Former Trump Aide Michael Caputo: I Know Who the Op-Ed Writer Is
Not only did "she" hide behind an anonymous op-ed instead of quitting, she tried to pin the blame on her colleagues, leaving several hints in the piece that led analysts to different officials in the administration. She published the piece now in order to affect the midterms and impeach President Trump, Caputo also suggested. ... Caputo left listeners a few other hints about the op-ed author’s identity:I think I know who he means. I'm not saying I know this; I'm saying that last week a rumor went around conservative circles, and he either heard the rumor too, or he was one of the people starting it. Per the rumor, and comporting with Caputo's "it's dangerous to fire her because of who she's related to," the claim is that it's Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao, current Secretary of Transportation. I'm not saying it's her. I'm just saying I've heard the same rumor floating around, and Caputo seems to be referencing it. I don't put any stock in that and I don't put any additional stock in it just because Caputo is hinting around it. But I figure if people are hinting at it, you might as well know what they're hinting at.
"It's par for the course for her strange personality." "It's dangerous to fire her because of who she's related to." He added that the writer is "arrogant" and sees herself as "Captain America."

Secretary of Transportation? What does she do, call people cabs when they get too drunk at White House parties?
Who gives a shit if she's the turtle's wife? What is McConnell going to do that's going to make things that much worse on the Congressional side? I think it's best to expose him for the backstabbing, little douchebag that we've always known him to be.

Actually, to be accurate, it's Captain Marvel who is a woman, although Captain Marvel is more of a title, and has been played by both men and women in the past.
Captain America has always been a man, which isn't to say that Marvel wouldn't mess with that in the future.

This doesn't demoralize his supporters or pull anyone away from Trump that wasn't already opposed to him. It does give his supporters vindication "see! the swamp all really is out to get him!"
It wouldn't surprise me at all if the NYT at some point in the future floats an idea like "Gee, we really wish we could tell you who this was, but we can't, see, because we've got so much gosh darn journalistic integrity, but you'll just have to trust us that it was actually a false-flag op by someone close to Trump to get his crazy conspiracy theory supporters to believe the Deep State thing."
Posted by: joe, living dangerously at September 12, 2018 02:43 PM (KUaJL)
I get the logic behind the theory, though. A fake op-ed to sow dissension in the ranks is absolutely something most media outlets will do.
Here's the deal as I see it though ... alot of what's going on right now only makes sense if there's ALREADY dissension in the ranks.
I think Trump has had to deal with a Fifth Column from Day One - I also think he stepped on his own dick by picking most of them himself and not firing many others when he had the chance.
I just don't think Trump is infallible ... and I'm wary of those that speak of him in Kim Jong-Un terms.
I do think the man is playing a Hell of a hand with the cards he drew ... and is getting better pretty quick. He's doing a better job than I ever could.
I would have went Kim Jong-Un on a bunch of their asses by now. AA gun and all.

The way they mess with that is they refer to him as Captain Rodgers instead of Captain America. You notice they also took away all his patriotic garb in the last movie. See in this case the character's problem is that he's supposed to represent America itself. Which is why they tried making him a Nazi or Uber-Leftist in the past. Depending on whether he was the hero or villain that month.

yeah, no idea what she has done on the job, but while McConnell is good on the judges, he and Ryan also jammed through the omnibus ... huge increase, no accountability.
But spending big money is the way to win elections still. (except on the wall ... a rather major point of contention with tea-party hater, "we're not gonna build no steenkin Wall" McConnell). McConnell is open border open trade globalist, which serves China's interest.

She does. Just ask her.
Maybe Caputo is just stirring shit for the sake of stirring it. I don't know any more now than I did before. I have not given up on the whole thing just being a NYT fabrication.
The fundamental problem of the Trump administration is that there are not enough certified non-freak, non-swamp personnel available to staff the entire Executive Branch. This sort of backbiting will continue for that reason, and I will continue to tune it out.

Actually, to be accurate, it's Captain Marvel who is a woman, although Captain Marvel is more of a title, and has been played by both men and women in the past.
Captain America has always been a man, which isn't to say that Marvel wouldn't mess with that in the future.
Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at September 12, 2018 02:39 PM (/qEW2)
Captain Marvel was a man for a long, long time. It's only recent fuckery that made him a chick.
Carol Danvers was 'Miss Marvel' and 'Ms. Marvel', as part of Marvel Comics trying to own every variation of that name.
Don't get me started on why Wonder Man is a thing.

If ... by "modern age" you mean ever since I started working ... then yeah, it's all passive-aggressive.
When I started work in my twenties ... for dudes in their fifties ... back in the late nineties ... it was all passive-aggressive then too.
Little bullshit traps of "you can't say this" or "what do you mean by that" by fuckers scared to death of losing their jobs - that never understood how I did mine.
I think that's always been the way. Before there was HR, there were always Shop Rules ... and a shit-storm about who got to make 'em, and better yet who got to enforce 'em.

But the biggest problem is that by running it in the Op Ed page they get to disclaim and duty to stick to "truth."
But by reporting, in the Op Ed, what amounts to "news" i.e. people close to the President are thinking x, y and z it gets reported as news.
So the facts can be faked, but they get the effect of "news."
Fake. News.

yeah, no idea what she has done on the job, but while McConnell is good on the judges, he and Ryan also jammed through the omnibus ... huge increase, no accountability.
But spending big money is the way to win elections still. (except on the wall ... a rather major point of contention with tea-party hater, "we're not gonna build no steenkin Wall" McConnell). McConnell is open border open trade globalist, which serves China's interest.

