Trump-Despising Politico Writer Conjures Up Unnamed Diplomats to Lecture on 'Rule of Law'

The Trump-despising Politico senior writer, Ankush Khardori, has found four, count 'em, FOUR, foreign diplomats who are remarkably all worried about the rule of law under President Donald Trump. Also very conveniently, all these diplomats happen to be unnamed. And Khardori milked them to warn about Trump on Monday in "‘We Still Don’t Know How Far They’ll Go’."

Was that quote by the unnamed diplomats given to Khardori in unison or separately? The subtitle warns "Foreign diplomats are growing nervous about the rule of law in Trump’s America — and it could complicate law enforcement across the globe." So are those the same unnamed foreign diplomats who are nervous or can at least ONE diplomat be named?

Maybe the Politico writer confused unnamed foreign diplomats with unicorns or leprechauns. Unnamed of course.

The difference between unnamed sources and imaginary friends is the credibility of the person doing the citing.

As long as the voices in the author's head are only telling him to write articles and not to commit violent crimes we are okay. For now.
