Chris Whipple

We, of course, reported last Last week about the president asking allies questions about her and others around Susie that might not be the biggest fans of Susie Wiles jockeying to potentially take her position, seeing some vulnerability there, smelling blood in the water.

You know, the president has refuted this, and now Chris Whipple has a new article out in Vanity Fair saying to ignore the Susie Canning rumors.

One of the memorable quotes from the story is, quote, Wiles is like the Terminator T-100, just keeps going.

Which, this is something you hear about Susie over and over again from her defenders and from her detractors.

... who writes about, right, who writes about the White-

Yeah, I know.

The benefit that both Maggie Haberman and her partner had, can't recall his name, was that they'd been covering Donald Trump since 2015.

So they had established a continuity of sources that they were able to eventually tap into that provided them on-the-record information.

Kind of like our friend Chris Whipple, who did such an amazing job interviewing Susie Weil and getting...

The best journalists we know are those that get their subjects or their interviewees to say things you know they don't want to say.

... happened to me where I lost my voice, like, so crazy.

It was, like, an hour before I was supposed to do an interview with Chris Whipple, one of my second favorite guests to you, Mark.

And literally the virus took-

You had a good, you had a good story in Vanity Fair, man.
