I won't say which but several are friends and colleagues. This is NOT something that any of them would do lightly and it's at a bit of a risk because we don't do it typically. They are all solid professionals and deeply respected in the field. I just thought I'd throw that out there.
Btw I heard it quoted on Stephanie Miller this morning so it is getting a bit of run. I don't think it'll really make an impression until he's gone and in retrospect it'll be part of the record. But I admire their guts and know how alarmed they have to be to do this.
