As the Marxist left's desperation grows day by day, their tactics get more and more insane.
By the way, the BRET KAVANAUGH hearings are proceeding despite leftist stunts and he WILL be approved soon as the 2nd SCOTUS judge appointed by President Trump.

This doesn't look like Treason. Now, if something more were to emerge--if there is (or was) something going on here with Classified information--that would have to be considered when the culprit is identified. Short of that, it's just a federal employee that needs to be addressed with that well known remark, YOU"RE FIRED..!
Unless I've been misled by my Mainstream Media addiction, no one has been prosecuted under the federal statutes that define Treason since World War Two. There have been--and I credit this to Captain Obvious--prosecutions and convictions on the charge of Espionage. But not Treason.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the culprit were publicly identified in a news report from the New York Times? There is, or at least, there is supposed to be a Firewall that separates the News gathering and reporting part of the New York Times, from the Op-Ed part of the New York Times. The part of the New York Times that has the responsibility for the Op-Ed section has an agreement with the culprit, to protect his or her identity from being disclosed by the Op-Ed part of the New York Times.
But--and this is a discussion that was just on MSNBC--if the News side of that Firewall were to find the evidence to identify the culprit by independent means--by investigative reporting--but not by getting the culprit's name from the Op-Ed side of the Firewall--then the culprit's identify could very possibly be revealed as a news report by the New York Times.
It would likely be reviewed by the New York Time's top level lawyers, but it seems like they might be OK with the culprit's identity being revealed in a New York Time's news report, IF the lawyers were satisfied that the Firewall between News and Op-Ed was not being violated, as far as this non-disclosure agreement between the New York Times and the culprit.
"QED"...

The truth is, we only know that this is claimed to come from a WH senior staffer. Give me a frigg'n break...... I am no Trump fan but the NY rag that provided this story is known to lean so far left it's almost upside down.
I don't believe Melania would do such a thing. She is classy. Whenever she opposes Trump, she puts her name to it. She is his wife; if she wanted to sabotage him, she has more effective ways to do it.
in·cred·i·ble inˈkredəb(ə)l/Submit adjective 1. impossible to believe. "an almost incredible tale of triumph and tragedy" synonyms: unbelievable, beyond belief, hard to believe, unconvincing, far-fetched, implausible, improbable, highly unlikely, dubious, doubtful
I never even had that thought--about Melania--until I was looking at one of those Mainstream Media news or news-style programs on cable TV and saw Melania as part of a large array (like about 20 faces of different people that are currently part of or closely attached to the Trump WH) being discussed as "suspects".
It wasn't meant to be a fully serious contribution to this discussion. I guess I am hesitant to say that it was 100 percent of a joke or jest, because to me, the age of Trump is extraordinary, beyond any reality that I could have imagined before his having acceded to POTUS. So, I say that this was 99 percent intended as a joke or jest.
I have not read any large part of the NYT Op-Ed from "Anonymous". I have only seen the excerpts from it that were (and surely continue to be) reported on MSNBC.
I think that whatever the intended purpose or hoped for outcome that was imagined for this text, that it gives me a negative impression of the person or persons who authored it. I think it has a Self Congratulatory aspect to it that does not make me think all that highly of the person or persons who created it.
I would like the person (or persons) to come forward publicly, with their real name(s) and face(s), and offer their resignation(s) from the Trump administration. That, I think, would be the best way for him (her; them) to give affirmation and reality to these criticisms or critique of the presidency of Donald Trump.
If you are of the opinion that "the age of Trump is extraordinary, beyond any reality that I could have imagined before his having acceded to POTUS", just think what state of affairs America would be in if HRC had been elected?

“The Irony in the op-ed from the NYT’s anonymous WH coward is glaring and massive: s/he accuses Trump of being ‘anti-democratic’ while boasting of membership in an unelected cabal that covertly imposes their own ideology with zero democratic accountability, mandate or transparency.”
After having taken more time to reread the NYT screed in more detail, I'm more of the opinion that whoever actually wrote it is a leftist. The quote above from Glenn Greenwald reinforces my opinion.
I have to wonder if this entire story is fabricated to cause distrust and division, paranoia and witch hunts. I don't put any weight of truth in this source or story.

But many people never question the media. Just plants more seed of distrust. The left knows no low nor is there a a level they would not go to to get back into power.
Personally, I suspect this op-Ed was written by a Liberal in an attempt to stir the pot.

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun.... Open your frigg'n minds, think about all the other tools that can be made into WMDs.
My wife told me to grow up. I told her to get out of my fort!
The leaked information is coming from Russians who have perfected invisibility and time travel...so they will never be caught. Oh wait, I forgot the Russians are on Trumps side. Never mind. Could it be aliens...? Maybe they have the perfect extermination plan. Make everyone on the planet enemies of everyone else so everyone kills each other off, and they can take the planet without having to do anything physical or risky to themselves.

I think this is a complete fabrication by somebody at the NYT.
If in fact it actually was somebody in the administration I think it shows more about the whiney crying ignorant loony left than the Pres.
These Bozo's need a reality check. Maybe I should just say clowns. I do not mean to besmirch the good reputation of Bozo the clown in any way. The corrupt commie Leftists and their nose up the ass corrupt media do not reach the level of respect to call them a Bozo.
'Anonymous' no more: Former DHS official Miles Taylor reveals he is writer of scathing Trump op-ed
quote
Miles Taylor said he's "Anonymous," the unnamed administration official who wrote a New York Times op-ed and a book criticizing the president.

Miles Taylor, the former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff who stepped forward in August to blast President Donald Trump's leadership, said Wednesday he's "Anonymous," the senior administration official who wrote a scathing op-ed and book about the Trump White House.
It also clears "Senior WH staffer" as this guy was the Chief of Staff for the DHS secretary for only weeks. He is now a paid CNN consultant. Just another RINO Grifter.
