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.
I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
Sept. 5, 2018
President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.
Its not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trumps leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.
The dilemma which he does not fully grasp is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
I would know. I am one of them.

Hmmm. I'm not sure I care after all this time. Do you?

What value can they bring at this point?
Sorry Anonymous. You missed your window of time. Saving your reputation now is too little too late, unless you have proof you swatted Trump's stuby fingers away from the nuclear button at some point.

Whomever it was is completely inconsequential - they will go down as just another dupe who could have done more.

(2,023 posts)... who claimed after the 2012 election to have prevented a GOP theft of that election? The claim was that a group of hackers had erected a password-protected firewall that kept Karl Rove's minions out of an Internet site that they were going to use on election night to fix the vote in a few critical states and throw that election to Mitt Romney. Is this that Anonymous?

(1,988 posts)I had my doubts the entire time. It sounded more like a few reporters took second hand stories they had heard and crafted them together to draw a picture of what they *hoped* people around Trump were saying. Too much time has passed, and Trump has gotten exponentially worse in his behavior for me to believe this was actually someone "Senior".

(26,068 posts)MAYBE Coats or Kellyanne.

Maybe Anonymous would be willing to be an informer in jail.
We may learn of Anonymous' identity in months, or never.
