree with? LisaL Sep 2020 #14

Actually a lot of Republicans are leaving the party. Bucky Sep 2020 #19

What exactly do you want done about it now? LisaL Sep 2020 #22

No, giving Trump 6 extra months to not be called out on his lies... Bucky Sep 2020 #34

Again, what do you want to do about it now? LisaL Sep 2020 #39

90% of the case against Trump is about imagining what could have happened Bucky Sep 2020 #55

ITA. ThAts just what trump would have done. Nt raccoon Sep 2020 #103

Kill the messenger! Off with his head! Pathwalker Sep 2020 #4

I want Bob Woodward to sell a lot of books Bucky Sep 2020 #20

That is exactly Trumps defense. Nt Jetheels Sep 2020 #5

There wouldn't have been any point for Woodward to come forward. Trump would have doc03 Sep 2020 #6

Of course he would say that. But it's an audio tape in his own words Bucky Sep 2020 #16

Trump could have taken this more seriously in his DAILY press breifings... ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #86

It is obvious, Woodward must be impeached for mishandling of the COVID crisis still_one Sep 2020 #11

You just don't have anything useful to say, do you? Bucky Sep 2020 #21

Please stop!! No one was listening to the experts, whatever makes you think they would have Thekaspervote Sep 2020 #13

Sorry, but all the Republicans jumping ship are absolutely listening to experts. Bucky Sep 2020 #24

Why didn't Trump warn America about the threat of Covid-19? ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #87

Exactly! If they weren't listening to Fauci, who was the foremost expert in the field, why the hell smirkymonkey Sep 2020 #68

So did trump. spanone Sep 2020 #15

Trump was very much lying on purpose, which Woodward's tape proves. LisaL Sep 2020 #18

Lots of people here seemingly heavily invested.. aidbo Sep 2020 #25

Nah, it's more about assigning blame to, you know, the fucking president. BannonsLiver Sep 2020 #30

Blaming Woodward for not letting us know that the president lied (with proof!) aidbo Sep 2020 #37

We already don't know he lies? LisaL Sep 2020 #42

I just think about all the questions Republican pols could have faced Bucky Sep 2020 #44

And so now that the tape has been released all those republican governors are doing something? LisaL Sep 2020 #53

I've spent 57 years watching "the process" work its slow magic Bucky Sep 2020 #59

does anybody think it would have made a difference? samsingh Sep 2020 #26

I do. Bucky Sep 2020 #48

Sigh BannonsLiver Sep 2020 #27

It was better to be released now, less than 2 months before the election jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #28

PEOPLE WERE / ARE DYING Skittles Sep 2020 #33

They did -regardless of what his intentions were jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #38

how many people are dead now? Skittles Sep 2020 #46

A lot of people are dead now, but Trump's supporters are still going to his rallies without masks. LisaL Sep 2020 #51

AND??? Skittles Sep 2020 #54

And maybe if more people had known his lies sooner, fewer would go to those rallies Bucky Sep 2020 #64

Guess what, a ton of people are still going to those rallies jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #80

I know RIGHT. We should IMPEACH Trump for his handling of Covid-19. ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #89

it's well known that repukes aren't going to do a damn thing about Trump Skittles Sep 2020 #92

I'm not talking about holding the repukes accountable. ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #95

did you not see what happened during the last impeachment? Skittles Sep 2020 #100

I AGREE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO TRUMP or GOP. ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #102

I absolutely disagree that people speaking up would not change anything Skittles Sep 2020 #108

If speaking up is all we have... ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #109

Why isn't Woordward being called to Washington to sit in front of Congress... ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #96

Plenty of sanctimony to go around though BannonsLiver Sep 2020 #106

I won't even say what I think of such a response Skittles Sep 2020 #107

This message was self-deleted by its author Skittles Sep 2020 #31

Bob Woodward is a journalist and an author. Marie Marie Sep 2020 #32

Woodward knew Trump wasn't doing his job while lying about it Skittles Sep 2020 #35

Obviously Trump is more sickening than Bob Woodward Bucky Sep 2020 #40

And I guess no one else could figure that out? LisaL Sep 2020 #41

on tape? Skittles Sep 2020 #45

So if it wasn't taped it didn't happen? LisaL Sep 2020 #49

IMPEACHMENT TRIALS SHOULD START TOADY. ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #91

He's already been impeached. LisaL Sep 2020 #93

But we have Trump on TAPE. ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #94

We have him on tape and so what? LisaL Sep 2020 #97

That's not the point. ahoysrcsm Sep 2020 #101

The President and Every Republican stayed mute Evergreen Emerald Sep 2020 #43

Maybe because Trump just kept talking... and talking. tinrobot Sep 2020 #47

I love nothing more than a good gotcha on Trump. Bucky Sep 2020 #50

Did anything change now that the tape has been released? LisaL Sep 2020 #52

Things don't happen overnight in politics. Not literally Bucky Sep 2020 #62

These are way beyond gotchas and you misunderstand how reporting works. tinrobot Sep 2020 #76

This information was available early on. LisaL Sep 2020 #66

The cdc was telling people not to wear masks for several months Sewa Sep 2020 #73