She and her husband seem like the ultimate DC power couple that play all sides and wouldn't think twice about stabbing anyone in the back.
And wasn't she the one that ratted out someone for some bad joke made in a meeting?

So Rush is saying John Kerry is talking to the Iranians and telling them to not deal with Trump.
The big flaw here is the idea that anyone, anywhere, takes John Kerry seriously.

Overall I'd rather there was a more tiered system, with broad categories being the cabinet then under them various portions, like Justice is broken down. Director of Intelligence, Justice, Defense, Infrastructure, that kind of thing. No more of this 112 cabinet members each with their own building and staff and department.

I also don't think she would be stupid enough to jeopardize everything for a catty op-ed.
If anyone thinks Trump will NOT fire her because of McConnell, they are sorely mistaken. McConnell will probably have to retire as well if that's revealed.

First that would be an incredibly reckless and dangerous thing to do on her part for several reasons, least of which, her husband is the a majority leader and if she wrote it he knew about and if he knew about it and let her publish it then he is effect endorsing the sentiments.
If someone actually in the administration wrote it, something I doubt, it was more than likely someone in state or the diplomat corp.

Remember how he spoke some Chinese at one of the debates, just to let us know he speaks Chinese? Then, when people made fun of his strained showing off, he complained about how his rivals were anti-intellectual, and they think it's a bad thing to know another language?
Yeah. It would not shock me if that guy wrote the op-ed, then thought, This is the thanks I get for silently saving the Republic? Guess you must not want it saved, then.

I could easily see Team Romney making this move. She throws Trump under the bus in gambit to set up (oh please GOD NO!!!!) another Mitt Romney run in 2020. Of COURSE the Romneys think it would be a winning strategy to appeal to Never Trumpers. For Brigham Young's sake, Mitt has came out of his hole to defend Antifa (?!) during the Charlotte charade.

Ivanka Trump is related to somebody important. Maybe she's the author?
That was my initial thought.
I still think it's Trump and Conway.

I work in state government. I'm not big and powerful - just a cog in the government machine - but I recognize that I'm one of those people who dictate how life will be in my field here in the state, through no fault or choice of the citizens who pay my salary, in full or in part. I actually take that sh*t seriously. I am not in my job to further some BS political agenda. I am here to carry out my job in compliance with applicable state, federal, and local laws, and I genuinely TRY to make it easier for the people I work with to do all the crap we require of them as quickly and efficiently as possible. I don't like government, so as someone who WORKS in government, I understand the frustration and the aggravation, and I try to live up to the idea of the "public servant" rather than the public leech.
To that end, I make it a point to NEVER talk politics in the office. I've erred once or twice, but to me, as a g-ddamned bureaucrat, allowing my politics to in any way influence my job is disgusting. I see co-workers who wear their union t-shirts and Women's March lapel pins and Bernie Sanders bumper stickers like a symbol of pride, and it makes me sick. I have SEEN these people shirk or disparage the duties that come across their desk when those duties are the result of legislation or legislators they don't like.
It makes me so ANGRY.
So when the NYT published that op-ed, I saw red. Here was someone who wasn't, allegedly, just a cog in the machine. The most I can do in my role as a low-level schlub is to slow walk some report, or "lose track" of some request; the bureaucratic peon equivalent of Blue Flu.
But this op-ed author has a high enough, secure enough position that they are actually claiming to impact nationwide policy directives. That's not someone being patriotic; that's someone being underhanded and duplicitous. That's someone acting as a de facto President despite having zero authority to do so. That's someone hanging up their "I'm With Her!" placard in their office cubicle and wearing a "Fight for 15" t-shirt to the company picnic and then claiming to be a neutral, nonpartisan public employee. It's a blatant, self-serving lie. It's a gross misuse of the authority they've been given as an UNELECTED government official.
Working in government, if you aren't a leech or a leftist (BIRM), isn't about doing what you think is best. You're in your job to do what is in your job description.
If I'm an auditor, my job is to examine financial reports to determine if there is the potential of fraud. It is NOT my job to say, sans evidence, "You know what? I think we should audit the Obamas. I bet there's a lot of dirty laundry just waiting to spill out."
If I'm a social worker, my job is to follow-up on reports of child neglect. It is NOT my job is to say, sans impetus, "We need to initiate a hearing to remove custody rights from (insert conservative parent here). Their demonstrated transphobia in published remarks make them a clear and present danger to their children."
If your job includes counseling the President on policy matters, fine. But "counseling" and "deliberately misinforming, misleading, or willfully withholding information from" are very, very, VERY different things. This person has very clearly forgotten that distinction, to the country's peril.

Dumb. All of it could be false news to get Conservatives and Trump supporters to turn on one another.
By the way, Mitch McConnell must have lost a lot of weight..his face is very thin. Anyone have any idea if he's sick and we haven't been told?

Thank you for this wonderful comment. I'm saving it - it would be a shame not to be able to reread it, sometime down the road when I've forgotten which post it was.
I read of a professor who had a student ask him, "You're a conservative, aren't you?" He answered "that I was disappointed he could tell, because I try to present all views fairly and leave my own in the background." "I know," the student said. "That's how I could tell."
And the thing is, I know liberal public servants who feel as you do as well. I know they're out there. But sadly, these sentiments you express so well are coming to be considered a political position in themselves, and they damn well shouldn't be. It's an ethos, and one worth defending.
