If I didn't know any better I'd say that Woodward and Bernstein are creeping in on the Swamp and have through their contacts that may have quite literally deep throated, caught onto something, something big. Obsessed with Watergate porn? Perhaps they are, but the two iconic journalists from the era are back at it attacking Swampy from all sides. It makes one wonder, are the journalistic duo amping up their own campaign against The Swamp?

Carl Bernstein has recently been seen on CNN like a mini-Avenatti except with the smarts to stick up for the freedom of the press. Linking CNN to what the Washington Post was to Watergate (maybe bias because he's an employee, but I digress). Bernstein has warned us that what Swampco has done is bigger than Watergate, and is instrumental in wanting it exposed. Bernstein has somehow used his Watergate fame and capitalized on it. Maintaining a tight network of DC friends and colleagues that for some reason tell him everything.

Woodward on the other hand has written plenty of books about the inner workings of DC. His 2012 book The Price of Politics was particularly intriguing, and let you become a fly on the wall of some of the backroom deals of the Obama administration. Before anyone says he's a dopey libural, just remember that the book made him a conservative darling for a short while. His new book about the Swamp (rather this iteration of it), will tend to be a less flashy version of Fire and Fury, if he keeps to his writing styles. The book Fear, will be out ironically on 9/11/2018.

The question remains, do the two keep in contact and are they working together to protect democracy as they see fit?

If the result is the same, I am all for it. Pence resigns, goes to jail and then Trump follows. :)
 
Can they succeed where Wolff failed....certainly, they are not hackish enough to make his mistakes.

There actually weren't that many mistakes in Wolffs book. I think he just talked too much.

No, he is a lifelong hack....and he refused to get his **** together for his attack book.

These guys will do better.
