The walls were once again closing in on Donald J. Trump until they weren’t and now the latest in a long line of bombshells that the jig was finally up for the former president has turned out to be just another false alarm. Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald beautifully mocked those who took the bait in an epic Twitter thread.

Much to the disappointment of leftist Democrats and establishment RINOs to whom taking down Trump has become an integral part of their lives, the “7-hour gap” in White House phone logs on January 6, 2021, which was breathlessly described by none other than Watergate reporter Bob Woodward as the “clearest evidence yet of Donald J. Trump’s criminal intent on Jan 6” has now been dismissed as more of the same fake news.

Woodward’s Washington Post report that the J6 committee was investigating the alleged absence of official log call activity from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on that fateful day and whether Trump had been using a burner phone during the so-called “insurrection” may have given him a flashback to his glory days that led to the takedown of Richard M. Nixon nearly five decades ago.

Writing of a “possible coverup” that may have had the 79-year-old thinking he had tapped into the fountain of youth but alas, it’s been a long time since the young reporter was played on the big screen by a dashing Robert Redford in his prime and in a major bit of irony, it was Trump-hating CNN that yanked the rug out from under the establishment’s favorite scribe, reporting that there was a “less mysterious explanation” for the gap.

The “six pages of White House switchboard logs for January 6, 2021, are complete based on an official review of White House records,” according to CNN, citing anonymous sources and that “the January 6 log reflects Trump’s typical phone habits. He mainly placed calls through the switchboard when he was in the residence but rarely used it when he was in the Oval Office.”

Greenwald took to Twitter where the Pulitzer Prize winner roasted the hysterics – including Woodard – on a proverbial spit in a scorching thread, brutally mocking those breathlessly hyping the “cover up” that wasn’t.

“The NEW WATERGATE!! — there’s a 7-hour gap in Trump’s WH phone records on January 6 — trended for days and was declared by liberals outlets from CNN to Slate to be the worst crime yet. It was ‘broken’ by CBS and the WashPost,” he wrote. “You’ll be shocked to know it was a total hoax.”

“Bob Woodward spent 8 minutes hyping it on CNN,” Greenwald wrote, throwing major shade at the aged reporter. “Slate called it ‘THE CLEAREST EVIDENCE YET OF TRUMP’S CRIMINAL INTENT.’ Every blue-check liberal journalist account you’d expect hyped it for days. Was on the cover of the Post, on top of Twitter for days, with millions believing it.”

“All the same Twitter-verified disinformation accounts that always push the DNC/media’s fabrications did it here. It’s impossible to gather them all in one sitting. Here are just a few examples,” Greenwald wrote, accompanied by a collection of prominent blue checks that were compiled by Twitter user Jewish Patriot including disgraced ex-CBS anchor Dan Rather, The Atlantic’s Molly Jong-Fast, CNN chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju and Vox influencer Aaron Rupar.

He also tweeted out a link to an Intercept story that he wrote in 2019 exposing the ten worst “media failures” on the Trump-Russia hoax, the year before he left the outlet that he co-founded in disgust over its censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

“How many times does this have to happen — liberal corporate outlets push viral stories that are complete fabrications always in favor of Dems — before people see that the real disinformation agents, the worst ones, are those in US corporate media?” Greenwald wrote.

Greenwald then jabbed race-obsessed crank Elie Mystal, a frequent guest on MSNBC where he spews nutty conspiracy theories, mostly with a kooky racial angle, and who helped to promote the now-debunked “7-hour gap” hoax.

“Look at how viral this tweet went about a complete hoax, pushed by @TheNation’s @ElieNYC. These are the media’s congenital liars and disinformation agents and – after the Hunter Biden laptop fraud – I don’t know how more proof is needed to see this,” he tweeted.

Mystal responded to Greenwald with insults and yet another conspiracy theory.

It’s highly unlikely that Woodward or any of the other blue checks will walk back their hoax-mongering over Trump’s ‘missing” calls, they will just move on to the next piece of fake news that they can use to sucker their gullible followers into believing that his political demise is imminent despite years of scams that haven’t once panned out.

  1. Why is this still allowed to go on? People need to be shook back to reality as we have more pressing problems keeping us down. How about removing some of the criminals out of our government. I can think of at least a couple hundred of demo-rats and many Rhinos we could start with!

    1. Removing “some of the criminals” in government won’t likely happen until the next Repub President, after being sworn in, asks for resignations from, or outright “fires” ALL political appointees, and subsequently appoints REAL Americans for all those posts, and has a like minded Congress that will approve those appointments without allowing a lot of back-stabbing by the remaining DimMarxists.

  2. Trump is the teflon Don. Nothing sticks to him. How much more proof do these morons need. Everything bad they have tried to “pin” on him has failed.

    1. Please! Referring to Trump as “the teflon Don” implies that he is little better than the “Sopranos” crime family that did get installed in the WH.

  3. Bob Woodward and his cronies fabricated evidence against Donald Trump as he did in the 1970s against Richard Nixon. He and his so called deep throat made up a completely false scenario for which the scum got a Pulitzer now he is trying do the same thing again so he can get back into the lime light. He really should be looking at the world from behind steel bars for his gross lies!!

    1. Not only that, but he set the pattern for every petty glory-seeker to run with whatever tripe-filled piece of fiction they can in the hopes that they may also be awarded a “Poo-likzer”.

  4. At what stage does all this crap constitute harassment? Isnt 5 years enough. Thats why its called fishing and not catching, and they are not very good at fishing!🤨

  5. There are 3 kinds of Liberal, Communist, America hating, immoral, corrupt, fact hiding, non-binary, queer loving, race baiting, lying, DemoRat and RINO Republicans’: 1) They don’t care what happens, they just hate Original American Values – 2) Their ignorant of facts or just ignorant, – 3) They want the destruction of America by any means possible, and promote all the above agenda’s,

    1. The left has, since the 1960s, looked upon the US as the bully of the world, the robbing, without adequate “compensation”, the natural resources of “underdeveloped” countries, among other “crimes”. For those reasons, they have sought any ways possible to destroy what ever advantages the US has had over the years, so as to bring this country down to the same standard of living as “the poor” of the world. Over the years, they have, like sleepers, wormed their way up to the higher echelons of the bureaucracy, so that now, with an adequate number of DimMarxists in Congress, they are finally able to implement their long-sought aims to turn the US into a 3rd world country.

    1. No, they were just lying, that’s all. It’s ok when the media whores do that about conservatives. You know, freedom of speech and the uh, um, uh, ya know, the thing.

  9. I could have SWORN I saw an article where the libers were pushing for a “Truth in Media” Law!!

  10. Amazing how the leftist media hacks continue time after time after time to latch onto and hype a fake story, only to have it exposed as fake and just act like they never said anything and move onto the next fake story. IT’S NOT JOURNALISM.

  11. MORE Dem LIES and BS to try to stop Trump from running in 2024 where he WILL win with a LANDSLIDE !!

  12. Libs and Dems are rabidly stupid and will lap up anything anti-Trump to keep the hate alive.

    1. He’s the morbidly obese racist spawn of some hood rat who fornicated with her CHIA pet.

  14. The best way to describe the lazy and inaccurate, partisan reporting of Bob Woodward in his beyond twilight years is……WORSE THAN WATERGATE!!!

  15. Yet these same media banned the NY Posts’ reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop. There’s no end to their dishonesty and partisanship.
