Just to drive the Trump admin crazy and distract them and the media from something else?

It’s looking like a farce from the inter webs

They say they know the identity of the person who wrote it. If that’s true, it ought to be possible for the admin to find out who wrote it. So we shall see.

I agree, probably written by a NYT staffer and we know how deeply hateful the NYT staff is.

But I think that's the entire point of this, they dont care if they find out or not, they just wanted them to actively look and care and force them to answer questions about it.

It started a conversation. That’s the important part.

Yes. I'm shocked that more people simply accept that the op-ed is valid.

I can't imagine a world where NYT and the like don't make up stuff like this, so I always assume it's fake.

It was published by The New York Times - proven biased propaganda.


Sorry, you don’t get to print lies for years and then try to have people take you seriously.

Ask yourself this:

Why would a mole who’s part of a “secret resistance” within the administration reveal the existence of a “secret resistance” even anonymously?

For one thing, there’s always the risk of being smoked out. For another, why risk having your worked crushed if the administration should find a way to clamp down on it? If you really believe in what you’re doing, you’d just remain silent and keep on keeping on.

This whole thing reeked of bullshite from the outset. Probably written by a 20 year old intern at NYT.

The FBI and DOJ used a FAKE Dossier to enact spying on Presidential Candidate. If that is what our top LEO agencies are willing to do to stop someone who doesn’t hold their ideological beliefs, you can count on a top “news” organization to do the same.

Two questions.

Would your government lie to you?

Would the media/govt compelx lie to you?

Trump should hammer this between now and the mid tems and cut the media totally off. No more pressers. Just presser statements then drop the mike. If POS msmers have questions then submit in writing or by email and the wh will answer I’m due time. Stop giving the media fuel. Cut them off.

That was my first impression. Like, " what can I do to get more chaos into the Trump White House.?"

We all saw him at the Montana rally. Jabbering incoherently moving between topic mid sentence. Its the behavior described in the op-ed. Seems pretty straight forward.

Absolutely. Remember the disgraced Dan Rather?

So what you're saying is someone who isnt in the administration could have wrote it?

What you just said seems to support that.
