Trump demands NY Times reveal identity of anonymous official

[Standing Wolf]

Part of the story has people removing papers from his desk so he can't sign them. Two people can remove a paper form his desk- his chief of staff and his secretary. His secretary isn't what it sounds like. It is someone in charge of the paper flow.

If someone else tried to remove a paper the Secret Service would face slam that person to the floor. This gives the whole thing away as a lie.

Right. Because as we all know, a Secret Service agent guards the desk 24/7.

A Secret Service agent is always on duty is correct. You cannot, except the above and the President, go into the Oval Office without an agent accompanying you. You're trying to make believe someone protected us all by stealing documents so Trump couldn't sign them. Idiotic.

The cleaning crews are watched like hawks.

No, we all didn't know. You didn't. Google can be your friend if you know how to use it.

I don't know the truth of the story, but I can believe it's possible for someone to steal paperwork off the president's desk.

The op-ed is claiming to thwart a constitutionally seated president because he is not a true conservative as he sees it. That is an un-elected official trying to interfere with the president's constitutional duties based on his own opinion. If that isn't sedition, I don't know what is.

Removing anything from Trump's desk without authorization is a crime. It's theft as the very least. It's also not possible.

Standing Wolf only cares since it's Trump. He'd be yelling like his balls were on fire if this was about Obama. I wouldn't put much stock in what he says. TDS, you know.

How? Only two people have access to the desk besides Trump. How would someone else do it and the Secret Service not see it?

Only one person puts papers on the desk and only three people can touch them.

While I'm sure it's unauthorized and probably a crime, I'm also sure it is possible.

Access is not consistent from administration to administration. If that was the case, how did Monica Lewinsky, an intern, have unaccompanied access to the Oval Office?


The secret service is not standing behind the president during the conduct of business in the Oval Office.


While I doubt that the story is accurate, it is possible.

From what im reading "she" is not a high level official and the motivation is to keep her job after she believes trump will lose the next election.

Is that true? who the hell knows but I do doubt it was a High Level Official

As far as I gotcha Harry Reid was the classic case of being warned about I gotcha. Its going to be played out again shortly with Kavanaugh

It certainly can be said that there comes consequences with decisions made.

Then memo was likely a complete fabrication. The media will run with for a while and say oops we screwed up.

The NY Times is not going to publicly admit anything.
