Anonymous author of Trump ‘resistance’ op-ed to publish a tell-all book (latest in coup effort)
washingtonpost.com ^ | Oct. 22, 2019 | Philip Rucker

The author of an anonymous column in the New York Times in 2018, who was identified as a senior Trump administration official acting as part of the “resistance” inside the government, has written a tell-all book to be published next month.

The book, titled “A Warning,” is being promoted as “an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency” that expands upon the Times column, which ricocheted around the world and stoked the president’s rage because of its devastating portrayal of Trump in office.

The column described Trump’s leadership style as “impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective,” and noted that “his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.”

The author of the column, which was titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration” and published Sept. 5, 2018, was known to the Times but identified only as a senior official in the Trump administration. The person has still not been publicly identified.

Trump lashed out at the anonymous author after the column’s publication. The president questioned both whether the author existed and whether the author had committed treason. He also demanded on Twitter that the Times turn over “the GUTLESS anonymous person” to the government “at once.” The Times did not.

The forthcoming book will list the author as “Anonymous.” Although the person does not reveal their identity in the book, they will discuss the reasons for their anonymity, according to people involved in the project.

Not surprisingly, Matt Latimer and Keith Urbahn of Javelin, who are representing this "annonymous" liar, are the same literary agents who represented fired FBI director James B. Comey.

Oh the article hints darkly at "reasons" why the annonymous writer must remain secret, but get this: " “The author feels their identity is almost irrelevant because there is scarcely a sentiment expressed in this book that is not shared by numerous others who have served and continue to serve this administration at its highest levels.” This is rumor mongering, "Orange man bad!" with a side order of "everybody says so!"

The writer notes that a firsthand account of a sitting president written in book form by an anonymous author is "unprecedented," and then hurries on to mention Deep Throat of Watergate fame.

Supposedly not written for money, the writer has not taken an advance and will donate a "substantial portion" of the money to truth efforts (propaganda to take down a sitting president) world wide.

So it's a pile on - with Jake Tapper at CNN posting about the same coup effort (they call it a book, whatever).

Anonymous Trump official who wrote New York Times op-ed has a book coming out

I don’t believe these people’s lies when they do sign their names to them. Why would I buy anonymous lies.

They’re in an all-out, full-blown panic mode at this point.
They have little campaign funds and just about the lousiest bunch of a$$-clowns ever to put on display as candidates.
They only have one resort left to go to and that’s a deep state wet work. IF they attempt that, every single one of em, from the dogcatchers on up, needs to be publicly hanged...with no hood.

More liberal bullshit for Americans to ignore. The only people who swallow this garbage are the Trump hating left. I don't need a tell all book about obama or hillary. I know they are both pieces of shit.

the Deep State Cabal has invested all of their time and money since they blew off JFK’s head putting the Constitution behind bars and in Chains.

The debt incurred in so doing will never be paid off until those chains are broken for all Americans and their businesses to dominate the world.

the psychopathic sociocommunists do little other than spread misery and ruin whereever they traipse...

The bomb thrower is too cowardly to use their own name? Does that imply they are still in place, undermining the elected government and drawing a government check for the privilege? Or are they afraid that much of their canards could be disproved if subject to question?

Trump needs to have an outside security company interrogate and polygraph every weasel in DC until he id’s and fires the rats that still infest the woodwork.

I hate to say this, but I suspect John Bolton could very well be behind some of the recent attacks.

Do they reveal that Trump had two scoops of ice-cream?

Unless the book contains a smoking gun WITH verifiable evidence then this is a giant nothing burger and gossipy piece written by a disgruntled employee - and possibly capable of workplace violence who should be removed immediately.

Maybe if these Deep State Sycophants were part of solution and not part of the problem, President Trump would have achieved greater results.

Personally my management style when taking over an operation is I fire the first person that sticks their head up, that sets the tone for everybody else.

They don’t seem to be in panic to me. The coup seems to proceeding full steam. The GOP is fine with the Rats destroying the President from what I see.

Somehow the president blunders into success after policy success.
