name me ANYONE who defied the orange turd in a meaningful way. The others obeyed until they saw the hammer coming for themselves, and fled.

Completely gutless and without moral compass. Actions count.

Rick Wilson got a message from trump team member? [View all] Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2023 OP

John Kelly? GPV Aug 2023 #1

It would have to be a devout Trumper. gab13by13 Aug 2023 #3

Not a Trumper - a TRUMP. As in Ivanka Maru Kitteh Aug 2023 #102

He's already spoken out. So Rick should /would not be saying spooky3 Aug 2023 #53

I'm going with Mick Mulvaney. n/t thesquanderer Aug 2023 #60

Makes sense, but can't see it being jaw dropping? Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2023 #100

Two bits on Jeff Sessions Ponietz Aug 2023 #2

That's a pretty sensible guess I gotta say Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2023 #6

Not miller, he loves hurting people. Butterflylady Aug 2023 #37

"I regret serving in his administration..." Ponietz Aug 2023 #83

I don't think that would be eye popping Renew Deal Aug 2023 #88

Does it matter who Tetrachloride Aug 2023 #4

whoever it is is a fucking COWARD Skittles Aug 2023 #5

This Ferrets are Cool Aug 2023 #28

Yep, secretly saying that does nothing. dem4decades Aug 2023 #41

Right? Secret messages to someone's show? AllyCat Aug 2023 #39

Yep. Even if you supported Trump because you thought he could be "managed", tanyev Aug 2023 #46

Agree. Should have spoken out then resigned a long time ago. Nt spooky3 Aug 2023 #55

Exactly. niyad Aug 2023 #71

Yep. They're an absolutely craven scumbag. Oneironaut Aug 2023 #108

epshteyn perhaps? lamp_shade Aug 2023 #7

I get the impression canetoad Aug 2023 #29

Speaks volumes that there are half dozen suspects+? Brainfodder Aug 2023 #74

I haven't seen the name Pence and that would be my guess Maraya1969 Aug 2023 #90

Very, VERY senior member and our eyes would pop out? Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #8

Jared and Ivanka don't know how to "serve" mtngirl47 Aug 2023 #9

True. They wouldn't even think to say the word "serve." Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #10

They didn't "serve". They worked for the tRump-Kuchner mob Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2023 #12

Yes they think that people who serve are fools and suckers. Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #15

Honestly those are the only possibilities that would surprise me ecstatic Aug 2023 #54

Pretty sure neither one of them got any patents. Ms. Toad Aug 2023 #96

Or Mike Pence? PatSeg Aug 2023 #56

My thought. BadgerMom Aug 2023 #69

Yes, I think that is as courageous as PatSeg Aug 2023 #79

"Spine"? Not sure sure - maybe the beginnings of a notochord. hatrack Aug 2023 #87

My bet, too (n/t) PJMcK Aug 2023 #76

Meadows... MiHale Aug 2023 #11

That's my guess too. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2023 #13

Meadows or Pence? Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #14

I considered Pence too, but he was a weak VP, despite being "in charge" of pandemic response Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2023 #17

Pence. He's growing more outspoken by the day. calimary Aug 2023 #33

I dunno if Meadows risks telling Rick Wilson something like that on condition of anonymity Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2023 #43

Or maybe Pence because he wants to be president so badly but is now deemed a traitor by the Lonestarblue Aug 2023 #16

Yes Pence is trying to re-hab his image now. Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #18

If it's Pence, it would be self-serving at least as much as "patriotic." thesquanderer Aug 2023 #66

All of the GOPers who are criticizing Trump now are self serving. Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #78

That's my guess, as well. However, GoCubsGo Aug 2023 #27

That's my guess. MLAA Aug 2023 #63

Barr speak easy Aug 2023 #19

Don't think that either of them would've requested anonymity. nt allegorical oracle Aug 2023 #25

No, it's Pence. speak easy Aug 2023 #31

Considering basically nobody else was part of his admin 2016-2020 Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2023 #42

