White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has "no idea" who the mysterious New York Times op-ed author is, but she knows what will become of him or her. The author, reportedly a "senior official" in the Trump administration, will be outed, Conway predicted on "Fox & Friends" Monday morning.
“Cowards are like criminals – they eventually suss out themselves because they eventually confess or brag to the wrong person, and I suspect that’s what will happen here.” -@KellyannePolls on anonymous NYT op-ed writer pic.twitter.com/FRiFqKmH4w— FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) September 10, 2018
The author, who she calls "unimpressive," wanted to be a martyr. But, what he or she wasn't expecting, was to be ridiculed by all political stripes. The author "doesn't have the courage" to come forward, but their conceit will do the job for them, she said.
"Cowards are like criminals," Conway explained. "They eventually suss out themselves because they eventually confess or brag to the wrong person."
Plenty of people have speculated, but the op-ed writer's identity remains a mystery. What we do have, is several officials insisting the op-ed did not come from their pen. Vice President Mike Pence, for instance, has been tied to the op-ed because the word "lodestar," a word he has used several times, appears in the piece. But he has repeatedly denied the charge. On Sunday, he even offered to take a lie detector test.
I would agree to take a polygraph test "in a heartbeat," Pence told Fox News's Chris Wallace over the weekend. A White House-wide lie detector testing, however, would be "up to the president."
The op-ed writer "should resign" for their "un-American" piece, Pence said.
"They're literally violating an oath," he said. "If they're that senior administration official, they're violating an oath, not to the president, but to the Constitution."
Both Pence and Conway suggested that the op-ed author is trying to distract voters from the booming economy.
The guessing game continues.
Bob wrote it. It is full of his anonymously sourced crapola
Suppose you had run a PAC that did very strongly anti-Trump ads.
Suppose your spouse regularly tweeted against Trump.
Suppose you were in President Trump’s inner circle.
Would you be a good candidate?
that’s an interesting thought
I wasn’t accusing Conway of doing anything intentionally, but her comments to Fox & Friends appear to be poor strategy. Instead of making the traitor more cautious in this case, giving the person in question more slack to make mistakes would seem to be wiser.
#20. How the hell did Hill get hired for anything in a Republican administration? Being one of Soros’ whores should have been the kiss of death for her.
However, Van Jones, another Soros whore, has a nice job on CNN or MSNBC and even appears on Fox, a big mistake. The Red Rat is still a Red Rat despite his fine, expensive clothes and calm words.
Avenatti had Stormy.
Jones had STORM.
Someone has some house cleaning to do and it should have started day one. This is why PDJT's administration and first term have been so easy to attack. Insiders left over from Obamao should have been rounded up and each given a pink slip the first day of his term.
I did not......
The other Bob
If we follow the Fake News development path propounded by the Wire, the hoax is the result of a progression of similar but less important previous articles.
Reather than looking to the White House for words or phrases, the analysis should be directed to works put forward by the Old Gray Whore.
My take is the nyt created the article from information obtained from individuals working at some level in government.
The author is the nyt.
OK - there’s just so few of us that I didn’t want to be mistaken for the other one.....
Did anything happen to Omarosa? Didn’t think so. Why does justice take so long?
Probably her HUSBAND!!
Probably her HUSBAND!!
KAC has been around the block more than a few times and is no stranger to the political realities inside that Beltway.
She, above all, should have been well aware what kind of message those words communicated to ‘anonymous’. Question is, was it a mistake or intentional?
suspect that the whole “anomymous” confession is a HOAX The Left, meaning perhaps the New Jack Times itself, just “made it up” to make President Trump look bad.
Could be. I’ve heard the writing sounds like the work of a crybaby snowflake. There you are.
That’s a good consideration and question.
I think it was someone or some consortium of backroom twits at the NYT, also. No joke. They’ve put forth the notion that it was a “Senior Official” WITHIN the Trump WH that wrote it, in order to sow panic within the WH, as we watch them all report on the progress or no progress in being able to locate any strong suspect. But many underlings have ALREADY been exposed as conspiring to frame Trump, so that’s a real possibility. Even so I think the NYT is responsible-—but wouldn’t/shouldn’t that slimeball Bob Woodward know? After all, this bears no small resemblance to Watergate and Deep Throatm who was finally revealed after how many years???
