On Wednesday afternoon, The New York Times posted an anonymous op-ed titled: "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."
The piece is remarkable. Identified only as a "senior official in the Trump administration," the piece lays out how the author -- as well as other colleagues within the administration -- are waging a semi-open campaign to keep the President from doing too much damage to the nation.
"Many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations," the author writes.
Beyond the way the author is identified, there are very few clues about who it could be. And the description used by the Times -- "a senior official in the Trump administration" -- is broad enough to include virtually anyone in the Trump White House, a Cabinet official, undersecretary or someone on, say, the National Security Council.
Beyond that, the only hint we have comes from this tweet of the op-ed, from The New York Times social team: "In an anonymous Op-Ed, a senior Trump administration official says he and others are working to frustrate the president's 'misguided impulses.'"
Later, a spokeswoman for the Times said that the tweet was a mistake. "The tweet was drafted by someone who is not aware of the author's identity, including the gender, so the use of 'he' was an error," Danielle Rhoades Ha said....

I was going to read the article, but then I saw the source. I’ve had my fill of fake news for the day.
Is Sarah Jeong in the list?
Fire the author and all of the author’s co-conspirators.
How about no one.
Liberal NYT’s Unicorns don’t have names.
Having no respect for the truth and having no shame, I wouldn't put it past them.
Sorry, but I won’t read anything with CNN’s name.
You’d think a “CNN Editor at Large” would at least acknowledge that, in journalistic parlance, “senior” in no way equals “cabinet level” or “famous.” It basically means “anyone above an intern.”
Add the first lady and Ivanka.
This is such crap.. Ivanka and Melania are on the list.
Disinformation campaign...
Why now? What do they fear?
Huntsman, as National Review claims.
I was thinking only a crazy woman would write a cowardly Op Ed about an from within an administration. A young, stupid, snowflake.
nyt’s did this article because the woodward lying book wasn’t getting traction. Next up micheal moore film.
I said it was him in several posts earlier. It makes perfect sense. He thinks he set policy, not politicians. His daughter hates Trump. He served for Obama. His brother owns a liberal rag. And he ran for President as a RINO.
13 people who might be the author of The New York Times op-ed
Did they include the obvious one?
THE NEW YORK TIMES
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)
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway (50-to-1).
Bovada listed President Trump, himself, as the potential mole and Times writer at 25-to-1.
(LOL!)
Huntsmen is suspiciously off the list.
He also loves McCain.
My guess is that it is someone about to be fired and they want to go out like a martyr OR someone about to quit and wants a gig on CNN.
