My vote is for Javanka.
I thought about that, but no way would she confront her father, nor would Jared.

You seem to think these Republicans have any honor, as they supposedly did in 1974. That was all about polls then, still is, once McConnell finishes stealing the Federal Bench.
McConnell will force DEMs to impeach trump, expecting a ‘Clinton’ backlash. Trump serves one term for McConnell, the Devil’s art of the deal.
The ‘hypothetical’ Kavanaugh Court will kill the Mueller Report. More Patriots will come forth with damning reports held secret by GOPutins.
I don't think it will. kavanaugh suggested that a prez shouldn't be bothered with investigations, but he did stipulate that congress would have to pass a law for it in order for him to back it, that was the gist of what he said, I forgot his exact words. Kavanaugh is a textualist.
I dont think it was Pence; though the word "loadstar" was tossed into the Op/Ed, it is a very unique and not often used word that has already been attributed to Pence in recent usage....I do not think Pence would make such a glaring error.

We need good judges who do not try to overturn American laws and traditions to serve the leftist agenda.

I would bet that lodestar was thrown in as a red herring or that Pence uses it more often in private talk and the op-ed author has picked it up
I hope it isn't Coats. I'd be disappointed if it was; I honestly thought he was a man of integrity.
Truthfully, I'm still not certain what to make of this anonymous letter. Despite my total revulsion at having Trump in the WH, I can't shake off the scent of self-aggrandizing with a hint of heroic martyr while reading it.
A real hero would sign his/her name, not allow a panicked and paranoid WH witch hunt to turn the Executive Branch upside down, destroying any poor sot who can't provide an immediate alibi.
Like I've said, I don't know what to think of this; nothing even close has ever happened in my lifetime.
That's a pretty good point. There's a case to be made that this is an action of cowardice rather than heroism, if honestly they felt this strongly about the subject they'd invoke the 25th or at least speak out publicly. It's pretty apparent that most of the people in this administration don't want to be there and are setting themselves up to be the person that "tried to stop all the madness."

Frankly, I'd be surprised if it's anyone having "household name" status.Maybe. Pence is more polite, politically savvy, and diplomatic, but he's just as power hungry as Trump; plus Trump can't fire his ass, and he knows it.
But if the VP is behind the scenes engineering a Presidential coup d'etat, it would precipitate the biggest constitutional crisis of my lifetime, and perhaps in the history of our country.
We’re seeing Another fine False-Equivalence of Coats being gutless, as trump called him. The gutless ones have no idea what Coats and the rest are protecting us from, and indeed the entire Planet .
The Author of the letter would have been Decimated by the hack alt-Rightists out of the gate. Spineless lefties would have continued being Spineless, with their alt-Rightists friends continuing to obstruct Justice.
The only thing we know about tomorrow is that it will be worse than today.
Which leads me to believe this may not be an actual insider that wrote the Op/Ed;
If you are outgunned and outmanned, then it is reasonable to conclude that stealth and anonymity are your greatest assets...if one truly is attempting to undermine executive actions they deem to be a threat to the nation, it serves no tactical purpose to announce it to the world at large knowing full well it will bring unwanted and intense scrutiny to the actions of anyone working behind the scenes to mitigate anything being done by the president.
That's why this entire matter strikes me as being conducted by an outsider rather than an insider.

That makes little to no sense. If the NYT's has gotten this wrong it actually represents an existential threat to the paper. The decision to publish this went all the way to the Publisher and likely the board itself. No Editor makes this decision unilaterally.
The NYT's knows who it is. Its anonymous to us, not to them.
Its no threat to the paper...big media always weathers any bad story, they just kick the journalist, editor, etc, to the curb as a scape goat...
CBS with the Dan Rather producing falsified documents on President Bush Air Guard story...CBS is there here.
Rollingstones hoax rape story....Rollingstones still here
NBC Brian Williams "conflated being shot at in a helicopter" story.....NBC still here
NBC deliberate editing of George Zimmerman 911 call..NBC still here
NYT reporter Jayson Blair busted making up stories...New York Times still here.
Dateline NBC rigs a truck to explode In 1993 to "prove how unsafe it is"......Dateline NBC still here
Washinton Post hoax story about an 8 year old heroin addict......WaPost still here
Just a few examples...so, I wouldn't be too concerned about the continued existence of any media outlets when they can toss a faceless drone out as a sacrificial lamb when the pay off is more people tuning in to them or buying thier paper.
They won't be able to throw out some faceless drone because nobody with a brain will believe this did not go at least to the Publisher for a decision if not the Board of the Times.

Dude why don't you go back to your sandbox end play and let the grown ups talk. Your posts never make sense let alone have anything to do with the thread at hand.
That'll be for the NYT publisher or Board to worry about....not my concern.
Whatever the case may be, it'll come out eventually.
