Former Trump Aide Michael Caputo: I Know Who the Op-Ed Writer Is

"She."

Not only did "she" hide behind an anonymous op-ed instead of quitting, she tried to pin the blame on her colleagues, leaving several hints in the piece that led analysts to different officials in the administration. She published the piece now in order to affect the midterms and impeach President Trump, Caputo also suggested.

...

Caputo left listeners a few other hints about the op-ed author’s identity:

"It's par for the course for her strange personality."

"It's dangerous to fire her because of who she's related to."

He added that the writer is "arrogant" and sees herself as "Captain America."

I think I know who he means. I'm not saying I know this; I'm saying that last week a rumor went around conservative circles, and he either heard the rumor too, or he was one of the people starting it.

Per the rumor, and comporting with Caputo's "it's dangerous to fire her because of who she's related to," the claim is that it's Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao, current Secretary of Transportation.

I'm not saying it's her. I'm just saying I've heard the same rumor floating around, and Caputo seems to be referencing it.

I don't put any stock in that and I don't put any additional stock in it just because Caputo is hinting around it. But I figure if people are hinting at it, you might as well know what they're hinting at.
