The outrage at Woodward I think is kind of strange too. I mean, he's not the president, he's a journalist. The job of the president comes with a higher responsibility in terms of keeping the American public safe, so passing the blame over to Woodward seems like deflection at best.
The really interesting thing is that now there isn't a "he said, she said" kind of a way to juggle what he told the public and the policies he promoted versus what he told Woodward when no one else was looking. It's all laid out bare. And for anyone still parroting his talking points about it being a hoax or about it not being that bad, the only reason those talking points exist are because he put them out there, and obviously he knew it wasn't true, so how will people try and resolve the cognitive dissonance that comes along with hearing what he said on those tapes after spending the last several months believing the BS he was selling them? That's what I'm curious to see.
