All the President\u2019s Men…Robert Redford depicting Bob Woodward<\/p>\n

As excerpts from Bob Woodward\u2019s book, Fear: Trump in the White Hous<\/em>e, were released yesterday and today (September 4-5), it dominated the news cycle, even overpowering the Senate judiciary committee\u2019s hearing on Trump\u2019s nomination \u00a0of Bret Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Then, today, the insider gossip of madness in the White House peaked with an anonymous op-ed in the New York Times by a senior \u00a0White House official who confirmed just about everything that has leaked about the chaos in the Trump administration. This is the first time someone high in the administration has said publicly\u2014though unfortunately anonymously\u2014that Trump is unfit to be president. Essentially, this high ranking administration official is saying that the president is nuts.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t read about it already, here it is.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a brief excerpt from the op-ed titled: \u201cI am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. \u201cThe dilemma \u2014 which [Trump] does not fully grasp \u2014 is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations,\u201d the author wrote. \u201cI would know. I am one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He goes on: \u201cGiven the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until \u2014 one way or another \u2014 it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe root of the problem is the president\u2019s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the synchronicity. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were given information by an anonymous source within the Nixon administration about the Watergate scandal that ultimately exposed Nixon\u2019s crimes. It led to Nixon\u2019s resignation and to prison terms for H.R. Haldeman, G. Gordon Liddy, John Dean, and several others. Now, 44 years later, excerpts from Woodward\u2019s book, which will be published on 9-11, sets off a firestorm of news coverage and denials from POTUS and his administration. Within a few hours, the New York Times<\/em> releases the anonymous op-ed, and it’s\u00a0 a confirmation of the material in Woodward\u2019s book.<\/p>\n

In both scandals, Woodward\u2019s role was pivotal. Both times the truth teller was anonymous\u2014Deep Throat and now \u2018Deep State.\u2019 The revelations in the Times <\/i>op-ed make Trump\u2019s earlier accusation that Woodward\u2019s book is fiction sound like a toothless defense that even his gung ho supporters would have a hard time accepting. But you never know.<\/p>\n

The question with this \u2018Deep Throat\u2019 source is why he\/she didn\u2019t identify him\/herself and use the op-ed as a resignation letter, and send a copy to the appropriate congressional committees. Surely, the person\u2019s ID will come out eventually. But ultimately that\u2019s a secondary matter to the startling and scary assertions presented in the op-ed. \u00a0In retrospect, on the book yet to be published, Woodward\u2019s title, FEAR, is certainly sounding applicable. He\/she assures us there are others who are also working to protect the country from acts of madness being generated by a mentally unstable occupant of the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

All of this reminds us of a now prophetic novel from the 1950s\u2014Night of Camp David<\/em>\u2014that posed the same question that many are considering today.<\/p>\n
