      Dear anonymous DOJ employees: You have to be fucking stupid if you think it's a good idea to call yourself rebels, even anonymously. Or have you missed the last 15 months of Trump targeting DOJ?https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1038125002460225536 …

      Two DOJ officials tell The Daily Beast they’ve been passively resisting Trump since he took office. "We see ourselves as rebels," one official said, adding that the op-ed marked a perfect time to celebrate. "We even went around fist-bumping each other." https://www.thedailybeast.com/we-see-ourselves-as-rebels-trumps-internal-resistance-celebrates?ref=home …

      Wait, I so respect your POV. Do you have a minute to expand for me?

      Replying to @aysham

      Yeah. My concern is that Trump and the House GOP have taken any hint of opposition from DOJ and chased it down and used it to discredit Mueller. I've written how that motivated me to come forward. Anything that further inflames that w/o good cause is ill-advised, IMO.

          Right? I totally agree & couldn't believe they would be so stupid. But then I had this moment of panic. What if Trump ppl in the DOJ intentionally put that out as a pretense so Trump could go after the DOJ for cause? I am hoping one our friends at DB will allay my fears🙃

          That thought crossed my mind about the anonymous oped in NYT. Regardless of intent, the net result is bolstering Trump's base against the "deep state" and Trump will use it as political cover w GOP & base if he decides to Nixon his way out.

          I don’t think the anon op ed hurts Mueller It’s (probably unintentional) psy ops against donny So far it’s working & it’s a pathetic attempt to future-whitewash some poor sap’s rep
