Ex-Mattis aide evades answering if he’s anonymous author of anti-Trump book ‘A Warning’ (TR)
Fox News ^ | 11/25/2019 | brian flood

Former Pentagon aide Guy Snodgrass would neither confirm nor deny Monday that he is the anonymous administration official who wrote "A Warning" during an evasive appearance on Fox News amid speculation that he was indeed the writer of the controversial anti-Trump book.

Gallagher then asked if he was denying writing “A Warning” or simply declining to make the announcement at this time and Snodgrass – who sent a cryptic message “the swirl continues” earlier in the day – continued to sidestep the question.

Gallagher asked, “Why not just deny it outright?"

Snodgrass offered a vague response that it was “the latest in a long series of D.C. parlor games,” saying that similar things have been going on for decades.

The speculation began when David Kusnet, once President Bill Clinton’s chief speechwriter, penned a Monday piece for The New Republic titled, “Could This Be the Guy Who Wrote Anonymous’s ‘Warning?’” Kusnet argues that both “A Warning” and the author’s infamous 2018 New York Times op-ed “bear a striking resemblance” to Snodgrass’ own writings.

“Mattis, the never married, no girlfriend general, with a flair for the dramatic, refused to intervene in drag queen shows on ships at sea...”

I guess you were never in the Navy. “Drag” shows (they were called “Revues”) on board ship is a tradition centuries old, across multiple nations’ navies. Hell, crossing the Equator was pretty much a drag show.
