I have no clue who this is, but there are gigantic clues all over the place that others within the administration can surely decipher. This person is probably toast in short order. He or she likely will be outed within days.
You don't think the person tried to cover their tracks?

It's possible the person actually wants to reveal themselves in reasonably short order, and keep the pot boiling in the interim.

quote:In the hours after the New York Times published the anonymous Op-Ed from "a senior official in the Trump administration" trashing the president ("I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration"), two senior administration officials reached out to Axios to say the author stole the words right out of their mouths.
"I find the reaction to the NYT op-ed fascinating — that people seem so shocked that there is a resistance from the inside," one senior official said. "A lot of us [were] wishing we’d been the writer, I suspect ... I hope he [Trump] knows — maybe he does? — that there are dozens and dozens of us."
quote:"The column ... launched a frantic guessing game. ... Aides were analyzing language patterns to try to discern the author’s identity or at a minimum the part of the administration where the author works."
"The phrase 'The sleeper cells have awoken' circulated on text messages among aides and outside allies."
"'It’s like the horror movies when everyone realizes the call is coming from inside the house,' said one former White House official."
