“two senior administration officials reached out to Axios to say the author stole the words right out of their mouths.”

And the book contracts and media deals when s/he goes public.

Maybe it's technically Kelly Anne but her DH helped her write it.

That’s patronizing.

I think it is Kelly Anne. With help from others.

Reasonable Republicans know that the country is about to shift to a hard core brand of liberalism and that Trump will be a one termer. They have to plan for their future jobs and the like in a radically transformed political environment.

Kellyanne has to keep her career as a GOP pollster when this is over, so I don’t think it’s her. Nikki, as others have mentioned, is in NYC so not in the thick of it.

nah she can make millions writing a book, as a TV anchor, speaker, whatever.

To the extent I thought about it at all, I always assumed the establishment in this country, as manifested in miltary and intelligence comminity and foreign policy elites, was overall a tiny bit right of center and would covertly work against a president who cane from the far left (there hasn’t been one yet—Obama was a moderate). It’s fascinating to see these internal machinations by the GOP against a Republican president.

On the other hand, all these people who hide behind anonymity or who have left the WH and not spoken up should be ashamed for letting this farce continue. History will not look kindly on them.

But maybe they know that nothing can be done, other than what they are doing. Trump was elected. All they can do is work for the country from within the existing Administration, until such time as the Administration comes to an end. Whether that is as a result of investigation/impeachment or whether the full term of the Presidency is completed.

I mean they can't just leave him alone in there with the WWIII briefcase. Somebody has got to run interference. If they know the deck is stacked against impeachment due to an immoral Senate not matter what a President has done.

Nope. I think her husband is the reason the cabinet hasn’t invoked the 25th Amendment—not enough votes in the Senate. That’s the reason for this op-ed. Unless they have McConnell on board, they can’t successfully remove Trump.

The piece says they decided against it. Both Chao and McConnel were at McCain’s funeral. She’s no dummy, and they are total insiders who would be privy to these anecdotes. They also have nothing to lose.

I thought of her too

-OP

I don’t think it’s her because she’s not in the White House.

Agree

I've heard a theory that it's a senior member of the Pence staff

Lodestar.

You are "terrified"? Good grief, take a Xanax.

I am actively terrified of this as well.

Me three.

You people are ridiculous.

If this man worked for you at a convenience store, you would have fired him by now for his erratic workplace behavior and his inappropriate work comments on social media.

This exactly. Trump ran all his businesses to the ground and now he’s running the country into the ground.

I too am really scared. Our country is extremely vulnerable right now. And Trump's latest tweet to North Korea is terrifying.
