George Conway says we'll be hearing much more from anonymous author of 2018 NYT op-ed soon

Conway tweeted this a couple of minutes ago:









I had an amazing conversation this morning with ... Anonymous.

Anonymous is a true patriot.

We'll all be hearing a lot more from this person very, very soon.


https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html





And yes, I remember that there was some speculation in 2018 that Anonymous was Kellyanne Conway.

George got off his couch/bed and is going to talk to Kellyanne in her wing of the house? Cool, cool.

I highly doubt she is the one. If she is, she is the undercover cop that got in too deep; did all the blow, banged all the hookers, killed all the hookers, and stashed cash before the regulars rolled in for the round up. I doubt any prosecuter would put that cop on the stand, but, I would probably read her report.

Why would anyone ever WANT it to be her either?

Because IF it is her, she has done waaaaaaaaay more to help Trump, and Bush before him, than almost anyone. She has lied and coined the term "alternate facts" to somehow justify hers and Trump's lies. So already, she has gone way down into Trumps pants, to ever make up for it. I'd never buy some book if she put it out after to rake in her "reward" for putting up with him.

Why would she? She'd be hated by both sides. No one would trust her ever again.
No, she will continue on stoking the far right movement. Guesting on Fox News. Helping to create the next Bush or Trump. Feeding the masses fake news and alternate facts. There will be lots of employment for Republican attack dogs during Biden's first term. To start with the SCOTUS. If Joe dares to add to the court, she will go stark raving mad in the media.

... there is not much time left... knee-jerk reaction is that it would be Kellyanne. She was my first guess, with spouse helping as a writer... True, she has no real loyalty to Crooked Donald... but I remember her pundit days as Kellyanne Fitzpatrick and I can't picture her as a "true patriot"...

Except for the one that is written by the attorney that prosecutes him. Honestly, we know he is a horses ass. We know he's not very bright. And I don't want to read any more about him when he's gone.

One of my biggest takeaways from the Watergate era was “Don’t But Books By Crooks.”

So frankly I don’t give a rat’s ass WHO’S writing some new mea culpa. They’re NOT getting MY money. I wouldn’t have them in my house. Even after fumigation.

I can get excerpts here and elsewhere enough to get the gist of what’s in whatever book it is.

undermined, anonymous moves behind the scenes are not the solution.

From the original op-ed:

Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more. But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.


Garbage, all around.

Lock him up.
