I’m not buying it. I think this whole “Anonymous source” business is just a ruse to try to sow suspicion and cause disarray among the senior White House staff. They want everyone there to distrust everyone else in order to paralyze the Trump White House and sabotage the President’s agenda.

“Q-red vs. Q-blue!”

Media is nuts, not even trying to be pertinent.

[Cementjungle]

John McCain probably wrote it.

[Osage Orange]

BS

[Right Wing Assault]

If a real person, then its use was to distract from the real idiot who wrote it

That's right. If a person has an unusual word they use a lot, everyone notices it. Therefore, it could be anyone.

Except Pence.

[Major Matt Mason]

I doubt it was Pence, but if it was, then he needs to step down.

[ALX]

Could be one of his aides. Type that lost virginity on wedding night, loves war and does whatever his wife says. Real stickler.

[Rodm]

BS. This was written by Christopher Steele

[metmom]

So someone picked up on it and used it to smear Pence.

Fake News: In for a pence, in for a pound.

The difference between a confidential source and an imaginary friend is the credibility of the “journalist” making the claim. For example, Bob Woodward only has imaginary friends.

So, either this is some NYT imaginary friend, OR a Russian collusion plot from the NYT. Either explanation is believable.

Not true.

They are just trying to plant discord and distrust between them.

Evil, fake media.

[Kickass Conservative]

Sound like the Plot of 24.

[TLI]

Common practice among leakers so that rules out the VP.

“To cover my tracks, I usually pay attention to other staffers’ idioms”

[oblomov]

Nope.

[Sooth2222]

I'm sure The Swamp would love to see Pence quit!

(Then when the Democrats take over the House, they elect Hillary Speaker of the House, impeach Trump and ¡voalá! Things are back to where ithey were meant to be!)

[madison10]

Not Pence.

"I hope I’m wrong, but like a lot of other folks, I’m seeing a pattern here. The lodestar of current American security policy seems to be to reduce our burdens and minimize our involvement — often in the face of hard evidence pointing toward alternative options."

[SERKIT]

Imaginary friend? Like Tom Daschle?
