Watergate Journalist Bob Woodward Admits Hes Had Presidents Give Him Classified Information

We Are Change

Watergate journalist and Washington Post editor Bob Woodward admitted to Foxs’ Bill O’Reilly that Presidents and Pentagon personnel had leaked him information in the past.

O’Reilly and Woodward got into a heated exchange over the recent leaks of President Trump’s administration a video by Red Pill showed.

“The President’s conversations with the Mexican President and Australian Prime Minister were leaked, were leaked do you consider that a legitimate form of reportage?” O’Reilly asked Woodward.

Woodward responded, “First off you are in error when you think that some how we passively sit around and wait for leaks we go and talk to people.”

“I didn’t say that I didn’t assume that I asked you a direct question those two conversations from a President to two foreign leaders were leaked by somebody who had access to them do you consider that a legitimate reportage?” O’Reilly reiterated his question.

“Because it informed people of what happened those were legitimate stories, and they were verified,” Woodward said.

O’Reilly interrupted, “It might have put the country in jeopardy, it certainly whipped up anti-American sentiment in Mexico.”

“Well look we tried to report the news  and the second and third [inaudbile] is not something that can be controlled.”

O’Reilly then interrupted a second time: “I want you to be clear I’m not disparaging you or your paper I want to know who the leakers are and what agencies can not control these people and I think you do too.”

“You would be surprised I have had President’s in Republican and Democratic administrations provide information that is technically classified.”

O’Reilly interrupted a third time: “yeah they say it’s off the record don’t print it.”

“No no it’s not this is what happened, check it out this is the way it can be reported and dealt with. Bill, you know that it happens all the time and the question here is that can it be done in a careful and fair way and I believe it has.”

O’Reilly then cut to a commercial break.
