"I Know Who Wrote It". Michael Caputo on the author of a blistering NY Times Op-Ed
WBEN ^ | September 06, 2018 | Susan Rose and Brian Mazurowski

Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Michael R. Caputo says he knows who it is. The strategist and WBEN contributor says a woman wrote the scathing Op-Ed piece in the New York Times that has set Washington ablaze.

"I know who she is. It's a woman and I'm kind of cautious. My attorney is trying to keep me from saying her name" said Caputo.

He thinks it's an administrative coup. "Whenever this person decided to write this Op-Ed, they should have stood up with the courage of their convictions and quit, but unfortunately we have a coward in the administration's senior ranks" he said. Caputo, a former Trump staffer, said it's a name people are familiar with, adding ,"eventually she will be found out".

"If you read closely, you'll see it's very cleverly written. That's why the whole parlor game about who she is, is really entertaining". Caputo says the Op-Ed was written by a snake. "They use words like lodestar, which sends you directly to Vice President Pence. And then it uses words like off-the-rails , which sends you directly to General Kelly".

"The Times, I have my disagreements with", said Caputo. "The fact that it comes from a senior administration official gives it some weight. I don't blame the New York Times for doing it. They're certainly going to make some good money off of it".

Michael Caputo Interview: 10 min.

Kelly Ann Conway has been an extremely articulate, vociferously staunch supporter of President Trump. I don't think it's fair for people to taint her reputation with speculation about a NYT steaming pile of horse sh*t.

When I read your statement I felt the SAME WAY.

I think the LIBERAL LEFT keeps dishing out this FAKE BULL$HIT because there are still enough WEAK-MINDED A$$HOLES available that it becomes a worthwhile tactic.

I’ve never trusted her either. She’s a Ted Cruz person and also has that odious husband.

When I first read it, I thought sure it was completely fake.

If real it sounds like someone with something to gain, possibly angling for a job with CNN?

Woodward wrote the memo to lend credibility to his book. I’m just sayin’

I doubt HIGHLY it’s Conway... she made herself helping get Trump elected and realizing polling trends everyone else was missing.

This is likely a career person within the GOPe, and that isn’t Conway.

Glen Beck had Professor on and he determined it was Jon Huntsmen. a lot of what the professor said made sense.

“All of this speculation as to who it is plays into the hands of the NYT and the anti-Trumpers. It is just another way to sow discord and division within the Administration. “

Agreed! And just look at the gaggle of “Armchair FReepers” here adding to it. This is a thread with more than 120 comments! Get a life! Kabar is exactly right. Go find something else to occupy your time and quit soaking up FR’s bandwidth on this crap!

Check this story out and you will believe it was Jon Huntsmen too. Daughter hates Trump, served under Obama, brother owns a leftist rag, etc...

That’s interesting because Bret Baier hinted at that last night.

Byron York suggested it was Maggie Haberman who rewrote this.

The turtle got very uptight last night when Bret Baier brought up the editorial. Later on, Baier made a comment that maybe it was a woman.

Nah, I think it is N.Y. Times writer Brett Stephens, a talented but wacky writer or Glenn Simpson and his wife Cheryl Jacoby of Dirty Dossier fame.

that I wouldn’t doubt. huntsman makes me sick. his creepy daughter left fox (after she called Trump a tyrant). huntsman is one of only 2 people with R’s after their name that odumbo picked and odumbo would have NEVER picked a true republican, let alone conservative.

and...drum roll....Jon Huntsman is a woman! LOL

Me, either. I seem to be the only person who caught Bret Baier’s insinuation that it was a woman. I think the entire swamp knows who it is and may have helped write it a la Murder on the Orient Express, lol!
