"Yeah, I would say Jeff should be investigating who the author of this piece was because I really believe it's national security," Trump told reporters Friday aboard Air Force One.

Neither Trump nor the White House have identified a specific crime that has been committed.

the more he rallies against this op-ed the more i believe it tbqh

Someone really needs to tell him that hurting his feelings is not a national security threat.

I'd bet someone did, and he just stomped his feet and said "I'm the President! It's national security if I say so!".

Trump basically directly confirmed a number of stories in both the op-ed and Woodward's book in his rally last night.

Wait, so

Doesn't the fact that he is referring to this as a national security threat more or less confirm the truthfulness of the article? If the things being said in the article were untrue, then it would indicate to Trump that the person who wrote it isn't actually a high level staffer. But what he's saying is "I don't want this staffer in my meetings because it could be dangerous" - literally acknowledging that it really could be one of his people

he was literally slurring his speech during that rally. even worse than that time he made an announcement regarding Jerusalem.

nothing in the op-ed implies the author was reading or accessing documents (s)he didn't have clearance for. the person is a "high ranking White House official". here it is, in case you'd like to read it

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html

where did you get this idea of "snatching important papers off of the desk of the PotUS"?

edit: were you talking about this?

https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/why-the-anonymous-trump-officials-op-ed-in-the-times-matters

because that doesnt imply that the author of the op-ed was "snatching papers".

Don't you think it's a little concerning that the President's attention span about issues of national policy lasts as long as the paper's physically sitting in front him?

I say investigate away, the reason they were doing this(if it even happened) will come out as well.

There's no real chance it's not a man. There's basically no female high-ranking officials in the WH.

That in no way justifies stealing it.

That was from the Woodword book, not the NYT op-ed


And that "someone" was named as Gary Cohn in the book. Swing and a miss.
