If this is true, I think such people are the real patriots here. They are willing to work for this douchebag at the cost of their reputation. No one knows who they are. Must be tough to go to work everyday. Talk about having to deal with a toxic work environment.

That essay was insane.

My guess is that the author is Mike Pence and he wrote it in order to have evidence in the future showing that he didn't mindlessly go along with Trump. The author is clearly a right-winger who wants to be associated with Trump's actions that are popular with establishment Republicans, but wants to disassociate from Trump's crazier actions.

This pissed me off. F them all, the administration officials and the voters who put this unstable POS into the Oval Office because TAXES! And SUPREME COURT! You’ve all jeopardized our nation because of your putting partisanship above country.

It doesn’t make me comforted to read that “adults are in the room” making sure our toddler-in-chief doesn’t do something irresistibly horrendous. It makes me furious to think of that baby being there in the first place and how he got in.

Irreversibly not irresistibly.

I hope not, this is OP and I thought it was Kellyanne. The way anchors on the news networks keep talking to her and an exchange she had with Cuomo about 'why do you think I'm doing this?' from a week or two ago made me think of her.

It would certainly explain why she is still married

“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. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.”

Once Kavanaugh is confirmed, Trump will be vulnerable. He cut taxes, got a couple of conservatives in the SCOTUS. He's done what the GOP wanted him to do, but his utility is running out.

It's hard to fathom why they'd want to continue covering for him now, given his unpopularity. After the midterms, the GOP will probably sit back and let the Dems be the "bad guys" who get Trump impeached and removed from office.

I don't care who they are. If they know how unfit this person is then they should bring more evidence to impeach and invoke the amendment 25. Trying to to make him look sane behind the scenes only props him up to Rs who will vote him in next term. I understand they are trying to save the country, but what they are doing isn't going to end up with Trump losing support.

How many "Senior Officials" are there? Probably more than we think - point being it could be a no-name.

But I bet we'll find out within a couple days. Seems like things don't stay secret for long.
