They are laying odds, are they actually taking bets? And is anyone stupid enough to bet on a proposition which will never be established sufficiently to pay off?
Put your money on Jon Huntsmen.
Maybe this whole thing is BS? Anyone think of that?
A seasoned disruptor would wisely interject speaking and writing styles of others to send the Sleuths on a wild goose chase.
Well, The author of this op-ed clearly idolizes John McCain and denies the existence of a “Deep State,” preferring instead to describe the cabal responsible for the slow-motion coup conducted through the increasingly brazen “special counsel” as the “steady state” — an apt descriptor of the permanent government bureaucracy that has been weaponized against the president since early 2016.
Here is also an important “tell”. The author writes:
“It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.”
The emphasis is mine. A Republican would likely not say “his party,” but rather “our party” or “my party.”
I am of the opinion that this is likely an Obama holdover (of which there are still more than a hundred in the employ of the White House alone) writing as if he were in fact a disaffected member of the Trump inner circle when he is in truth a bitter refusenik still stinging from the rejection of November last.
We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure.
Pence's job would not be jeopardized as Trump cannot fire Pence.
Q flipped?
I haven’t read the NYT in ages!
I say the whole thing is Fake News...a HOAX by disgruntled DemocRATS! Journalistic “ethics” = oxymoron!
My bet is that the whole thing is fabricated. What are the odds on that?
Bob or Comey or Brennan
Long shot. NUT ed board
Easy! The hinder parts of the reporter, particularly below the waist.
Is the NY Times itself having written it an option? What are the odds on that?

It’s Mc-Conn-all’s wife .....
Just look at the game of Dodgeball he played last night with Bret. Now go forth and make a mint.
Its the janitor, Milfred.
Is he frustrated with President Trump's negotiating approach?

Its probably a White House receptionist. He or she is sabotaging the president by re-routing calls to the wrong department. Either that or an intern who is putting extra sugar in the break room coffee.
Maybe being a high level official means that they work on the second floor of the west wing.
This bookie will make a boatload if folks bet cuz he’s only giving odds for Pence and Cabinet heads. So where’s the odds that NYT made it all up and odds for lower level staffers?
