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.

Overheard

"Monica Crowley, PhD is going to be one of Trump's U.S. Deputy National Security Advisors. 

When you consider she's been writing columns with stuff like this all year It turns out that Mr. Trump is the rule, while Mr. Obama was the anomalous exception, it should come as no surprise."

"Monica Crowley (born September 19, 1968) is an American columnist, political commentator, talk radio personality, and author. She is known for her appearances on Fox News. She is currently the online opinion editor for The Washington Times and regular columnist. She is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.^[1][2] It was reported in December 2016, that Crowley will be appointed to the position of senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council in the Donald Trump administration.:

Rules change comes back to bite Dems

"Democrats are eager to make Donald Trump pay a political price for nominating staunch conservatives to fill out his Cabinet, hoping to exact revenge for the GOP's stubborn opposition to President Barack Obama's nominees.

But there is little they can do about it -- and some top Democrats are now coming to regret it.

That's because Senate Democrats muscled through an unprecedented rules change in 2013 to weaken the power of the minority party to filibuster Cabinet-level appointees and most judicial nominees, now setting the threshold at 51 votes -- rather than 60 -- to overcome tactics aimed at derailing nominations.

With the Senate GOP poised to hold 52 seats next Congress, some Democrats now say they should have thought twice before making the rules change -- known on Capitol Hill as the "nuclear option.""
