If this is a true account of what happens in the WH, it is truly astounding but I have a few niggling doubts about it.
If the anonymous writer is genuine, why leak this to the press? Surely that is a self defeating action. What might he/she/they be hoping to achieve? I can't see that this will make things any better.
What do others think about this?

Could be Pence, some lady whose name escapes me as I was kind of tuning out her squeals to a degree just wasn't paying attention when her name was mentioned, she alluded to it being Pence. . The annoying women was on MSNB or CNN earlier, she was ranting and going on and on about where's Pence, WHERE'S PENCE!. Yep, she was raising her voice to a yelling wanting to know where VP was while all this and all else is going on lately. News host should have said, probably practices his swearing in and presidential speech for the coming months. Not that this will be a good thing for the rest of us; as I was hoping for the entire administration to be removed.

They are trying to tell us that they are saving us from this lunatic, while saving their jobs and the Republican's stronghold in congress....they took an oath to put the country first....they need to come forward with the truth as to what's going on.

It appeared from when they posted the full Op-Ed details earlier this evenings, seemed to be the person may have been motivated by the death and memorial of McCain. McCain was mentioned, my mind sort of recalls it even being said it was part of the motivation, but, don't quote me on that, I'm really tired and having some brain fog at the moment. Will check back in after getting settled in bed.

That is going to require some strength of character, and some adherence to decency. No GOP names are coming to mind right this moment, anyone want to hazard a guess?

Don Lemon (CNN) just had John Dean on his show. Dean's guess is John Kelly. The anonymous writer used the term "off the rails". That terminology has been used by Kelly. If it is Kelly, we do need him to stay close to Trump. He's one keeping Trump reined in as much as possible. Kelly understands the GOP majority in Congress would never pay attention to him... or anyone this close to the mid-term election. Kelly will come public with the accusations if the Dems turn the House over in November.

Mike Pence seems a little extreme on the morals issue, for example "would never have business dinner with an unaccompanied female unless wife present". The word 'amoral' just sounds like him. Could be he's impatient to ascend to the throne and thinks this might help move the currant occupant out.
This would all be very funny if it wasn't so serious.

It is someone who doesn't want to lose their job, so it can't be Pence. Nikki Haley was suggested a lot on Twitter but she doesn't spend her time in the WH, she's in NY at the UN.

We were watching CNN when Trump did his live rant in front of all the sheriffs. Nuts. He's just plain nuts.
Then he tweeted: Treason?

Trump is demanding the Times betray their source. This could be the showdown between he and the media. The fourth estate is as integral to democracy as the three arms of government which are supposed to support and defend it. The executive and legislature, under this administration...have become enemies of democracy. With this in mind, the Kavanaugh hearings take on a deeper connotation. The Supreme Court could undermine our free press and encourage the Trump/Putin plan for a fascist America. This op-ed stuff is a diversion and a catalyst justifying Trumps attack. Wheels within wheels.
