I don't think it is Kellyanne. She fits in too well with the crazies.

so, a "senior official in the trump administration" wrote the NYTimes OP-ED?

who is considered "in the trump administration"? Is a millennial analyst in the EPA considered "in the trump administration"?

what is considered "senior official" by the NYTimes?

is "a senior official in the trump administration" the same thing as a senior official in the trump white house? I don't think so.

and, and, and the "senior official" feels things are so chaotic in the "trump administration" that this person decided to write an anonymous op-ed knowing it would cause more chaos?

come on..... I'm not buying this whole campaign to discredit trump the last three days. the tactics by the 'resistance' haven't changed my mind in any way about trump, the leftists, or the press.

From The Atlantic

"If the president’s closest advisers believe that he is morally and intellectually unfit for his high office, they have a duty to do their utmost to remove him from it, by the lawful means at hand. That duty may be risky to their careers in government or afterward. But on their first day at work, they swore an oath to defend the Constitution—and there were no “riskiness” exemptions in the text of that oath."

....

"Previous generations of Americans have sacrificed fortunes, health, and lives to serve the country. You are asked only to tell the truth aloud and with your name attached."

Conclusion: A self-serving coward wrote the article. Pence?

My bet is on General Mattis.


Should have had a poll attached to this thread.


It's not Kelly. He doesn't have the articulation to write that piece.
