BLIND GOSSIP

The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

The Key Person

[Blind Gossip] You may recall that there was a New York Times blind item last week about a resister who admitted to swiping papers off of President Trump’s desk to keep him from signing them.

Well, Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward recently released a book about the Trump administration titled Fear… and has presented his own blind item about a White House staffer!

During The New York Times podcast The Daily, Woodward claimed that “one key person” in the administration privately called him after the release of his book.

After the information in Fear started breaking last week, one key person who’s in the office called and said, “Everyone knows what you said here is true. It’s 1,000 percent correct.”

And then this same person said some public things that contradicted that!

And I’m not happy, but I have a smile on face because the truth in all of this is going to emerge. There’s too much evidence, too many witnesses.

Is The Key Person who called Woodward after the book’s release the same person as The Resister? Or are they two different people?

Did The Key Person call Woodward from a pay phone? Why didn’t they meet in a parking garage? Did The Key Person tell Woodward, “The list is longer than anyone can imagine. It involves the entire US intelligence community”? Did they tell him, “Follow the money”?

So many unanswered questions!

Anyway, there were many senior officials who came forward in the past week to deny that they were The Resister in the New York Times article, as well as to denounce the veracity of Woodward’s new book.

On Monday’s Today Show, Woodward was asked about those senior officials.

They are not telling the truth. These are political statements to protect their jobs. Totally understandable.

We do not know if there will be fresh round of denials from the same folks about being The Key Person.

    • It’s not treason but the person should be fired. If everyone is saying the same thing about Trump, everyone can’t be wrong.

    • Do you actually know what the definition of treason is? Here it is: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” A court later found the “aid and comfort” part to be applicable only when engaged in war. Please stop throwing around terms like that. I get it, you really really hate the guy. But treason? Hyperbole much?

  5. I suspect it’s a Former staff member like Bannon. That guys sell out his own mother for a buck.

  6. Pence?
    Bolton?
    Well if an executive with Coke stole a document for Pepsi they would be fired. So yeah.

  7. Oh, so noble! As long as things go in the direction Woodward and co. want them to go.

    No clue, not sure I believe these people even exist and these stories are truthful.

    Yet, if they exist and Trump uncovers who they are, he should fire them.

  8. Really? It’s easy to claim “anonymous sources” say one thing or another, especially when no one will come forward and everyone can deny it.

    I don’t believe ANYTHING from these “anonymous sources”, nor from anyone using these “sources”. They’re being put out there to create confusion and conflict.

    Trump should fire whomever these “anonymous sources” are, as any boss should.

    • They’re only anonymous to us, not to the New York Time or Bob Woodward. The NYT chose to keep the op ed writer’s identity anonymous…neither said the information came to them anonymously. Confidential sources don’t give information “on the record” in order to protect themselves and/or their careers, thus the anonymity.

  11. Sorry special snowflakes from the far right-this letter is not against your agenda. It is not about the media (Or hillary!) or any other distraction. Don’t use its existence as a way to dig your heels in further-bc I assure you, it’s like quicksand. This is about reassuring the American public that what we think is happening truly IS but at least there are people there trying to save our democracy as we know it.
    So get over your self righteousness.

    Both there from the start: McGahn or Nikki…

  12. Woodward is the only liar here, trying to salvage his book and his legacy. Makes you wonder how much of Watergate was not true.

  13. WOODWARD IS A FAME * NOTHING MORE OR LESS.
    TRUMP IS A SAINT COMPARED TO ALL THE DEMS AND QUITE A FEW REPUBLICANS.
    HE AT LEAST DIDN’T KILL SETH RICH OR HILLARY’S NURSE/BODYGUARD WHO MANNED THE EPIPEN!!!!!!!!!

    • What happened to the nurse guy with the epipen? Seriously, I thought I knew everyone she had offed.

  14. Every day in this country is like a new episode of some evil, weird, wild and confusing reality show.
    I can’t keep up with everything going on…so I just go about my day and figure when the time comes, I’ll find somewhere to hide out until things get back to normal.

