I remember that saint dutch in his last term was walking the halls of the whitehouse like Vincent "the Chin" Gigante in his robe muttering to himself in the throes of alzenheimers. The people around him were very tight lipped as to his condition until well after his presidency. This particular OpEd smells of the #metoo moment meaning #metoo I am an inportant asshole with insider info that I want to aggrandize myself with. I hope the opinion writer is exposed so that who ever he may want to work for in the future realizes they have a useless rat aboard if hired.
