The Anonymous Senior White House official who attacked Trump turns out to be a low level flunky

Back in 2018 the New York Times ran an Op-Ed by Anonymous who was billed as senior White House official.

To everyone, including the #FakeNews media, senior meant people like Pence, Pompeo, or a cabinet member. 

It turns out that the source was actually a politically biased low level aid who everyone had to look up to find out who he is.

When Miles Taylor wrote the op ed vowing to "resist" Trump, a blatantly dishonest thing for someone who is supposed to be working for the President to do, he wasn't DHS chief of staff he was just a DHS policy advisor.  A job he held for a few weeks. He had little access to the President so his "inside" insight was no better than that of any other of thousands of government employees.

Yet he and the NYT colluded to make we the people think that a senior member of Trump's White House was "resisting" and viciously attacking Trump. That wasn't the case.

This is another reason to not trust anything based on anonymous sources.

Oh did I mention that Taylor is on leave from Google and is currently a paid on-air contributor to CNN.

He also lied to Anderson Cooper who directly asked him if he was "Anonymous".

He milked the lie for personal enrichment too writing a book called "A Warning" which sold because it was supposedly written by someone in the know.  Essentially Taylor stole from every one who paid for the book by pretending to be someone who had inside access when he didn't.

He admits to deliberately lying in order to get more credibility than he would have if he hadn't pretended to be someone important.

And the NYT helped him. Don't forget that. The NYT deliberately fooled you so as to make a controversy that would hurt Trump.

Taylor and the NYT wanted you to think that someone who saw Trump on a daily, if not more frequent basis, was calling out Trump's bad policies. Instead it was just some random guy who didn't know anymore than any of thousands of government bureaucrats.

What's truly amazing is that one of his big attacks against Trump was that Trump's declaring the #FakeNews media to be a threat was evil.  Yet his entire story is an example of the #FakeNews media lying to you to get you to vote for Democrats.
