That would still be incorrect. The Vice President is absolutely a senior administration official. And in this hypothetical of whether it was Pence who wrote the op-ed, it would be a little silly to say the anonymous author is the Vice President. If it were him, they would accurately refer to him as a senior level official, of which he is.
We are really talking semantics, but it doesn’t surprise me that we can’t even agree on something this trivial. I have no real interest in making a mountain out of a mole hill, so I’ll move along.
yep good point, they would have said the anonymous writer is one of the vice presidents in the administration. You’re way too smart for these guys pee cakes.
I tried instigating the lodestar subject but most responses were that Pence was setup. I dont buy it. I think it was Pence. Which would be unprecedented and ■■■■■■■ nuts
Nobody in their right mind would go out on this limb without having the support of at least a majority of the cabinet. If something like this even came up for discussion it would have to be an all or nothing prospect. Pence isn’t going to start running his mouth about the 25th if he doesn’t already know he has the support to pull it off. Someone like Coats or Pompeo isn’t going to have the clout to pull this off and survive. I don’t see Mattis or Kelly pulling this without the other on board.
The only way it’s a single person is if it’s a disposable person like Kellyanne.
