Unless we had a preexisting relationship, I didn’t trust any journalist. And if you came from an outlet that belonged to what President Trump calls #FakeNews, I really wasn’t interested in becoming your friend. To those few persistent journalists from news organs like the Washington Post who wouldn’t give up, I was upfront: Sorry, I don’t do “deep background” and I’m using my phone to record this conversation.

...

So, when I met Michael Wolff in Reince Priebus’ office, where he was waiting to talk to Steve Bannon, and after I had been told to also speak to him for his book, my attitude was polite but firm: “Thanks but no thanks.” Our brief encounter reinforced my gut feeling that this oleaginous scribe had no interest in being fair and unbiased.


-----------------

Wolff never was granted access to the WH.

Except he was waiting in the office of WH Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

And except he was waiting for a meeting with WH Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.

And except WH Deputy Assistant Sebastian Gorka had been instructed to cooperate with Wolff.

1. In this article he seems to be doing to the opposite of that

Namley - he seems to be sycophantly praising Trump.

2. Doesn't matter that he's praising trump,

just as it didn't matter that guy a few days back (Brad whosis) was praising Eric and Jared: the effect was under-bus-throwing because one contradicted the official line (Wolff had no access) and the other attributed to the boyz sole responsibility for everything that happened in the campaign.

Just because the speakers didn't intend it doesn't mean they didn't schedule ass-kickings all around.

3. Doesnt matter he was under-bus-throwing

Logic doesn’t apply to 35-40% of the country, or Congress

4. Didn't say it did.

Doesn't matter what those people get, or don't. What matters is voluntary statements made in public about the inner workings of the campaign and WH.

The first advice lawyers give to their clients is to stfu. Both of these organizations are under scrutiny, as well as the individuals in them. These guys aren't helping the cause of those they are praising to the skies.

5. "Oleaginous" would be better used to describe Gorka himself.
