John Dietrich: Anti-Trump resistance at the senior level . . . "The Times published this essay because “We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers.” However, this “important perspective” is the same old anti-Trump perspective that has been peddled by the Deep State Media since before Trump was elected.

The author, whom the Times identified only as "a senior official in the Trump administration," claimed that he used his government position to thwart President Trump's "more misguided impulses."

7) We'll know more soon enough. The Times wrote that it granted the author anonymity because his "job would be jeopardized" by disclosure of his name. It seems hard to believe the author truly thinks he can remain anonymous — and keep his job — in the white-hot public attention his article will attract. One way or the other, his identity will likely come out, probably sooner rather than later. And then the story could become even more interesting.
