The author’s own words strongly suggest subterfuge. (NYT Anonymous Hit Piece)

The most surprising aspect of the furor surrounding the infamous unsigned New York Times Op-Ed, ostensibly written by a member of the Trump administration, is that anyone believes its author is a senior official. Assuming this person isnt an employee of the Times, and it is by no means unknown for the Gray Ladys journalists to fabricate quotes and attribute them to anonymous officials, the author of this hit piece is at most a mid-level staffer. Indeed, if this character is actually employed in the Trump administration, it is almost certainly at a level of insignificance verging on invisibility.

Rumor is circulating it it McConnell’s wife- Elaine Cho - head of the Department of Transportation.

Hoax. That has been my take from Day One. Writing analysis said it was journalistic style throughout. Had nothing new; just the same old nonsense.

Rumor is circulating it it McConnells wife- Elaine ChoThat would fit with what Michael Caputo is saying, that the writer is a woman whose husband is powerful in another branch of government. Cho is in the executive and McConnell in the legislative. But if it's Cho, then McConnell knew about it.

I stand by my contention that the nyt wrote the article, until proven wrong.

The formulation of our Trump-insider character was based on an amalgamation of noble personalities from the worlds of history, literature, and cinema. We created this character not to deceive or generate so-called fake news, but to initiate a dialog that is long overdue and necessary, as a matter of course, to address the very real crisis we face as a nation.
Editors, NY Times

what troubles me about picking out any one person is their location.
How does Chao cause much damage when DOT offices are not in the WH ?
She can ignore directives to the DOT, but what is that ? and how long can that be done before being found out ?
assuming this NYT op-ed is true - and I am still not buying it (in Bob Woodward's book, he talks about people removing stuff from the president's desk.)
it would seem to me the actual damage doers would be grunts (Obama left-overs\secretaries and admins) not high level people.

What about Kellyanne’s husband? He hates Trump with a passion and could be feeding off Kellyanne’s comments when she comes home from work...

One of the cook’s busboys, or dishwashers?

Dude hates Trump because he cannot accept the reality that his wife is working for a man who, by comparison, makes him look like a child. Common psychotic reaction of insecure males.
