Anonymous Will Reveal Their Identity
November 26, 2019 at 9:06 pm EST By Taegan Goddard


The anonymous White House official who has written a bombshell book about President Trump’s tenure says they will not remain anonymous forever, during a public interview on Reddit.

Said the person: “As far as anonymity is concerned, I will not keep my identity shrouded in secrecy forever. I am not afraid to use my own name to express concern about the current occupant of the Oval Office. Donald Trump has not heard the last of me. There is more to come.”

They added: “Other people who are currently serving, and who have left, are also considering adding their voices before votes are cast in 2020. We talk about this with some regularity.”

Kellyanne is Anonymous in conjunction with George, I guess it may not mean anything.
The term lodestar was in the article, the book and used last night in the AMA, Pence was speaking at the rally while the AMA was in session, not that I ever really thought it was Pence.

3. Hope we're not being sandbagged by some QAnon-type fantasy creation.

That would be extremely disappointing, but these days, I take *nothing* for granted.

I don't know why skeptics in America are so maligned. But I'd rather have a skeptic on my team then an easily manipulated believer.

With others to expose this treasonous criminal. Its hurting this country every day he remains in office, and raises our National security risks, and for people like putin and Kim ,and Erdogan to take advantage of us to weaken us with. trump and republicans are openly promoting putins russian propaganda, and knowing its false, and still promoting lies for him openly now. Do supporters realize they are supporting putin by supporting trump and the republicans now? They are supporting corruption ,murdering opposition and reporters, and criminal organizations. Don't they understand that? trump is a crook, unless you believe his bs and lies. Then you're a fool if you do. They'll be uncovering crimes he's part of for years, and it will be eye opening every time its exposed how criminal he's been.

spoken up sooner, maybe this country would be in better shape. The damage that he has done in 3 short years is astounding. The gop HAS to pay for propping this traitor up. It will take many, many years to "right the ship of state" A democratic president will have obstruction daily, unless we can elect other democratic representatives. The gop has shown exactly what their goals are, and it is nothing good for working class citizens. Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey, Nunes the traitor and Gym Jordan all need to be tossed out. Seems that Kevin McCarthy forgot the pearl of advice given to him by Paul Ryan to "keep it in the family" He speculated that Putin was paying tRump and Rohrabacher. Now he is openly repeating Russian propaganda in his re-election campaign. There is not a single gop member who is deserving of respect.

could this be Rudy, using that blackmail evidence he keeps touting? He could not have written this book, but could have a ghostwriter. Maybe this is a veiled threat to keep tRump in line, since he is throwing Rudy under the bus. Rudy could drag tRump along for the ride.

10. I really don't think it is Rudy

It appears he has been running around the world promoting his own interests for quite some time. I don't see him doing the "right thing" except for Rudy.

about our country, he/she would have already come forward. This is nothing more than an anonymous money grab. No mere book is going to damage tRump at this point. He has survived what in ordinary times would have been catastrophic unsurvivable damage already. Only a resounding defeat in the 2020 election will excise this malignancy.

11. Bolton is a more serious guess on my part. That or one of the fired military generals. Maybe...

one of the many fired Chiefs of Staff. He has created lots of long knives, for sure!

16. "Anonymous" is a current WH staffer

That excludes Bolton, Mattis, Priebus and others who have left. Nick Ayers, who is Pence's chief of staff, is a possibility, but my money's on the Conways. Kellyanne supplied the info and George wrote the op-ed and the book. Both are in good standing with the conservative establishment and neither would be particularly harmed by having Trump as a foe. Watch for rumors about Kellyanne deciding to leave her job as late in a president's first term is when most original staffers quit.

Think about it, if Trump charges Kellyanne with writing it, she can honestly say she didn't because she didn't, her hubby did.

That's why I need to know their identity before I decide whether or not to buy their book.
