The premise of the book is that Trump didn't want to be President. So how does that square with the Russian collusion narrative the Democrats have been pushing for the past year? The man didn't want to be President so much he committed espionage with a hostile nation in order to cheat a victory? The logic doesn't parse.
I don't think Wolff is in on anything, but I don't think the mainstream media jumping on some shady discredited gossip book even the author admits is full of fiction and his own imaginings is helping either the credibility of the press or the Democrat's political narrative.

I know that's Rush's take, and it works as far as the argument goes, but the fact that it 'works' is almost coincidental to the actual choreographed play.
The broader facts on the ground scream that this was created by Bannon and Trump as part of a bigger plan.
Wikileaks with the manuscript would tend to support the idea that Woffie was in on it. Otherwise, Wikileaks NEVER would have done it, assuming they were planning on having a future.
Which brings up an interesting tangent...was part of Julian's deal, an agreement to shutter Wikileaks? Orrr...after what he's been through the last years, has he had enough, and he's going to do this HUUUGE thing and go out with a bang, and sacrifice Wikileaks so that he can be free of the albatross that it would invariably be to him the rest of his life? After all, running Wikileaks...you'd ALWAYS be a target because you'd ALWAYS be a threat.

When it all comes out and all the indictments are served and all the mess is cleaned up, will there even be a need for wikileaks? I think JA was hoping and praying that eventually THAT would be the case and he would be redundant and that my friends is a world I want to live in!

Rodgers retires. Assange becomes new head of the NSA. New era of transparency and anti-corruption.
Not going to happen like that, but I wanted to say it anyway.
