Jerome Corsi, a conspiracy theorist with links to both ex-Trump aide Roger Stone and Infowars host Alex Jones, has been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., Friday as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, his attorney says.

Trump Denounces ‘Gutless’ Editorial
President Trump denounced what he called a “gutless editorial” posted by the New York Times, “an essay written by an unnamed administration official claiming that advisers to the president were deliberately trying to thwart his ‘misguided impulses’ from the inside,” the New York Times reports.
Said Trump: “We have somebody in what I call the failing New York Times talking about he’s part of the resistance within the Trump administration. This is what we have to deal with.”

AH, BUT IT SURE SOUNDS TRUE:
A Soft Coup Against the President
David Graham: “It’s not just that many sources were willing to tell Woodward damaging stories about Trump: The most stunning examples are those where top aides REPORTEDLY THWARTED HIS WILL. Even more stunning is an anonymous op-ed published in The New York Times Wednesday afternoon written by a purported ‘senior official in the Trump administration.'
“The op-ed is so bizarre that it is tempting to dismiss it as fantasy—akin to the obviously bogus Twitter accounts that flourished early in the administration claiming to be by saboteurs inside the White House… Yet what the anonymous official says lines up closely with the accounts in Woodward’s book, in which officials steal documents, act on their own, and simply DISREGARD orders from the president.
“If you believe that Trump does not have the judgment and temperament for office—not a difficult conclusion to draw—this is a win of a sort. Yet the actions described in the book and in the op-ed are extremely worrying, and amount to a soft coup against the president.”

Washington Post: “The anonymous nature of the column is likely to intensify a persistent suspicion among Trump supporters — that a ‘deep state’ within the federal government is actively working against him and his agenda.”

THE UNHINGED ONE BECOMES EVEN MORE UNHINGED
White House Launches Frantic Search for Op-Ed Writer
“President Trump and his aides reacted with indignation Wednesday to an unsigned opinion column from a senior official blasting the president’s ‘amorality’ and launched a frantic hunt for the author, who claims to be part of a secret ‘resistance’ inside the government protecting the nation from its commander in chief,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump reacted to the column with ‘volcanic’ anger and was ‘absolutely livid’ over what he considered a treasonous act of disloyalty, and told confidants he suspects the official works on national security issues or in the Justice Department.”
“The column sent tremors through the West Wing and launched a frantic guessing game. Startled aides canceled meetings and huddled behind closed doors to strategize a response. Aides were analyzing language patterns to try to discern author’s identity, or at a minimum the part of the administration where the author works.”

This Is a Constitutional Crisis
David Frum: “Impeachment is a constitutional mechanism. The 25th Amendment is a constitutional mechanism. Mass resignations followed by voluntary testimony to congressional committees are a constitutional mechanism. Overt defiance of presidential authority by the president’s own appointees—now that’s a constitutional crisis.
“If the president’s closest advisers believe that he is MORALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY UNFIT for his high office, they have a DUTY to do their utmost to remove him from it, by the lawful means at hand. That duty may be risky to their careers in government or afterward. But on their first day at work, they swore an oath to defend the Constitution—and there were no ‘riskiness’ exemptions in the text of that oath.”

THE 'GUTLESS' ONES ARE THE REPUBLICANS WHO WILL NOT STAND UP TO THE BARBARITIES OF THIS DESPOT AND RESCUE OUR NATION FROM HIM.
S.Scott is a coward. His own team doesn't think that he is capable of performing his duties as President.
The true cowards are the deep state Democrats who attempt to remove a duly elected president by any means possible.
Truly despicable and unpatriotic.
And roast in hell "pastor" with your spam.
Dan Coats is the author of the editorial.
@Lawrence
In “Fear: Trump in the White House,” Woodward’s forthcoming exposé on Trump’s presidency, the Watergate reporter describes a scene in which former chief economic advisor Gary Cohn “stole a letter off Trump’s desk” before the president could sign it to keep him from terminating a trade agreement with South Korea. The book is also filled with interviews from officials expressing grave concerns about Trump’s fitness for office.
In the essay published by the Times, the author bolsters those claims.
He wants the New York Times to give the name of the author of the editorial. Giuliani went nuts on Como on CNN. He said that the author violated security laws by criticizing the President.
The author should speak out prior to submitting his or her resignation, and bring along the rest of the rescue team.
He did far worst than violate security laws. He unlawfully and unconstitutionally userped power and authority from the duly elected president ofthe United States.
Rather ironic that Roger worries about Trump upending the republic while worshipping the deep-state functionaries who are the real threat to the republic.
So I guess we're done denying the existence of the deep state

Good grief, we don't call you dopie for nothing.
And I call you a loser because you are!!!!! keep slurping and swallowing....LOLOL
There was no nationa security information was revealed in the editorial. It was not TREASON. The President is not mentally capable of performing his duties as President.
There was no nation security information was revealed in the editorial
Why let a fact get in the way of cramps obsessive opinion???????
Does the so-called “Senior Administration Official” really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!
This is another example of the authoritarian government that this President desires.
I think that this person should step down and reveal his or her identity.
This editorial confirms the information in the pending Woodward book Fear
This is not a confirmation of the irrational Deep State conspiracy. The fact that a member of the President's administration has important information on the President, and how the people in the White House staff contain the impulsive nature of the President who has no foreign policy experience, and poses a clear and present danger to the United States is not illegal.
The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.
It is obvious to anyone who is actually looking at Trump and his history of infedelity in his personal and professional life this editorial confirms what we already knew.
All reports from the White House state that he is furious and is in a rage. His staff is appalled, but they still act to contain the impulsive President.
From the White House to executive branch departments and agencies, senior officials will privately admit their daily disbelief at the commander in chief’s comments and actions. Most are working to insulate their operations from his whims.
Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.
“There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next,” a top official complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he’d made only a week earlier.
I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration https://nyti.ms/2CyF3Jh
Balls, you claim to have a higher level education. Rather than depend upon Fox News or the various right wing websites, read the entire article. You should be deeply concerned about the President.
Lol @ alky and his punk Denise.
