(47,419 posts)I certainly need to know more before I pass judgment on this person. On one hand, it would seem he/she should have come forward openly much sooner, but on the other hand, the person is a witness to most of what has happened in the White House. That could be of great value in the upcoming months.
If Anonymous had spoken out publicly early in the administration and revealed who they were, they may have just been ridiculed and fired by Trump. It probably would have been part of a brief news cycle, with a handful of interviews and possibly a book deal. Then as with so much in this administration, he/she along with the shocking revelations would be forgotten. It is hard to sustain the shock value of anything the man does or says, as he just keeps coming up with new and outrageous stunts.
We'll see. Anonymous could be Trump's Deep Throat or could just be an opportunist. As I said, I need to know more before I can judge.
