Look at what the left has done to this country. But do keep in mind the the New York Times. has a history of exaggerating the seniority of anonymous officials.
Bookies place odds on anonymous White House official
By David K. Li, NY Post, September 5, 2018:
Anonymous White House official: I’m working to stop Trump’s agenda
Story continues below advertisementVice President Mike Pence – and “the field” – lead offshore bookmaking picks as the White House mole behind the anonymous bombshell New York Times op-ed blasting President Trump.
Pence was listed at 2-to-3 odds on the site MyBookie as the fifth column official who claims to be working behind the scenes to stop some of Trump’s policies that they find wrongheaded.
The biggest favorite, at 1-3 odds, is “the field,” someone not listed among the 18 administration officials listed by the Costa Rica-based operation.
At 2-to-3 odds, a winning bettor investing $1 would profit 66 cents. At 1-to-3, a gambler wagering $1 would net 33 cents with a win.
“What tipped us off was ‘lodestar,’ “ MyBookie head oddsmaker David Strauss said of Pence. “When you search members of the administration (who have used that word) only one name comes up – and that name is Mike Pence. He’s used in multiple speeches this year.”
The other 17 named potential moles, listed by MyBookie, are: Education Secretary Betsy Devos (2-to-1), Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (4-to-1), Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (4-to-1), chief of staff John F. Kelly (4-to-1), Defense Secretary Jim Mattis (5-to-1), Attorney General Jeff Sessions (5-to-1), Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke (6-to-1), Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue (6-to-1), Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross (7-to-1) Labor Secretary Alex Acosta (7-to-1), HHS Secretary Alex Azar (8-to-1), HUD Secretary Ben Carson (8-to-1), VA Secretary Robert Wilkie (8-to-1), Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen (10-to-1), Ivanka Trump (12-to-1) and Jared Kushner (12-to-1).
Hours after MyBookie posted numbers, Canada-based Bovada issued its own Trump-leak odds and listed embatted AG Sessions as its favorite at 5-to-2.
He was followed by Pence (3-to-1), Kelly (4-to-1), Mattis (4-to-1), UN Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley (10-to-1), “Javanka” (15-to-1), Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats (15-to-1), White House counsel Don McGahn (15-to-1), Melania Trump (50-to-1) and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway (50-to-1).
Bovada listed President Trump, himself, as the potential mole and Times writer at 25-to-1.
The site didn’t list a “field” option, and the bet is only good if the Times confirms its source by Dec. 31, 2020.

How interesting that the possibility is being overlooked that this could be a purely fictitious story…

I wonder if the POTUS can order the NSA to give him the name of the alleged leaker (the real one, or expose a possible NYT + other interested parties conspiracy, to run a sham, fabricated story) with an executive order, sighting clear and present danger to National Security as it pertains to a disloyal (to the office, not personally to Trump) / subversive mole residing in the upper echelon of the US executive branch (i.e. The White House), that MUST be exposed and dealt with legally
Both the Patriot act and the Espionage act could be invoked in this instance as probable cause for such a move
its time for trump to take of his kid gloves and start Bitch Slappin some DemonRat Traitors, into complete capitulation

That was my first inclination. There is rampant speculation about using an analysis of the column’s phraseology and coming up empty. Remember, that is how the Unabomber was identified when his sister-in-law recognized key phrases in his manifesto and she and her husband alerted the authorities?

That possibility is high of my list. But hey, if we really want to identify the writer I am sure that the Chinese can identify him or her.

I have as much faith in the NY as UK’s The Independent. Really folks this is just a couple of days after has-been Bob Woodward’s book was published.
This is another attempt to resurrect another “Deepthroat!”

Well, it’s already been verified to be a MAN so the women should be scrapped from the list. Maybe it was John McCain’s final note sent to NYT before he was “eliminated” by military court for treason – not from cancer – [as Senator Kasich implied].

I have just been informed, from a very reliable ANYONYMOUS source, that the author of that anonymous op-ed is a ninety-one year old woman that had just killed half a fifth of Scot’s whiskey.

Suggest the anonymous source may also have been surreptiously slurping smoked peat whiskey. That’s enough to turn anybody into a choleric vampire.

No, she was swilling the cheap stuff. No heavy smoke Scot’s whiskey from Islay. She sticks to the three year old pipers.

The swamp is getting nervous. Even if this is true, it reaffirms many Americans who voted for Trump running on the slogan “Drain the swamp”. did anyone really think the swamp wouldn’t go down without a fight?

Most likely an in-house fake news job by the NYT itself.

According to Dinesh he said the story was written by a “professional” and not anybody in the White House. He said there is clues in the writing.
However, I believe the “leaker” is Brandon. Brandon Trump. I have my sources from the NYT. The janitor told me.

My money is on AG Jeff Sessions who has been nothing more than a recalcitrant from the get-go. He can be replaced by a rock, adequately.

Every story I hear leaves him out of this mess. It was one of his staffers that took delivery of the fake dossier and handed it to the FBI, thus lending some credibility to it. .

The ‘anonymously’ written opinion-editorial was written by the NY Times.
Even they know by now that, “NO NAME” has more credibility than the NY Times.

My bet is that the “newspaper” made the whole thing up. Or, like in mobama’s book, his “girlfriend” that did not exist was a conglomeration of all the many girls he dated. The anonymous source is the imagined conglomeration of how the times thinks people in the White House should think.
