Sarah - Do You Really Think People In The WH Would Own Up To Their Conversations With....

Woodward? Why would they when asked - tell the truth that they did in fact tell Woodward what he says they told him when he interviewed them. And why do you believe them when they say they didn't say the things that Woodward attributed to them in his book.

It seems to me Sarah - that they have more reason to lie to the president - because they don't want to lose their job. Why would they tell the truth and implicate themselves?

Is the president that gullible that he believes that they are telling him the truth?
I would think that he'd be more paranoid than ever now that Woodward's book and this OpEd are out there for everyone to read.

and they feel that they are serving a purpose in the WH to contain Trump - doesn't it make sense that they would lie to the president and say that they are on his side and that they didn't make the comments that are attributed to them in Woodward's book?

If they told the truth and lost their jobs - then there would be no one to contain Trump. So they did the patriotic thing and lied to the president.

going after them, it means they know they actually had rats. The best action would have been to say that was all false, and couldn't have come from The White Supremacy House.