I doubt Jared ever regretted his 2 billion dollars. speak easy Aug 2023 #62

That was my impression as well PatSeg Aug 2023 #57

Why would Pence ask Wilson not to give out his name? Pence is on CNN right now allegorical oracle Aug 2023 #70

Contacting an anti-GOP group would sink his campaign, speak easy Aug 2023 #72

Agreed PJMcK Aug 2023 #77

I can see Giuliani saying that during a lucid moment tavernier Aug 2023 #21

That's a pretty big assumption - that he has lucid moments any more. :-) Wonder Why Aug 2023 #48

Ok, you win. tavernier Aug 2023 #75

Was he part of the Admin all four years, though? ExWhoDoesntCare Aug 2023 #97

Why not pop our eyes out? marble falls Aug 2023 #22

Someone who has a double-crossing mentality but is afraid of djt's brown shirts... allegorical oracle Aug 2023 #23

Rex Tillerson. YDogg Aug 2023 #26

He was gone after the first year FakeNoose Aug 2023 #93

Good point ... YDogg Aug 2023 #107

Melania? RVN VET71 Aug 2023 #30

Pence speak easy Aug 2023 #32

Reince Priebus? tanyev Aug 2023 #34

Someone who was privy to the coup and is threatened by Trumps's rants. gordianot Aug 2023 #35

Whoever it is. C_U_L8R Aug 2023 #36

Probably one of the Generals Tarzanrock Aug 2023 #38

None of those would "make eyes pop out" JI7 Aug 2023 #81

Someone considered, in the public eye, as ABSOLUTELY loyal to Trump bucolic_frolic Aug 2023 #40

So sick of these cowards that won't take a stand publicly SouthernDem4ever Aug 2023 #44

Me too! Eff them to the tenth power. FalloutShelter Aug 2023 #49

Yawn Random Boomer Aug 2023 #45

I'm Sure It's A Long List WiVoter Aug 2023 #47

Rick should have ignored the text ecstatic Aug 2023 #50

👍🏼...K&R...👍🏼 spanone Aug 2023 #51

At this point, anything former members of Trumps inner circle (was there ever such a thing?)....... jaxexpat Aug 2023 #52

What about Kelly Ann Conway? She was with him KewlKat Aug 2023 #58

It cost Kelly her marriage. speak easy Aug 2023 #64

I am willing to guess... SpamWyzer Aug 2023 #59

As musclecar6 Aug 2023 #61

I'll believe it when the coward says it publicly. Pacifist Patriot Aug 2023 #65

I assume it's Pence. But whoever it is, too cowardly to come out and say it. yardwork Aug 2023 #67

Yep, that'd be Pence Meadowoak Aug 2023 #86

Bill Barr makes most sense to me. Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #68

Lindsey Graham? Meadowoak Aug 2023 #73

It says a member of the administration JI7 Aug 2023 #82

I hate to say anything good about Mike Pence, but usonian Aug 2023 #80

Perhaps Pompeo? MyMission Aug 2023 #84

Pompeo makes more sense. He was going to run for President JI7 Aug 2023 #91

I'd bet on Pence. roamer65 Aug 2023 #85

Pompeo Renew Deal Aug 2023 #89

Ivanka is my first guess. Pence is my second. nt AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2023 #92

I believe Ivanka sincerely regrets working in the White House FakeNoose Aug 2023 #94

How? She adored her father. May know he's wayward and Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2023 #99

Well it's a hunch based on what some consider a conspiracy theory: I think trump AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2023 #105

Very interesting theory. Wouldn't put anything past them. Just Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2023 #106

Ivanka or Jared Poiuyt Aug 2023 #95

Ivanka. Exactly what I thought as well. nt Maru Kitteh Aug 2023 #101

Was thinking it was someone Rick Wilson knew Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2023 #98

Meadows or Jared Mz Pip Aug 2023 #103

Jared would definitely be jaw dropping. But cant Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2023 #104
