Pence torpedoing himself via a "look, I'm really the good guy here" op-ed would be entirely in keeping with this ratfuck of an administration.https://twitter.com/danbl00m/status/1037428190166347776 …

Not saying it's anything other than a theory right now, but it is entirely possible to leave a forensic fingerprint via word choice/grammar.

It's much easier to plant one, though. Also, I know everyone on the internet is an expert in everything, but I actually am a linguist and it is literally my job to do natural language processing. The kinds of fingerprint you'd want are not raw lexical choices —

— but rather more subtle things like adverb placement and syntactical aberrations, as well as regionalisms and ESPECIALLY in the kinds of 'errors' someone makes. It's pretty trivial to throw a red herring into a text if you're clever, though.

Yes, which is why I said this is just a theory. However, if someone was going to use it as a red herring, they'd have to be intimately familiar with Pence's word choice, because that is a *very* uncommon word.

I'm more inclined to go with Trump's Razor, in that the stupidest answer is likely correct, and that Pence wrote it thinking he was being oh so clever.

I am definitely stealing Trump's Razor going forward.
