Anonymous Op-Ed by a Trump senior official: "There were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment...But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis."

These cowards know Trump is unfit but refuse to help remove him.

100% agree, Betsy!
"The root of the problem is Trump’s amorality."

These unelected, self-serving cowards know that Trump is a morally bankrupt, ignorant, unhinged lunatic but keep him office so THEY can run the country the way they like.

Trump campaign chair & deputy chair Paul Manafort & Rick Gates conspired with Russian GRU-linked Konstantin Kilimnik to pass internal polling data to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, whose private jet Kilimnik flew on to meet Manafort in AUG 2016.

In AUG 2016, after Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort's told him to share internal polling data with Putin ally Oleg Deripaska, Russian GRU-linked Kilimnik used Deripaska's jet to meet Manafort in NY – soon after he met with Deripaska in Moscow .
#Maddow
In SEP 2016, weeks after Kilimnik flew to NY on Oleg Deripaska's private jet to meet Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, Deripaska secretly met with Russia's deputy prime minister Prikhodko & briefed him on how to "solve the issue with America."

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

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.

.@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?

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???

Okay, who wrote this op-ed? (All items in quotes below are ACTUAL Trump quotes about these people. Don't @ me.)
"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." TOO LATE!

Whoa: Someone inside Trump Admin wrote an anonymous op-ed saying insiders are thwarting him: “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. We work for the president but we have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations” nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opi…
Senior Trump official: "Our duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic. [We] vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions…[He's] amoral, impetuous, adversarial, petty, ineffective."
Exasperated Trump admin officials admit their daily disbelief at Trump’s comments and actions. “Most are working to insulate their operations from his whims.” This @nytimes op-ed confirms the Woodward book’s remarkable details of Trump’s unfitness & danger to the country.
