I won't go into much detail about the infamous NYT op-ed. This excerpt is all you need:
I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration...What part of the agenda would that be? Denuclearization of North Korea? Lowest unemployment in decades (no, Obama did NOT do that) or the successful renegotiation of our major trade agreements?
I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda...
[M]any of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda...
That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office...
We will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.
And since when did anonymous and un-elected lower officials have the right to decide how to "steer" government in the direction they favor. It's an out and out attempt to nullify the results of an election and folks, that ain't democracy!
This op-ed validates every reason Republicans in Congress have for demanding documents and testimony from FBI and Department of Justice officials about what role they might have played in undermining the results of an election. And it explains why Democrats so demanding of full disclosure by Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court do exactly the opposite in relation to GOP document requests.
Imagine the reaction if there was an organized cabal in the Obama Administration determined to undermine his authority. Would the New York Times and other media give them a platform? If it was "treason" as some Democrats suggested because Trump didn't declare war on Putin, why is it not "treason" when this cabal openly brags about overturning the U.S. Constitution?
