Author of 'Fire & FURY' Book Admits He Didn't Interview ANY Of the Trump Administration

Michael Wolff admitted Monday that he did not interview Vice President Mike Pence or any Cabinet members, though some of the more incendiary claims in his book “Fire and Fury” are credited to Cabinet members.

The book is dominating the news cycle and claims to portray life “inside the Trump White House.” He made the admission on “CBS This Morning.”

As CNBC reporter John Harwood put it, many of President Donald Trump’s top officials are reported to have said particularly nasty things about the president.

But Wolff admitted to not interviewing any of them for the book.

“Did you speak to any members of the president’s Cabinet for this book?” CBS host Norah O’Donnell, asked him.

Wolff responded, “I did not.”

"Wolff responded, “I DID NOT” but "everything is true"???

What kind of BS is this? And this guy's getting interviewed as if he wrote a factual book? He says this at the 3:05 mark

Lawsuit. Of the libel variety. All day long.

Open up your wallet s**t-for-brains. This is a stick-up.

It’s always the seriousness of the accusation rather than the real truth that the MSMLSD runs with; they don’t care about truth if it slams Trump, GOP, conservatives.

Michael Wolff knows that the Liberal Media is gullible and stupid. How many books has he sold?

Wolff said the same thing in the intro to the book.

From the author's introductory notes:

Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. Those conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book. Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I believe to be true.

In other words, he has no idea whether it's true or not.

Amazing it, and this a-hole has the gall to say this book will bring down the Trump presidency? Isn’t that sedition? Sounds like it to me!

As well Trump should approve of it. After all, those most interested in protecting the deep state and global corruption are magnetized to the book. While they carry on about Trumpian outrages they are being taken down, one by one.
MAGA
Drain the swamp.
Pure genius.

In short, the book is about as believable as a $3 bill....

All interviews this fruitcake “conducted” were in the steam room of a DC bath house.

Yes she asked about cabinet, that title is in incorrect although I think cabinet members would be the people to go to for him to make such accusations. People in the “administration” could be anybody, from a janitor to a window washer as administration refers to the “Executive branch of government”. Who knows who he talked to, a security guard?

Well, he talked to Bannon. Even though Bannon was out after the election, technically he still had a job in the administration.
