Who could have seen this coming?
Less than 24 hours after Trump won the national election in a red sweep landslide victory, none other than Watergater Bob Woodward is trotted out on to CNN to claim that Putin might be "blackmailing" the former President.
"There are lots of things to watch in what is the new Trump administration, I just want to cite one of them," Woodward told Anderson Cooper.
"That is the relationship Trump has with Putin," the 'journalist' stated, adding that he talked to Trump's former DNI Dan Coats, asking him what's going on with Trump and Putin's relationship; to which Woodward claims Coats replied:
"It's so close, it seems like it might be blackmail."
Woodward went on stammering through an apparent script he was reading that "Putin is planning to do what he did in the first term. His plan is to play Trump."
"There is much to watch, particularly in that relationship."

Social media was, shall we say, less than impressed by Woodward's apparent 'journalism':
Woodward is not a journalist. He’s an intelligence community operative.

Yeah, it is pretty much just like the first Trump presidency. Putin blackmailed Trump into sanctioning Russia and blocking his pipeline. Apparently this Putin guy just isn't very bright. I'm just sayin...

They lie with impunity.
Why do they keep putting these decrepit old bastards on TV? Oh I know, because they will say whatever they are told to say because they don’t care… They are old.
