Yesterday the New York Times published an explosive op-ed titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.” The article purports to be authored by a senior Trump staffer, who wants the President to succeed, but believes him to be erratic and, of course, includes talk of impeachment. “Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president,” the anonymous author claims.
Does the so-called “Senior Administration Official” really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!

After my housemate and I read the op-ed, he joked to me that perhaps Mike Pence was behind the article, because he really wants to be President. While he was joking, as I turned to Twitter to see how the rest of the world was reacting, and Mike Pence was the top trending topic on Twitter.
Why? Because the speculation that he truly was behind the op-ed, and most people were dead serious. The entire case that Pence penned the op-ed is based on the fact that the op-ed writer used the phrase “lodestar” to describe the late John McCain, which is also a word that has appeared in Mike Pence’s vocabulary.

One liberal even found Pence using the word an entire eight times over the past seventeen years… some of which were likely due to his speechwriter.
Here's Pence saying #Lodestar eight times, going back to 2001. I'm just saying! pic.twitter.com/oWWtngCgpK

A sort of “forensic linguistics” may have identified the Unabomber, but that required much more than analysis of a single word that Pence uses roughly once every two years. It could’ve even been a Times editor who included the word “lodestar,” given the number of journalistic cliches that can be found in the op-ed that was likely added by an editor.
This NYT piece has every oped cliche possible. Makes me think the writer is an oped pro:
"looms large"
"bitterly divided"
"Don't get me wrong."
"unsung heroes"
"astute observers"
"cold comfort"
"early whispers"
"put it best"
"reaching across the aisle"https://t.co/WQoJcq0yAS— Carlos Lozada (@CarlosLozadaWP) September 5, 2018

And while everyone in the Trump White House will deny being the author of the op-ed, Pence was among the first to dismiss the conspiracy theory that he’s the author, given that the most hysterical liberals see him as the most likely author.
According to Axios, Jarrod Agen, Pence’s communications director and deputy chief of staff said “The Vice President puts his name on his Op-Eds. The New York Times should be ashamed and so should the person who wrote the false, illogical, and gutless op-ed. Our office is above such amateur acts.”

Above all, the op-ed only proves that:
1) It concedes Trump’s accomplishments are big.
2) By comparison, its complaints are small. 100% of them are focused on Trump as a boss, not his policies.

3) It confirms that there is a government conspiracy to thwart the president.
Either that or this isn’t a legitimate op-ed at all, which would further prove that there’s a conspiracy to thwart the president – it just includes the media too (though I think we all already knew that).

There is no such thing as a coincidence. This is ‘ deep throat redux’ Bernstein and Woodward wrote the ” anonymous’ op-ed screed. Would the ‘great New York Times Gray Lady do such a dastardly and low thing as to cooperate in this lie? Only a fool would think not and a liberal can’t think. The only thing the Democrats have left is the hope that the old dinosaurs of Watergate infamy will score another All The President’s Men. They won’t. Trump is the slugger who wrecks a no-hitter. Don’t you know that yet ?

Whoever this is, they are no John Hancock.
Have not read the nyt since 1974, when it was a job requirement. Learned back then that the rag was one-sided and slanted the facts. Like most media outlets the nyt tries to influence a naive public that views the media as experts, when in fact the average person in the street has a better idea of what is really going on.. Shame on the nyt, and shame on those who believe their dribble.

This is just another fake news story by the nyt–still trying to causer trouble
McCain wanted to be President so bad heplanned his funeral as if he had been one. Maybe in McCain’s sick brain he thought he was in the cabinet and wrote this op-ed before he died. Never can ell! Or Omarose or anyone else that has been relieved of duty at the WH and is trying to get even. Lots of vindictive people!

My Theory… The He/She is about to get OUTED or Ousted and decided to look like a Martyr on the way out. Me, I’m just looking at the Results… American Economy Great Again,,,American Employment Great Again… American Military Great Again…American Supreme Court GREAT AGAIN… We need more “Buffoons” like Trump ….and Less “Deep Staters” and their COUP d’SWAMP
There are various efforts underway to discover who did this, both inside the administration and outside by curious reporters, but I think they are likely doomed.
Whoever did this is undoubtedly an intelligent person, and he or she would have taken precautions against discovery.
The person would have had his or her notes re-written by someone else, so that there would be no clues in the use of words or syntax.
The person re-writing the author’s notes may even have been staff at The New York Times.
This would also provide plausible denial when members of Trump’s staff are asked whether he or she wrote what was printed.
This is just too high-level and risky to have been done in a fashion that would allow discovery.
It is simply a gobsmacking political event, and coming, as it does, on top of other embarrassing revelations in books, Trump will not be able to fully recover his composure. His is a monstrous ego that cannot take deadly embarrassment well.
Lots of ammunition for future hecklers and column-writers.

Of course this will be followed up with the clincher, some old ladies toast will have an image of Trump hanging on a cross.

Not an ‘insider’ . . . no “Resistance” . . . only Lanny Davis at it again . . . (Part of? . . . inside? . . . ‘SAO’?). Only familiarity this ANON has with the WH is on the Clintons’ ‘watches’ . . .
Watch as the Kavanaugh hearings morph to people like Booker (censured, but I read the emails) and Durbin (Laughing Book-giver . . . ) vote to CONFIRM (the emails have it . . . !).
The transparency is fantastic and will result in new visibility on these hearings. WOW! . . . and on PBS broadcast no less with the PBS crew supporting and the $$ protesters providing the lighter moments . . . adding 20-30 seconds to the affected ‘interrogation’ times!

It is irrelevant of who wrote the article as much that goes on in Washington is piled high with hyperbole and is designed to enhance one political position or another. To quote a past Secretary of Defense “Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns- the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

I have no idea who it is , could be made up but i always wondered why Pence never attacked the Trump investigation for what it is ” A complete sham” .
Because he’s a gentleman who is willing to let it ride it’s course. He doesn’t deal in hyperbole like so many others do.

This probably is some midgrade GS who has a “Deep Throat” complex leftover from the Watergate case who thinks that in 20yrs will write a book. Actually, to try and bring down a duly elected President is treason.
So if the writer had said something like “this is a teachable moment” would Obama be the suspect? These people are devious and use various devices to throw you off of their trail all the time. In any case it is doubtful it is only one person. When they make up these lies and spread propaganda it is by committee they coach and encourage each other and double check the work to try to make sure it does not trace back to them.
