Thought more about anon Times op-ed, and I’m in the dangerous/cowardly camp. Either resign, ideally bringing hard evidence, or stay and quietly continue. Anon criticism worse than both. Will likely provoke Trump, who’ll feel a need to assert himself, and hurt admin’s functioning.
Make the president angry? I don’t know, of course. But my suspicions with this—and most op-ed-style writing—is the author’s conveying a genuine belief, rather than attempting manipulation.
