Who’s “anonymous?” On today’s Morning Joe, several members of the panel made the case that “anonymous” is Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump. First up, John Heilemann made the following points in support of The Conway Conjecture:
1. The “perspicacious” wife of Charles Pierce of Esquire detected an “unmistakably feminine” tone to the op-ed.
2. Conway is “very cagey; she’s the kind of person who would find out that Mike Pence used the word ‘lodestar’ a lot, and put ‘lodestar’ in to try to pin it on Mike Pence.”
3. Trying to set herself up to be the Carville & Matalin of the future [Conway’s husband is a big Trump critic], “this is a good hedge against Trump failing,” permitting her to say “I was working on the inside for the Resistance all along.”
Joe Scarborough and Donny Deutsch then chimed in to support the theory.

This is news? The esteemed NY Slimes runs an outrageous unprecedented attack ad with no signer and everyone says it must be true and then points fingers. UGH, no wonder everyone say journalism is dead, we now have only corrupt media and fake news.
“What’s the upside for Kellyanne?”
I don’t necessarily buy it, but Donny Deutsch did offer a theory on that, saying that Conway wants in the future “to be on television, in the communications world,” and that the op-ed is the way to “re-invent” herself.
Will these scumbags ever leave Trump alone?
If Trump had Obama’s press he would be on Rushmore,now.
If they could accuse Trump of treason and create a fraudulent Russian collusion investigation , they can do any thing.
That’s why I would tell Mueller to go arrest himself, he’s the one colluding with Russians.
Outrageous depraved hoax that threatens our nation.
It’s not her, this is a low level person likely prompted by the NYT to write it with a job promise on the back end. After prison.
I was leaning toward it not being an “insider”, but more likely, some rogue “journalist”.
But both Tucker and Hannity last night seemed to believe it is a real person, and I suspect they have more info about this than we will ever know... For now, I have an open mind as to whether “Anonymous” is a real person with WH access, or some other journalist or miscreant.
Why do you not trust her? I’m surprised to hear so many people suspecting her. I’ve always liked her and thought she defended Trump.
The Chan’s are all over this....
It may be a college essay, written by a student at USC.

Her husband is a big anti-Trumper.
Has tweeted numerous negative comments about Trump.
Makes me concerned.
Just yesterday, Pence was “Anonymous”.
I would suggest that her appearance on Laura’s show was textbook public relations, and was intended to do just that: dismiss this nonsense, and promote all the winning that Trump has fostered. That’s her job. Nothing suspicious there. This “anonymous” BS is probably fiction, meant to sow discord and paranoia.
Steve Schmidt wrote it, from McCain’s deathbed instructions.
Joe could not identify a single goldfish in a 2 gallon container.
As a detective, he isn’t even on the radar.
Highly, highly doubt its Conway... Spotting the polling trends that helped get Trump Elected MADE her... I really don’t see her going out and saying hey, I’m part of the establishment, and I’m fighting this guy...
If the author is real, its someone who’s part of the GOPe and been part of the GOPe for a long long time...
I told everyone back when he was running, he wins and he’ll have to fight BOTH sides...
The op-ed was designed to set up such speculation and sow discord and division among the Trump WH. Pure garbage.
I was thinking it’s her husband.
Most likely is that it’s completely made up, to sow dissension among the Trump administration.
I don’t buy it being Kellyanne. Tough, I read somewhere that her husband dislikes Trump, but who knows how true stories like that are.(?)
What a perfect opportunity for the left to sow discord and topple some of their hated Trump loyalists..
Imagine after someone is fired because of it and the dust settles... showing they were not it.
There is no recovery from that, you can’t say Oh sorry, we thought it was you...
Donnie Deutsch is a putz. That theory makes no sense, she’ll be in high demand after Trump anyway.
