Woodward said that two sources had specified that Kissinger had personally authorized the taps.
A brief pause. „Almost never”, he said.
Woodward suggested that „almost never” meant „sometimes”. Was Kissinger then confirming the story?

On the desk was a one-page draft letter from the president addressed to the president of South Korea, terminating the United States–Korea Free Trade Agreement, known as KORUS.
Cohn was appalled. For months Trump had threatened to withdraw from the agreement, one of the foundations of an economic relationship, a military alliance and, most important, top secret intelligence operations and capabilities.
Under a treaty dating back to the 1950s, the United States stationed 28,500 U.S. troops in the South and operated the most highly classified and sensitive Special Access Programs (SAP), which provided sophisticated Top Secret, codeword intelligence and military capabilities. North Korean ICBM missiles now had the capability to carry a nuclear weapon, perhaps to the American homeland. A missile from North Korea would take 38 minutes to reach Los Angeles.
These programs enabled the United States to detect an ICBM launch in North Korea within seven seconds. The equivalent capability in Alaska took 15 minutes—an astonishing time differential.
The ability to detect a launch in seven seconds would give the United States military the time to shoot down a North Korean missile. It is perhaps the most important and most secret operation in the United States government. The American presence in South Korea represents the essence of national security.
Withdrawal from the KORUS trade agreement, which South Korea deemed essential to its economy, could lead to an unraveling of the entire relationship. Cohn could not believe that President Trump would risk losing vital intelligence assets crucial to U.S. national security.
This all stemmed from Trump’s fury that the United States had an $18 billion annual trade deficit with South Korea and was spending $3.5 billion a year to keep U.S. troops there.
Despite almost daily reports of chaos and discord in the White House, the public did not know how bad the internal situation actually was. Trump was always shifting, rarely fixed, erratic. He would get in a bad mood, something large or small would infuriate him, and he would say about the KORUS trade agreement, “We’re withdrawing today.”
But now there was the letter, dated September 5, 2017, a potential trigger to a national security catastrophe. Cohn was worried Trump would sign the letter if he saw it.
Cohn removed the letter draft from the Resolute Desk. He placed it in a blue folder marked “KEEP.”
“I stole it off his desk,” he later told an associate. “I wouldn’t let him see it. He’s never going to see that document. Got to protect the country.”
In the anarchy and disorder of the White House, and Trump’s mind, the president never noticed the missing letter.

Cohn and Porter worked together to derail what they believed were Trump’s most impulsive and dangerous orders. That document and others like it just disappeared. When Trump had a draft on his desk to proofread, Cohn at times would just yank it, and the president would forget about it. But if it was on his desk, he’d sign it. “It’s not what we did for the country,” Cohn said privately. “It’s what we saved him from doing.”

Bannon aludt pár órát, utána lapozgatni kezdte a hatalomátruházás dokumentumait. Szemét habbal, gondolta. Védelmi miniszternek beírtak valami feneketlen zsebű adományozót New Hampshire-ből. Hihetetlen! Négyezer posztot kell betölteni! Bannon rádöbbent, hogy legalábbis átmenetileg kénytelenek lesznek összeborulni a bürokráciával, vagyis inkább megnyírni őket – elhappolni tőlük pár embert, akik értik a dolgukat.
– Adja nekem ennek a valaminek az igazgatóját – parancsolta Bannon, miután meglátott valamilyen összeköttetést egy hatalomátruházó apparátusféleséghez. – Küldje az irodámba, de azonnal! – Már nem emlékezett az illető nevére.
Bannon elérte az igazgató irodáját.
– Be tud jönni? – kérdezte.
– Rázós lesz.
– Miért?
– Az igazgató a Bahamákon van.
– Tisztára mintha az Elveszett Játékok Szigetén lennénk – mondta Bannon. – Most hogy a faszba rakunk össze egy kormányt? Tíz hét múlva déli tizenkettőkor őrségváltás, úgyhogy jó lesz belehúzni!

“Twelve million fucking dollars in cash out of the Ukraine!” Bannon virtually shouted.
“What?” Mrs. Manafort said, bolting upright.
“Nothing, honey,” Manafort said. “Nothing.”
“When is this coming out?” Bannon asked.
“It may go up tonight.”
“Does Trump know anything about this?”
Manafort said no.
“How long have you known about this?”
Two months, Manafort said, when the Times started investigating.
Bannon read about 10 paragraphs in. It was a kill shot. It was over for Manafort.
“My lawyer told me not to cooperate,” Manafort said. “It was just a hit piece.”
“You should fire your lawyer.”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“You’ve got to call Trump . . . go see him face-to-face. If this comes out in the paper, and he doesn’t know about it, it’s lights out for you. How do you even take $12.7 million in cash?”
“It’s all lies,” Manafort said. “I had expenses.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m just a general consultant,” he explained. “I’ve got guys.” Many others had worked for him in Ukraine. “It all was paid to the guys. I didn’t take $500,000 out of there.”

In July of 2016, WikiLeaks and DC Leaks, another site known for releasing hacked government and military materials, began publishing emails taken from a Democratic National Committee server by groups of Russian hackers identified as “Cozy Bear” and “Fancy Bear.”
Intelligence about Russian meddling caused deep concern in Obama’s National Security Council. Over time, the intel got better and more convincing.
Should President Obama go on prime-time national television and announce these findings? Would it look like he was attacking Trump, linking the Republican nominee with Russia? Could it backfire and look like he was meddling in the U.S. election, trying to tip the scales?

A valóság az volt, hogy az Egyesült Államok 2017-ben hozzákötötte magát egy érzelmileg túlfűtött, állhatatlan és kiszámíthatatlan vezető szavaihoz és tetteihez. Az elnök beosztottai készakarva hiúsították meg azokat a lépéseket, amelyeket vezetőjük legveszélyesebb ötleteinek tartottak. A világ legerősebb országának végrehajtó hatalma idegösszeomlást kapott.
A könyv ennek a történetét meséli el.

Megrendítette, amikor a Timesban azt olvasta, hogy Trumpot képtelenség civilizálni. „Francba! – gondolta. – Ez nagy baj! A kampány széthullóban van. Bár ez nem is kampány, hanem egy vicc.
