Finding Anonymous Op-Ed piece Author Like Trying to Nail Jelly to the Wall
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/09/18 | Judi McLeod

Posted on 09/09/2018 7:07:10 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

The ‘Masked Man’ was—just as it usually is—the disingenuous New York Times

The unidentified “prominent Republican donor” reportedly offering a $50,000 reward for the identity of the person who claims to be a high-ranking member of President Donald Trump’s administration who penned an anonymous Op-Ed piece for the New York Times and claimed they were working to actively protect the country from some of the president’s actions, should save his/her/their money for a more worthy cause.

While there are untold numbers of Barack Obama holdovers surrounding the Trump administration eagerly waiting to plunge a knife into the president’s back, the anonymous Op-Ed New York Times piece was done in such a way that the writer could never be identified.

What comes next a new enquiry from the left "due to the seriousness" of the charges?

Change this to bammy’s administration and the entire left is calling for the head of the writer.

This is a hoax conducted by the New York Times, very likely by Sarah Jeong the new hire to the editorial board.

Until they produce hard proof otherwise, no other option should even come under consideration.

To the NYT: Prove who the author is or we will assume it is you... and press for criminal charges for perpetrating this fraud.

I think there's a significant chance that this was a complete put-on, created out of whole cloth by someone or some small group that wasn't in the administration at all. I'm surprised it has gotten so much publicity, and that the administration has reacted to it so strongly in a public manner.

I could understand them reacting strongly in private, trying to figure out who could have written it. But reacting publicly gives this concoction too much credibility.

Actually, I would suggest it’s a ten-percent chance that Trump himself wrote the piece. We may well discover that the Times has no real idea who the contributor is.

It’s probably a compilation of a bunch of the White House presstitudes.

Convene a grand jury. Bring them up there every one. Get serious about treason for a change.

Desperate people do and believe desperate things. They were so sure that Trump would never be the nominee, but he was. They were sure he would never get elected, but he did. They were sure that he would never be sworn in, but he was. They were sure he wouldn’t make 6 months in office, but he did. They had covens of witches trying cast spells to through him out but it didn’t work. They were sure the Russian collusion, his tweets, Stormy Daniels, obstruction, and other manufactured scandals would force him to step down, but it didn’t. They are desperate, they will believe anything at this point if it gives them even a glimmer of hope it will force Trump out.

EXACTLY. They won't be able to find the White House staffer who wrote it because it was written by the Times itself. Bet on it.

It is probably McCain’s last testament.

Odd that it was published right after his death.

Fun fact that most people aren’t aware of: Sarah Jeong supported BOTH the Rolling Stone-UVA rape hoax AND the Duke Lacross team rape hoax.

And both times she continued to support the hoaxes AFTER they had been exposed and confessed as such!

Don’t think people appreciate just how breathtaking this hire was. It’s the newspaper equivalent of a bank putting Charles Ponzi on its Board of Directors.

HAHA...Laura Ingraham said on her Friday show, President Trump should tell the NYT HE wrote it...

Smiling. Pres Trump is quite capable of doing just that. Speculation is ongoing but this is a runner up.

It’s all because Trump is a threat to the bipartisan fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.

What proof did the Anon writer provide that they actually have a job in the government let alone the White House?

Yes, and an Anonymous Op-Ed piece has about as much significance as jelly on the wall.
