It’s often said that “follow the money” was sage counsel offered by the stealthy, high-level “Deep Throat” source with whom Bob Woodward of the Washington Post periodically met as the scandal unfolded.

The guidance to “follow the money” supposedly proved crucial in understanding and unraveling the labyrinthine scandal that was Watergate.

Except that it really wasn’t.

“Deep Throat” never advised Woodward to “follow the money.”

The passage appears in no Watergate-related article or editorial in the Post until June 1981, nearly seven years after Nixon’s resignation. It doesn’t appear, either, in All the President’s Men, the book Woodward and his Post colleague, Carl Bernstein, wrote about their Watergate reporting.

“Follow the money” was written into the screenplay of All the President’s Men, the cinematic adaptation of Woodward and Bernstein’s book.

Looks like Mueller's already in trouble, then.

Mueller Expands Probe to Trump Business Transactions

Trump will have to eat his words from February:
I have nothing to do with Russia

I have to think (hope) that even this craven Congress would react to firing Mueller by instituting impeachment proceedings, or at least a vigorous investigation leading to one.

Speaking of vigorous investigations, over on Earth Two, where President Hillary Clinton won a narrow victory, this is happening. --Bob
