If the “senior official” who published an anonymous op-ed bashing President Donald Trump in the New York Times on Wednesday was hoping for accolades from the opposition, he or she must have been sorely disappointed, as the media’s leftists and Never Trumpers accused the author of cowardice for failing to take the extra step of removing Trump altogether. The author claimed to be part of the “resistance” inside the White House. But the real “resistance” wasn’t having it.
Jessica Roy, an anti-Trump writer at the Los Angeles Times, attacked the author in an op-ed titled, “No, anonymous Trump official, you’re not ‘part of the resistance.’ You’re a coward.” She accused the author of “enabling” the president:
Nobody who’s part of the real resistance should be celebrating this. If you work in this administration and carry out any part of Trump’s agenda, you are enabling him, not undermining him. If we have a president so incompetent that his most trusted advisors have to play peekaboo to preserve national security, then those people should be working to get him out of office, not just spare us from his cruelest impulses.
…
If they really believe there’s a need to subvert the president to protect the country, they should be getting this person out of the White House. But they’re too cowardly and afraid of the possible implications. They hand-wave the notion thusly:
“Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis.”
How is it that utilizing the 25th Amendment of the Constitution would cause a crisis, but admitting to subverting a democratically elected leader wouldn’t?

This “official” probably does not exist. It is more likely a writer at NYT that made up a fictitious person to slam the President.
“failing to take the extra step of removing Trump altogether”
How??
by killing him of course that was the plan from day one..to assassinate him
The NYSlimes needs to prove that the op-ed was real.
Get out the Polygraph
great question
“You’re a coward”
So she agrees with Trump!
Note the NYT doesn’t claim this guy works in the White House. Could be the Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Agriculture or something.
I’m reading online/twitter that Tucker Carlson knows who it is and is waiting on WH confirmation. ..
This isn’t fake.
This is just an attempt to stalk the President. They need phony sources to back up Bernstein’s phony book. Chuck you Tod called on the lib/commie media to go full psycho on the President and that is what is happening.
Or the NY Times got it from some anonymous Twitter source blabbering what someone supposedly said or a similar instance. Nutty dubious hearsay. Anything goes with them including what they see in their deranged dreams.
It’s so apparently obviously after 3 years since the day Trump announced he would seek the presidency, that these leftists all live in alternative universe of their own making.
I bet that leaves a bitter taste in her mouth.
It’s dawning on them that the times just justified everything Press said about the Deep State.
PT.
The President had better pull their WH press creds tonight!
So far there is no "author," there is only the new york slimes and IMO there never will be an actual "author."
This appears to have been written by two to three sjw with the maturity of an average 16 yo.
The author claimed to be part of the “resistance” inside the White House.
Should we call this a "John Connor" attack?
You know, a work of fiction?
.
Amen.
Polygraphs are stupidly easy to fool by anyone who has even basic self-hynoptism knowledge, biofeedback control (really the same thing), and some other basic skills. People who really know what they are doing can make the readouts look however they want: lies as truth or truth as lies. I’m not even really that good, and I can do that.
The results shouldn’t be admissible anywhere.
Heck, I could teach someone how to create meaningless polygraph readings with a thumb tack in a their shoe, a sugar cube, and a bit of salt.
Yes, it’s really that easy to fool.
Our local talk show mc, Ken Matthews, who subs for El Rushbo, said on his show today that like every other newspaper office, NYT is a sieve, and it’s just a matter of time until the cowardly backstabber’s identity leaks out.
