President Donald Trump demanded that that the New York Times hand over the anonymous official who disparaged the president in a recent op-ed for national security reasons, in a Wednesday tweet.
Does the so-called “Senior Administration Official” really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!

“It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t,” the anonymous official said.
Trump previously called the official “gutless” and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders released a scathing statement saying “nearly 62 million people voted for President Donald J. Trump in 2016, earning him 306 Electoral College votes — versus 232 for his opponent. None of them voted for a gutless, anonymous source to the failing New York Times.”
The press secretary ended her statement calling for resignation, saying, “The individual behind this piece has chosen to deceive, rather than support, the duly elected President of the United States. He is not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people. This coward should do the right thing and resign.”
lol
Agree. If it wasn't produced in-house with management's knowledge someone threw it over the transom and NYT thought it was a damned good idea.
Don't care for the DC's gratuitous use of the word "demand"; don't see one in the material. It sets Trump up for a loss, when the NYT refuses to respond. Folks like Trump, let alone a President do not make unenforceable demands.
Same here, that’s my guess.
Someone simply wants to create a little more chaos and maybe a couple drama queens will emerge.
“:^)
We don’t need NeoCon Pence for the second term. Choose a new VP for 2020.
This is a gift from the NYT, now Trump can root them all out.
A. They are Seditionists
B. They are Insubordinate
These seditionists against out country and POTUS should NOT be collecting a Federal paycheck under the Executive Branch of Government.
NYT editorial from seditionist might be remembered as The September Gift to President Trump. Or something like that. LOL
NYT thought this would be treated like a lame Bob Woodward anonymous source. However, the Federal Employee of the op ed was proactive in publishing his seditious acting against a sitting President.
How much you want to bet, the seditionist Federal employee is right now destroying their phone and laptop in real time. HA!
“I hold Jeff Sessions in the highest regard. I appreciate his service to the nation,” Pence told reporters on Capitol Hill....
Pence praises Sessions after Trump criticism[The Hill 6 hours ago]
Who stands to gain the most? The media has little credibility left. Nobody really believes what they write or place on t.v. The Dems. have little to offer the American People. Trump teaches us by promoting conflict. People learn from conflict.
I’d settle for them giving up that bigot who wants to bury white people underground.
I’d settle for them giving up that bigot who wants to bury white people underground.
I’d pay for that....it would be good to get back to hanging traitors again.
Mitch McConnell just said basically the same thing Pence said tonight. Maybe Sessions is ready to resign.
Sheesh. If Pence has a problem with Trump, he’s not going to air it in the New York Times, of all places.
One of my favorites from long long ago.
Hair of the Dog "Now you're messin' with a "so and so""
Trump is exactly right.
Find and arrest this person. It is indeed a serious national security breech.
Well, if he’s the prime suspect, he should be hauled before Gen. Kelly, with an FBI investigator there, and asked some questions. If he denies, he goes straight to lie detector. If it’s him, they’ll know pretty quick.
Nick Ayers is the guy who, as I recall, was behind some big campaigns in MO and had a lot of issues with handling things legally. He was a Cruz guy, if I remember correctly, got him into analytics.
Why would you praise a deep-state coup co-conspirator like Sessions? No, imo, they’re backing his play.
