"The Vice President puts his name on his Op-Eds," tweeted Jarrod Agen, communications director for Pence. "The @nytimes should be ashamed and so should the person who wrote the false, illogical, and gutless op-ed. Our office is above such amateur acts."
The New York Times published an op-ed from an anonymous Trump official who said staff members are working to block bad decisions by the president, on issues ranging from free trade to military policy.

Oh, my. Just throw out the VP’s name because it’ll sell papers. How many papers would sell if they threw out my name instead? Yep, it’s all about the money and slapping down the Trump admin.
NYT still trying and failing!
NYT should definitely lose White House access. They publish fiction and call it fact. They can do that from their mother’s basement.
I never thought he did.
Pompeo spoke to reporters after a Thursday meeting in New Delhi with top Indian officials and said, “It’s not mine.”
He says “It shouldn’t surprise anyone” that the New York Times chose to print “such a piece.” He says if the piece actually was written by a top U.S. official “they should not well have chosen to take a disgruntled, deceptive, bad actor’s word for anything.”
Pompeo accuses the media of trying to undermine the Trump administration and says he finds it “incredibly disturbing.”
This is the Psy Ops / Phase B.
Mueller has nothing on Trump and will issue some report just in time for mid-terms. Damning Trump but nothing indictable. Hot air.
Plan B is to move to the 25th Amendment saying Trump is unfit.
I’m not sure, post Bill Clinton political fallout, any political party really wants to impeach. There was massive blowback when that happened for Clinton.
They just want to damage Trump, win midterms, try to set up 2020.
This is also a PsyOp as it was written by likely a low-level official. Could be a long-time government worker mad they didn’t get a raise. The article displayed a lack of understanding of Trump’s foreign policy and trade policy that someone fairly out of the loop would have.
The Deep State Psy Op would be to create paranoia and dissension within the White House. The next series of articles the MSM ran with is the give away it’s a PsyOp.
Out today are denials of Pence and others they are the ‘insider.’ CNN that night ran a story on 12 possible people it could be. It’s all a PsyOp to create controversy and chaos.
Trump has his own October surprise. The unredacted FISA warrant. THat’s going to drop and blow away Mueller and they know it.
25th Amendment is Plan B.
Steve Douchy threw out Pence’s name this am due to the use of some obscure word.....at apparently the VP uses.
But anyone could have picked up on that word and used it to implicate him.
They are just trying to cause division and suspicion in the ranks.
Like I would believe or trust ANYTHING the Slimes posts?
One’s personality and style is what it is - but I sure wish Mike Pence was a passionate and relentless advocate for his President and for MAGA.
The Leftist MSM trying to take attention away from the real culprit???
Perhaps it is a word his speechwriter likes.
This clever move certainly drove a lot of traffic to the Times.
After all, cui bono?
I do believe Pence is a stand-up guy. He’d sign his name to it or quit.

I haven’t read the article nor have I even been following the reporting of teh story much, so I’m really just talking out of my arse here, but my first intuition on this is that it’s probably another case of someone’s spouse being privy to inside information and exploiting that to use in half-truths and fictions for the sake of attacking the executive office and it’s operations.
“written by likely a low-level official.”
Or maybe Trump told somebody to write the article to knock the Woodward book off the headlines.
The article is a gift to Trump. If a real member of the resistance wrote it they are not too smart.
“Lodestar” is not an obscure word.
Let's have a put up or shut up moment called subpoena, that is if someone can wake Jeff Sessions.
Most likely someone from McCain’s staff or Romney’s staff
The only ones dumb enough to try.
