What if it's true?
Put another way, if there were a name behind it would you believe any of it anyway?
A letter to stir the camp. I'm against Trump and I'm in his camp. Come find me.
If it were something I felt strong about that would be good for a cause (whatever that may be), I think I'd go forward and take the risk of being forever hunted. What would a good cause be? If I knew I could prevent the 2nd amendment from being abolished - I would come forth. If I knew I could prevent 10k babies from being aborted, I would come forth. If I knew I could take action to keep the government out of church, I would.
The author, described only as "a senior Trump administration official," is the same person who wrote an op-ed in The New York Times last year headlined, "I am part of the resistance inside the Trump administration."
They do have an ulterior motive as a self proclaimed member of the “Resistance”If there were a name, one could explore how well positioned the person was to make the observations and explore whether they may have an ulterior motive. etc., etc., etc.

Yet another "anonymous" (read, cowardly and probably completely fictional) source with "warnings" about Trump. How is this not considered libel? No proof, no evidence, just spewing out negative nonsense. Of course Rachel Madcow and others of her ilk laps it up.

Our Republic has had unstable leadership in the past and survived. This, too, shall pass.
The 2A is in no danger of being abolished. There's nothing any one person can do about abortion. Nor about the intersection of church and state.
That's just my take.
It is rather difficult for anybody directly refute an allegation by an anonymous accuser. Hell, it was hard enough for Mitt Romney to directly refute Harry Reid's accusation on the Senate floor that he hadn't paid income taxes in years - which Reid later admitted was a *bold face lie*. At that point it didn't matter, the damage was done.
This is same/same.
Let's be real here, this is COWARDLY...if it is even real at all (there's no way to verify - after all, the supposed author is 'anonymous').
Be strong enough in your convictions to publicly own them or keep your yap closed. All this serves to do is support confirmation bias and spread FUD.

Here's the catch though. Anonymous wrote an entire BOOK about the ineptness coming out of the White House. Assumedly, the author is going to name names and places. If this is a work of fiction, then Anonymous has some BIG brass swinging ones. Like HUUUUGE. The allegations expected out of this book, again if fiction, should have named persons licking their chops at the payout they're going to get.... while at the same time bankrupting the publisher. Just something to consider.

To be "that guy" but there are SOOO many fake stories regarding Obama, Clinton, Trump, and various other politicians. Pretty much since Social Media gained momentum. Not saying this current story is true or false but what is the historical rate of politicians suing a writer for libel? Probably pretty low. But since this is politics, truthfulness has little to do with the author. Anonymous authors, supporters obviously critical (rightfully so) of motives. Named authors, supporters write off author as political "hater" regardless of political position. Supporters will never believe (or at least rationalize it away) negative stories and political opponents believe ALL stories regardless of the source or lack of vetting. SSDD
The people that wrote the steele dossier are laughing at you. Did you ever find the elevator pee tapes yet?
