Victoria Coates, a former top official on the National Security Council, on Sunday denied new allegations she was the author of an inside-the-White House tell-all book by “Anonymous.”

“The allegations published in Real Clear Investigations are utterly false. I am not Anonymous, and I do not know who Anonymous is,” Coates said in a new statement.

Cleta Mitchell, Coates’ lawyer, wrote that Real Clear Investigations “peddled false statements citing only anonymous sources, despite on-the-record denials from Javelin LLC (the literary agent for Anonymous), the White House, and three well-respected members of the Trump Administration—and now Dr. Coates as well.”

peddled false statements citing only anonymous sources

That just drips with hypocrisy; And irony.

In her defense:

She claims to have three Trump administration people who back her claim she is not anonymous (I have not confirmed any names). She worked on Rick Scott's Presidential campaign, and helped and helped Dick Rumsfeld write his biography.

It seems unlikely a person with her background would write a book full of stereotypes about the President and Republicans to give bias confirmation to Democrats.

Has anyone here read "A Warning"? Does it sound like it was written by someone on the right or the left?

In D.C; the lines are blurred between 'right' and 'left' and 'democrat' and 'republican'.

The new way to look at things is 'deep state' and 'patriot'.

I was thinking “Anonymous” wasn’t even a real person, but in fact was created as a compilation of different people sharing information from inside the Trump administration ... sort of like “the whistleblower.”

Most Trump haters would flaunt it like usual but just took a different path to screw PDJT.

“Anonymous” claimed that if they were accused, they would deny it.

’In 2000, he earned a PhD in community health from the University of Nottingham for research investigating the effects of dams on the transmission of malaria in the Tigray region of Ethiopia‘

And this is how the Director-General of WHO was awarded his PhD, From the University of Nottingham. He isn’t an MD. So, people with academic achievements can be given a job, well above their expertise, simply because they are called Doctor? I wish there was a designation to separate MDs from PhDs.

Does that sentence mean anything significant?
