OK, the Times is way out-trolling anything Cruz could do today.
"[W]e will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over." nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opi…
Hmmm.
"We've advanced conservative principles in spite of the president, who's amoral and erratic, so call me the resistance" is a helluva take, but it's not my op-ed and it's not my paper!
.@PressSec response to NYT:
Trump response to NYT op-ed:
There are many takeaways from the NYT op-ed — that go in truly different directions — but imagine thinking that this is what you should take away from it.

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

Here's @ZoeTillman on yesterday's hearing: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

1. I disagree with those claiming there’s a “soft coup” unfolding in the White House. I know. Yes, *I know*. That’s what it *looks like* when a “senior official in the Trump administration” writes an anonymous op-ed for the Times, revealing this:
2. Anon: Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president.
3. Anon: But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until—one way or another—it’s over.

A guess at identifying the NYT's infamous anonymous Trump insider americanthinker.com/blog/2018/09/a… via @AmericanThinker
This first clue tells me that it is a member of the swamp, coming from the position that government is an entitlement belonging to an elite, never meant to be sullied by the hands of an "outsider."
He is also among those who oppose Trump's use of tariffs and opposed his taking NATO and the E.U. to task for their looting of our goodwill.

.@nytimes anonymous oped author appears to make a threat toward the end of the article: "Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president.
But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over." What does "one way or another-it's over" mean? Is this enough to open a Secret Service investigation?
Obviously the person claims to be an official with access to the @realDonaldTrump Shouldn't this statement be enough to investigate? This should no longer be a west wing investigation but a @UniformedDiv_SS say my sources. What do you think?

💥KABOOM!! The inevitable mutiny. It begins.
nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opi…
The importance of the anonymous mutiny Op-ed:
• It’s a beacon to recruit other mutineers.
• It’s a “go” signal to GOPers in Congress to bail on Trump.
• It’s a green light for “lean GOP” voters to abandon Trump.
• The end is near. Maybe nearer than November.
Ha!! Pence likes him some "lodestar." Other clues:
• "Amoral" when he meant unethical, means he is hard Christian. Not Christian light.
• You can rally around "us" and get rid of Trump.
• Putin chose Pence, & Putin knows Trump is going down.

1 The @NYTimes #anonymous op-ed, annotated.
"We want the administration to succeed." Trump is useful to us. We think an unhinged, racist, sexist, p-grabbing president is a small price to pay...to have a smaller price to pay the IRS.

2 "and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous." Suck it, polar bears (see more on "deregulation" below).
3 "the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic." ...except that America is safer and more prosperous now. Hold the phone- is this even about policy???

🚨🚨THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS 🚨🚨

If you are a top official in the White House, you don't get plaudits for privately saving the republic from an unfit president. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION.

YOU ARE EXPECTED TO TELL CONGRESS OR INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT.
"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."

Dear lord.
"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."

THIS IS NOT OK.
