MSNBC commentator Lawrence O’Donnell has posited an “educated guess” on who he thinks wrote the anonymously published op-ed column that talks about White House efforts to protect the nation against the president of the United States, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

O’Donnell thinks it’s Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, who’s in his 70s and is occupying the final public service job in his career.<\/p>\n

The more I think about it the more plausible O’Donnell’s guess appears to be.<\/p>\n

Then I went back to the essay and found this passage: … United States continued to impose sanctions on the country for its malign behavior.<\/em><\/p>\n

I zeroed in on a pair of terms: malign behavior<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I have heard that phrase used exactly once in my life. It was stated recently to discuss the Russian involvement in attacking our electoral system.<\/p>\n

It came from, yep, DNI Dan Coats.<\/p>\n

Coincidence that it appeared in this NY Times commentary? I think not. Read the essay here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n
