Who benefits? The author is clearly a conservative and someone who has been with the Trump admin from the beginning.

Kelly is conservative, but not especially political. He cares about order, not deregulation, etc.
Mattis cares about the military and national security. Another relatively unpolitical guy.
Sessions cares about setting America back to the 1850s.
Pompeo is a possibility as the op-ed references foreign policy and he's a card-carrying rw former rep.
Sarah Sanders is strictly PR, she wouldn't be in the room for a lot of the stuff in the op-ed.
Mnuchin is another guy who only cares about what he can get out of govt service for himself.
Mulvaney is possible since he's a tea-bagger and is down with all the policies being enacted.
Chao, Perry, Carson, don't have enough access to know about the things in the op-ed.

But Pence is another story. First, he believes deeply in all the conservative polices (and then some) cited in the op-ed. Second, he's been with Trump from the get-go and would have been involved in any talks about implementing the 25th Amendment's actions. In fact, the VP would have to lead the pack. Third, if Trump is removed, who becomes President? None other than Mike Pence. What better way to grease the skids for Trump's removal than an anonymouse op-ed in the NYT?
