Will there be a tipping point that triggers Woodward to start releasing tapes?

Or will he simply start trickling them out, every couple of days, all the while gauging trump*'s reaction before deciding what to release next.

This is what will be occupying my mind while I am out mowing. Well, that and avoiding running over or crashing into something.

But he may play them for his publisher to confirm. That's what Wolfe did. Also Omarosa might have relevant tapes. That would be interesting.

His reputation exceeds those accusing him. Unless he has permission I wouldn't count on it.

They are likely interviews with staffers, etc. which can be brushed off as here say and bad blood. There are probably no tapes of the principals bashing Trump and he will likely not want to blow the cover of those who did speak.

Revealing sources is a no-no, but the poster above who said WOLFE's publisher reviewed his sounds good.

And now some are denying they said what's in the book. If he has those statements on tape, that's not revealing any source that he hasn't already quoted.

In interview that he didn't frame it as so and so said this. He put it as, these people were in the room and here's what was said. And he said--I'm not going to reveal my sources on this.

Guess we'll have to read the book.
