91. Pompeo makes more sense. He was going to run for President

Sun Aug 6, 2023, 07:45 PM

Aug 2023

but I think decided not to and hasn't said anything.

Most of those being named are already publicly critical of Trump including Pence even though he is tryng to make excuses. There wouldn't be any need for them to contact Wilson to say this.

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

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

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

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

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
