Who dunnit?

Over at Evi's, with great images:

"Yesterday the New York Times printed an op-ed by a supposed "resistance" mole in the Trump Administration.  My guess it is a minor and cowardly Beta NeverTrump "player" trolling the President. Don Surber suggests perhaps it is Trump himself (the letter does in a way help Trump more than it hurts him). While not a fan of this stunt, it is sort of fun to speculate (Ben Shapiro suggested sarcastically maybe it was Ted Cruz's dad or that Mueller himself wrote it)."

Drudge has a link about Rand Paul suggesting lie detector tests to find attention seeker.

Could anything be more beta than going the anonymous route?

As Michael Goodwin put it in his column about this latest backstab -- "Cowardice."

It's monstrous we've come to this. Yes, beta and gross, but enough about the NYT.

Remember what happened with Fake But Real?

If a Lefty wrote it, he'll never admit it.

I wondered about a polygraph. Nick can probably clue us in, but from what I understand, it's a very pointed process. A polygraph session is probably only going to get good results from two, maybe three, questions. Not at all (unsurprisingly) like on tv, where they rattle off a dozen or two questions and tally the results. This one is easy. One question (after the ones that establish the base).

I would vote for waterboarding instead of a lie detector.

The President merely has to fire everyone who worked in the Bush or Obama administrations who are in his government.

I am sure there are millions of perfectly intelligent Americans who can fill those jobs.

I'm unemployed now, I could pencil in a day or two to shuffle some papers around a desk.

Send a memo to everyone, telling them they're needed in Guantanamo Bay for a meeting, and to be at the airport the next morning. See who calls in sick that day.

windbag, You understand polygraphs correctly.

deborah said...

Agree, Trooper, but just firing a few section chiefs here and there will scare everyone a lot.

Windbag, Nick, I imagine a slime like Strokh could beat a lie detector. But again people need to be very afraid.

windbag said...

Or maybe just go with what works to flush these cretins out. Crude but effective.

It would truely be an excellent political demonstration if Trump did it. I wonder how many would refuse to believe it though, even with proof.
