The New York Times scathing anti-Donald Trump op-ed, which the paper attributed to a senior official in the Trump administration, has inspired a parlor game among people trying to figure out the authors name.
Some online commentators are leaning toward Vice President Mike Pence based on just one word in the piece.
The unidentified author singles out the late Arizona Sen. John McCain as a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue.
The word ― which Merriam-Webster defines as either a star that leads or guides or a person who serves as an inspiration, model, or guide ― isnt that commonly used. But Pence apparently says it a lot, according to this mash-up posted on Twitter

I’m not buying it. I think this whole “Anonymous source” business is just a ruse to try to sow suspicion and cause disarray among the senior White House staff. They want everyone there to distrust everyone else in order to paralyze the Trump White House and sabotage the President’s agenda.

If a real person, then its use was to distract from the real idiot who wrote itThat's right. If a person has an unusual word they use a lot, everyone notices it. Therefore, it could be anyone.
Except Pence.

I doubt it was Pence, but if it was, then he needs to step down.

Could be one of his aides. Type that lost virginity on wedding night, loves war and does whatever his wife says. Real stickler.

The difference between a confidential source and an imaginary friend is the credibility of the “journalist” making the claim. For example, Bob Woodward only has imaginary friends.
So, either this is some NYT imaginary friend, OR a Russian collusion plot from the NYT. Either explanation is believable.

Not true.
They are just trying to plant discord and distrust between them.
Evil, fake media.

I'm sure The Swamp would
love to see Pence quit!
(Then when the Democrats take over the House, they elect Hillary Speaker of the House, impeach Trump and ¡voalá! Things are back to where ithey were meant to be!)

"I hope Im wrong, but like a lot of other folks, Im seeing a pattern here. The lodestar of current American security policy seems to be to reduce our burdens and minimize our involvement often in the face of hard evidence pointing toward alternative options."
