I think it is a snowflake chick. I'll go with a staff member from HLS or someone from DeVos's staff.

My top two choices are none of the abovementioned. I think the NY Times wrote it themselves.

This right here.

@Frank Cannon @Bigun, I should have included that. You can cast your vote now. Thanks.

Who is the jerk that voted Kirstjen Nielson? She is too hot to be a Commie Plant.

I agree. Spreading calumny and chaos seems to be their new job.

I can't because unlike @Bigun I am a sheep and voted for the unacceptable choices you forced on me.

That would be me. And not her....a staff infection.

You should. I'd let her do an invassive pat me down and a cavity search on me.

None of the above.

I think it came from inside the Oval Office.

Interesting. What would the motivation be?

I want to change my vote. I know firmly believe..... Barron Trump wrote it.

I find it odd the the op- ed went out of its way to say good things have been done.
They said that it happened in spite of President Trump.
If it were a cabinet Secretary, or someone who belonged in a specific cabinet, their grievances,and praises, would be more connected to that role, that department, I would think.
I think it was someone who is closer to the President on a daily basis.
Not as high a level of a cabinet secretary, but more of a consistent visitor/advisor.
The interesting thing is that they are still there, ruling out a Prebius, Bannon, Mooch, etc.

Perhaps John Barron?

If I changed mine, I'd pick someone on Huntsman's staff. His daughter just joined the hags on The View.

Wait, we're going to write @corbe off just like that?

We can't burn him. People would get too high.

I'm going with John Barron.

Sure. Why not.

..and joking aside, I did see a good argument today that it very likely could be Larry Kudlow; someone who abhors tariffs and would not be the type thrilled about all the calls to regulate the internet and social media. He would also fit the age demographic speculated due to some language used in the article. And he had already been a writer for the New York Times in the past and has seemed friendly with them. Plus, his recent heart attack may have him rethinking priorities.

Kudlow is a happy warrior. Always has been. He would never do this. He would just resign because of health issues and retire.

Think about it for a moment. Have you ever seen @corbe and Huntsman in a room together?

Ok. Actually the British actor has been dead since the 90s I believe. He was in Reggie Perrin

That makes sense, I think. The thrust of the op-ed is that the administration is succeeding in spite of Trump's erratic behavior, due to the behind the scenes efforts of those who control access to the President, and the President's access to the levers of power. I voted John Kelly or (more likely) someone on his staff. I think it is significant that Kelly has perservered throughout all the noise and, it has been suggested, his personal dislike of the President. He is on record as being willing to continue to serve through the end of the President's term. That sounds like the kind of discipline exhibited by a military man - with an eye single on the mission and the good of the nation. It is also, I think, significant that Kelly himself is leading the investigation into the identity of the author. He is therefore in a position to control the information once he acquires it.

Maybe the leaker is Madeleine, The Key....?

@Sanguine
I voted for the first and the last items in the poll. I assume that Mike Pence's wife is considered to be part of his "staff." She hates Trump. The final item, the NYT, assumes that the whole thing is fake (D'Souza's theory).
Anyway, have you noticed that there is a BIG push to try to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump? It seems coordinated, time-wise, with the NYT op-ed.

Thanks, Doc. It seems much of this depends upon what an "administration official" is.

I don't really care who it is and don't care to speculate. I'm just sitting back watching the meltdown.

I think it's none other then the Dem plant.

That's especially important since the NYT is known to exaggerate to the point of lying.
BTW, americanthinker.com had an interesting article (yesterday?) arguing that the op-ed anon was not a high-ranking official and may not even exist in the Trump admin (which is D'Souza's theory). Full disclosure: Americanthinker is actually my favorite website.
Today I saw something on another site somewhere claiming that the anon is actually a student at USC. There may be a youtube vid for that one.
***
As I insinuated in my previous post, I think the whole thing is a concerted, conspiratorial frame job for attempting to invoke the 25th Amendment.

It's going to be someone with a Big Red "R" behind their name that worked for or still works for the Bush Crime Family of traitors for hire. Given all the political "inbreeding" amongst the Professional Party People in DC,I know that doesn't narrow the list down much.
