*PING*. Never-Trumper mole in White House is discovered, gets their comeuppance.
I suppose she’s unrelated to former DNI chief Dan Coats (different spelling).
He promoted her right as she published this book?
McFarland defends her, she’s guilty. I like that Trump sent her to Saudi Arabia.
Derp Stater. Supporter of Willard the Rat. Should’ve set off alarm bells from day #1.
After reading the whole thing, I’m doubting it’s her.
Was anyone in the NSC loyal to Trump?
A Cruz supporting, War Hawk, Mole has been dug up and ejected.
Trump is wise not to create commotion over her in an election year. Plenty of time to terminate her after Nov. 3rd. The Swamp is wide and deep and its denizens have well-established turf to protect. Hunting them down one by one takes time.
I started to post this this morning but decided not to. They must have more than is portrayed in the piece. But, send her to SA and leave her there. Any bets that her pension will be a lot better than some of ours?
It is a fascinating read, thanks gw.

“Victoria Coates”
Is that where the term, “TURNCOAT” comes from?
Evil Brhymeswithwitch.
Ted Cruz passed off this Art History Phd as a national security advisor.
Swamp was NEVER,EVER drained. Nor will it be.
FTA....
...Rather than fire Coates, the White House has quietly transferred her to the Department of Energy, where she awaits special assignment in Saudi Arabia — far from the president.
Trump effectively demoted Coates just four months after promoting her last fall to the No. 2 spot on his National Security Council. The move was made amid a whisper campaign, started in January, that identified Coates as “Anonymous,” the person who wrote the Times Op-Ed and a subsequent book, “A Warning,” claiming to be part of a cabal of “fellow Republicans” resisting Trump and his policies from inside the administration.
The Washington press corps has for the most part been uninterested in learning the author’s identity. But the sources said the identification of Coates was based on circumstantial evidence generated from a months-long White House investigation led by sleuths within the NSC. Top White House adviser Peter Navarro, who works with the NSC on trade and other issues, also was heavily involved in the probe of Coates.
She declined to discuss the matter on the record with RealClearInvestigations and has retained an attorney, friends say, although several colleagues have rushed to her defense, insisting the White House has the wrong person. But a source involved in the NSC probe who asked not to be identified said there was little doubt. “It’s her,” the source said of Coates. “That’s why she was shown the door.”....
....
Also...KT McFarland saying there’s NO WAY that Victoria Coates could be Anonymous.
Hmmmm.
I would have to be convinced that what she did was not an act of sedition. If the case can be made and prosecuted I would have no problem with her being client #72 for the gallows on the commons.
