[brooklynite]

One month ago Friday, an unidentified Trump administration official set off a White House firestorm by claiming in a New York Times opinion piece to be part of a secret “resistance” force out to undermine parts of President Donald Trump’s agenda.

The article triggered cries of “treason” from Trump and a demand that the powers of the federal government be brought to bear to root out the disloyal officials.

And then ... not much happened.

The investigation, which existed more in name than practice, stalled. A move to clean house never occurred. The author’s identity is still a mystery.

1. My bet is on

either Ivanka or Jarrod. They want to get out of Dodge before the poo-poo hits the fan. Too late. They will go down the tubes along with the Orange Mistake. That is IF there is any justice in this world. I mean Real justice, not the Kavenaugh, drunk kind.

7. No.

They are not "politcos". They are extremely business-oriented and as multimillionaires, political things don't touch their worlds (well until recently ).

2. Trump staged this imo to make it seem like he is being attacked . It is also an attempt to distract

11. That was my first thought on it as well, staged directed by trumpft

The "victim in chief" was playing us. It's straight out of john barrons playbook.

I can't belive all the airtime and breathlessness that the media gave it. But that's why trumpft calls it fake news - he's been manipulating the media for decades and knows how much of his crap they've published.

Any good liar puts a grain of truth in their lies.

5. Gotta be a Pence operation

Too smooth, nuanced, and linguistic for any front line tweeters

12. Someone else wrote it at the direction of john barron

9. Javanka are supposedly leading the hunt to find out whoever did this

The fact that these two jumped at the chance to find the perp should tell you what you need to know.

10. "All right; show of hands. Who wrote this op-ed? Nobody? Okay. Next item..."

I'm sure that's what passes for due-diligence in this administration.
