I can imagine it being a NY Times fake story....but here’s the thing, if they come to admit that...I don’t see how they can function as a legit newspaper anymore.

I’m just as likely to believe Trump himself wrote the piece.

Student could have easily uploaded into the turnitin library, then claimed to have a match.

Is anyone looking into Kellyanne Conway’s husband as the possible author?

Seems like he hates Trump with a passion and could be feeding on comments from Kellyanne when she comes home from work.

This article was very quick to surface, specifically mentioning the NYT article?

And look at the 2nd article and bio of the writer.

We’re Watching an Antidemocratic Coup Unfold (David A. Graham propaganda)

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/09/trump-mattis-kelly-new-york-times/569416/

David A. Graham: (Whence he came?) A Closer Look at a Newsweek ‘Reporter (7-15-2010)

https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2010/07/15/david-a-graham-a-closer-look-at-a-newsweek-reporter/

Coincidence?

You tell me.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t an essay turned into Comey’s friend Daniel C. Richman, who is a law professor at Columbia, and who leaked his Trump interaction memos to the Slimes.

All the evidence I needed to know that the op-ed wasn't written by a member of the Trump administration was the fact that the NYT didn't identify the author.

The Slimes loves to "out" any member of the Trump administration who says something even remotely derogatory about President Trump.

Whether or not every single word in that “Op-Ed” is true or a complete fantasy, as far as I am concerned, and as far as every single person I come into daily contact with, mostly blue collar working stiffs like myself, the bottom line is this: We don’t care. We simply don’t give a damn. Truth or fiction or a combination-we just don’t care. The sense of how things are going is overwhelmingly positive. Domestically, economically, internationally. We’re too busy working and living to play into the little mind games of those scratchers and grubbers, vying for power and influence.

This would be a big deal if the student essay had been submitted BEFORE it was published in the NYT. But it wasn’t, which makes it a non-story.

What probably happened is this: NYT publishes piece; student sees piece and cuts/pastes it into the USC archive; someone then claims either maliciously or mistakenly that the NYT piece is derived from the student piece.

The timeline undermines the student essay theory. Several comments at Twitchy make this point.

My prediction is it will be a gruesome massacre.” And why? Because, he said, “one side in this conflict has 8 Trillion bullets & the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.”

It is interesting that Michael Cohen, former attorney for Trump, is reported to have visited USC campus with his son on August 29 (of what year is vague, 2017?). So did Cohen’s son write the student essay from conversations with his father? Or did his father write the essay for his son?
