TRUMP DEMANDS NYT GIVE UP ANONYMOUS OFFICIAL FOR ‘NATIONAL SECURITY’ REASONS
Daily Caller ^ | 8/5/2018 | Saagar Enjeti

Posted on 09/05/2018 5:06:48 PM PDT by Eddie01

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!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018

“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.”

Or Jorge Boosh. I know enough Booshies in this town that trashed Trump, then asked for jobs in the incoming admin and actually got them.

The transparency of this second to last chapter in the Democrat playbook burns my eyes.

We didn’t have the internet back then.

Guess that point was lost on them.

Whoever the FEDERAL employees are who are collecting a paycheck under the Executive Branch of government, need to be identified. And it's more than just one.

They are collecting a pay check and are insubordinate. FACT.

Their hiring agreement has language which prohibits them from being insubordinate. They can whistle blow with protection. Hmmmm. so why aren't they going through the proper channels to whistle blow?

Answer: They are Stupid beyond belief. They let some stupid reporter such as Woodward advise them they would be protected for going on record for acknowledging their sedition against a duly elected POTUS. Talk about Stupid1

Woodward is using a Playbook from the 1970’s. LOL NYT is using a playbook from the 1990’s. These fools.

Good times. Thank you NYT for the early September gift. Preciate ya! :-)

I’m seeing Pence’s remarks about Sessions trending on twitter

“I hold Sessions in the highest regard”—Mike Pence

What the hell is going on?

That is the best theory I have seen. Didn’t he want Sarah’s job? He did something very cruel to Sarah recently cannot recall what it was.

A person working for the WH has admitted that the president lacks the authority to issue orders and that he/she countermands them when necessary. Arrest whomever necessary to find and drop the boom on the is SOB.

This will not destroy Kavanaugh hearings. The protesters were paid and went home. The B team will ask Kavanaugh questions tomorrow to try for a sound bite. The Deep Throat story will take attention off the hearings.

I think the same. They have done it before and believe they can keep on doing it. I think they are fuq’d this time however. Just some small bait for POTUS to play with that fits an agenda that proves how corrupt everyone is.

At this point, arrest Sessions first, and we’ll sort it out when we have a new Attorney General.

...new attorney general.

Scratch that, “...an Attorney General.”

Perhaps it’s Pence’s speechwriter Stephen Ford. Wrote the speech Pence gave at Mccain’s funeral. Also fond of the word “lodestar”.

The elected President’s orders/decisions not being carried out most certainly does undermine the nation’s security.

Kellyanne knows the buzz words to use. Her husband is probably using pillow talk to get to her.
