My answer to the question "Why is anyone listening to Michael Wolff, isn't he completely discredited?"
The question was asked by Meade, who was reading "Michael Wolff Says Donald Trump And Jared Kushner 'Will Throw Each Other Under The Bus'" (HuffPo).

Speaking of snakes...
Believing and disbelieving is always about 50%, same as the sex ratio.
This is, of course, the problem with letting the anarchists tear down all the institutions.
"Because to be discredited by non-progs is to be credentialed in the prog world of fake news that serves prog purposes."
Isn't he completely discredited?
On the facts, maybe, but every righteous progressive knows he speaks to a higher truth.
Wiki - Truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.Truthiness can range from ignorant assertions of falsehoods to deliberate duplicity or propaganda intended to sway opinions.
When the government-aligned institutions fail, the people will make new independent ones. They do this everywhere else, even in the unlikeliest situations. Americans used to be extremely talented at spontaneous organization, maybe they can be so again, after they remove whats in the way.
Nobody's tearing down the institutions. They've just seen that they can't put their faith in institutionalized morality.
"“My evidence is the book. Read the book. If it makes sense to you, if it strikes a chord, if it rings true, it is true,” he said."
don't need more credentials then that!
For what a woman had rather were true she more readily believes. The truth is subjunctive.

This is, of course, the problem with letting anyone excise the freedoms acknowledged by the First Amendment.
The "Get Trump" Squad goes full JV with hapless Mr. Wolfe as their running back. The guy is only ow-tier benchwarmer status.
Mueller, however, remains dangerous at QB.
October surprise. My guess is that Mueller will time the indictments to do the most damage at the ballot. Trump will also be indicted in October, but October 2020. In 2024, you can expect to learn some disturbing revelations in his indictment of Mike Pence.
It's all they have. Even the Democrat "Memo" is not going to do it.
The gun thing will not work, especially after the level of corruption in Broward county seeps out.
Broward County law enforcement (Sheriff Israel), in conjunction with Broward County School Officials (Superintendent Runcie and School Board), have a standing policy to ignore any criminal engagement with High School students.
When the police are hiding current, actual and ongoing unlawful conduct as a matter of standard procedure on a regular basis, what do we expect the police would do with reports of potential unlawful conduct? Of course they would ignore them.
This is not a "mistake" on their part, the 'doing nothing' is part of the standard practice.
♦ Secondly, the 27-minute tape-delay in the CCTV system is not an "accident", "flaw" or "mistake". It is entirely by design.
Rotten to the core. I wonder how much the parents knew?
This made my jaw drop.
Watch Dany Pletka skewer both Helene Cooper of the nyt and Chucky Toad on the Trump/Russia sanctions question. Watch Helenes drunk laughter and hubris right before she and her fake news get punked.
Panel debates Russian reaction: Trump White House 'has done a lot'

There are lots of people who get their facts from Gwyneth Paltrow, Dr. Oz, Deepak Chopra and the like.
A guy from Queens throws his know-it-all son in law under the bus?
Maybe Wolff is confused with an episode of... All in the Family?
People listen to him because he says things they badly want to believe.
I totally forgot about this guy Wolfe. I think the media stopped pushing the book because it was not having its intended effect on trump's base and because it was so terribly written. It was also launched during the period the democrats where trying to have trump removed because he was "insane" and "mentally unstable". After trump held court with congressional leaders on immigration for a couple of hours I noticed the media's interest in the book flagged considerably.
Hey I thought Jon Ericson was the only incoherent penis who posted here?
It's simple. All they need to do is re-introduce Wolff as a Climate Scientist, and ipso facto all his doubters become evil Holocaust Deniers.
Though Kushner's financial circumstances are precarious, I presume Donald Trump would be willing to fund his legal defense, and therefore he's not as susceptible to Mueller's blackmail as Manafort.
ARM: "This is, of course, the problem with letting the anarchists tear down all the institutions."
Indeed.
And it only took the left about 60 years to do it.
I find it refreshing that someone clearly on the left as ARM would be honest enough to admit it.
After all, the "Long March Thru the Institutions" was long the lefty plan:
"The long march through the institutions (German: der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen) is a slogan coined by student activist Rudi Dutschke to describe his strategy for establishing the conditions for revolution: subverting society by infiltrating institutions such as the professions. The phrase "long march" is a reference to the prolonged struggle of the Chinese communists, which included a physical Long March of their army across China.[1]"

LLR Chuck was happy to bring up even more of Wolff's nonsensical and laughable claims as the basis to continue to attack republicans just last week.
Because that is what lifelong republicans do.
Feel free to draw obvious conclusions.
Gk1: "I totally forgot about this guy Wolfe"
LLR Chuck will never allow that to happen again...
Earnest Prole: "Though Kushner's financial circumstances are precarious,...."
What does "precarious" mean in this context?
Where on earth did he get the idea that Wolff had been discredited? Seems like Wolff uses sharp elbows and doggedly follows stories. He might not be companionable over a beer. But nothing in 'Fire and Fury,' so far as I know, lacks credibility. Nor, so far as I know, has any of it been discredited.
"Where on earth did he get the idea that Wolff had been discredited?"
Discredited with me, anyway. After he smeared Nikki Haley.
Yeah, discredited. Wolfe is reduced to shopping his book in Oz.

Wolff flees the studio and pretends his mike isn't working when being challenged on pieces of his book. Yeah, sounds totally legit to me.