    It does make for a very interesting White House, tho. I bet its like a laser tag game in there- people hiding from one another, hoping not to get in anyone’s sight, for fear they get yelled at or worse, fired…

    Good luck…

    • Great call on Key, it also be her husband.
      Resister: I have a lot of trouble with Kelly. He is career military.
      I am banking on Huntsman, our Ambassador to Russia.

  16. I don’t believe any of this. I believe the Dems are so desperate since the “Russian Collusion” fell apart, and came back to bite them on the derriere, that they’ve resorted to one lie after another. Several just about choked on their teeth when Bruce Ohr testified yesterday and sold them down the river.

    • I agree, and they seem unaware that many are smart enough to see through their lies and schemes, and are not falling for them.

    • Kind of sad when it’s obvious that you consider more than half the population that does not want to think the same way you do, to be your enemy.
      Life is cyclical.
      Truth will out.
      I can wait.

    • Dems were not desperate about collusion. In fact, President Trump is quite desperate about it as he constantly will not fail to let us all know that there was “no collusion” every chance that he gets. He does not ever ever want to sit down with Mueller and discuss how much he obstructs justice. Why did he dictate a misleading letter for Trump Jr.? Oh Sarah says that’s what any father would do..really? Any father would help his son cover up when he’s talking with foreign adversaries I…

    • I agree, it’s nothing more then desperation on the Dems part. Anyone writing a book that is Anti-Trump can get it published. Barnes and Noble sent out emails announcing you can pre-order Stormy Daniels new book. I know whenever I look for truth in this world, I consult aging prostitutes !

  17. Omarosa went on the View and played a Tape of Trump talking about the Hillary colluding with Russia and the spying scandal. The left is falling for a sting. They are proving that the deep state exists.

  18. everyone throws around the word treason like it’s this catch-all crime for any infraction within the political arena. it is not. treason in the u.s. is only levied against someone who goes to war with the u.s. or if they give aid of any kind to an enemy.

  20. I don’t know who the leaker is, but it drives me crazy that Woodward so casually describes “political lies” designed to save a job. There was a time when the truth was the truth and a lie was a lie. This tells us everything we need to know about Washington!

    • I’ve been called naïve for thinking the same thing.
      However, this has been going on since Day 1. Since when have politics and integrity been compatible? Holding someone of a higher status accountable can be a literal death sentence for your career or even your body, and not many will risk it. Denial is now an involuntary reflex when it comes to current politicians, especially if it will impact their position. Very sad indeed.

  21. Resister- Mad Dog Maddox with assistance from John Kelly (actually care about saving the democracy)

    Key- Kellyanne Conway (to save her own behind)

  23. The whole thing is frigging awesome. Let the whole sham of an administration come tumbling down, can’t stand Trump.

    • I’d rather the whole truth to come tumbling down, not some “anonymous” letter that you don’t know is the truth or a lie. If it were true, then why hide yourself, reveal yourself if whatever you’re exposing is true! Until then, it just comes off as yet one more desperate antic from the left, because of hatred for Trump, and because some still can’t accept the fact that he won the presidency.

  26. Key Person = Karen Pence

    This way, Mike Pence can honestly claim neither he nor his staff wrote/said anything, but when it hits the fan, he can still claim to be the lodestar.

    I suppose my hope that Pence would be the modern day Spiro Agnew are dashed…

  28. Omg this is exhausting.

    Show me a politician that isn’t corrupt and I’ll show you a vegan Great White Shark.

  29. The longer this goes on, the more I think this is Jared, without Ivanka’s knowledge or approval. Jared and his businesses have lots of heat on them legally and civilly.

    Lots of questions about ownership and investors that Mr. Kushner is trying to avoid in court. The heat is on and it’s only getting hotter. His dad is already a convicted felon yet is Jared’s partner. Imagine who they want to keep anonymous.
