Who's the Mole in Trump Tower?

[Chasing Dreams]

From Susanne Craig, NYT

In Metro, we get a lot of junk mail and are regularly flooded with correspondence from prisoners in New York’s penitentiaries.

But Friday, Sept. 23, was different.

I walked to my mailbox and spotted a manila envelope, postmarked New York, NY, with a return address of The Trump Organization. My heart skipped a beat.

Susanne and her colleagues did a nice bit of investigative journalism, but they don't know who's the mole. There's lots of suspects and clues, including:

A. One of Donald's children, who can't wait to cash in on their fame and want to begin doing so on November 9.

B. Kellyanne Conway, who made a deal with an Angel to invalidate her deal with the Devil.

C. Roger Stone, who thinks LBJ murdered JFK and is pissed off at how little Trump paid him.

D. Donald J. Trump, who has hundreds of millions riding on NOT beating the spread.

I know, I know...Trumpie looks like a weasel, not a mole.

What's your take?

1. Barron..

Trump said he was good with computers..

2. Someone not on this list.

And "Trump Tower" appearing as the return address means nothing. I could fly to London and mail an envelope with the return address as "Buckingham Palace." Doesn't mean I was ever in the building.

4. Maybe, but...

Susanne also says:

We obsessed over the documents, the envelope, the postmark, the date on the postmark — everything.

And my post is a bit in jest, of course

3. This is my guess

5. Marla?

[MFM008]

16. why not?

She would have a copy of tax returns when they were still married....
anythings possible.

[Freddie]

24. She probably signed a confidentiality agreement

As part of their divorce. Notice she never talks to the press about him, nor does Ivana. But since Marla signed the joint return, I'm sure she has a copy of it somewhere.
I'm thinking it's her daughter Tiffany. Sweet revenge for her daddy's neglect and obvious favoritism of his other children for all these years.

6. Probably not a mole, at least not in his inner circle

All they know for sure is that the letter came from the New York City area and someone put "Trump Tower" as the return address. New York itself has over 8 million people, it doesn't necessarily have to be one of Trump's family members or sr. campaign staff.

13. I'd guess someone at the accounting firm

That would be my guess. They might have digitalization their records so it would be a fairly quick search.

If they don't use this to claim and attack the IRS then that campaign really are fools.

[PJMcK]

29. Maybe the hypothesized accountants weren't paid in full

Long-term revenge is awesome when it works!

A question, underpants: Can you explain what you mean in your second sentence? Thanks.

[underpants]

30. Double up on the IRS hoax

No one likes the IRS so his campaign could just throw out that maybe "some people are saying" it was leaked by the IRS.

[PJMcK]

31. Got it, thanks! (n/t)

[Kathy M]

7. Could have been any number of people ....... inside or out ........

I do not know if we will know unless he/ she / they want it to be known ........

[TonyPDX]

8. He's screwed over so many people, there might be several.

[bravenak]

9. Melania

[grossproffit]

10. +1

[Bucky]

11. it's hard to imagine that Donald Trump would have any disgruntled employees

hahahahahahaha! I kill me!!

[Island Blue]

14. Tiffany.

It seems like she never gets any love from daddy. (Well none of them do, but he seems to keep her hidden away somewhere.)

[vinny9698]

15. I believe it is the mom, who did not want Tiffany to be corrupted by dad

A smart woman who knows exactly what kind of person Trump is. Not a good role model for her daughter.

[izzybella]

17. I'm going to go out on a limb here...

I think whoever plagiarized Michelle's speech is behind the leak.

[sarcasmo]

18. Marla Maples

[kairos12]

19. It was Carnival Cruz's dad while sneaking out that JFK file.

[Chasing Dreams]

25. Very possibly...

[nolabear]

20. Internet money's on Marla.

The next few days should be interesting.

[Hekate]

21. Whoever it is better be watching their own back. Donald is dangerous.

I wouldn't want to speculate too much, though I know how people love this game.

[jiminvegas]

22. John Barron?

[Historic NY]

23. Someone scorned?

[avebury]

26. Tiffany?

I someplace on Facebook that there is some speculation that it could be Tiffany. She is the least favored child. Out in the field today at work and can't look for a citation.

[no_hypocrisy]

27. In the cliche of "The Butler did it", I guess it's his "loyal" secretary of decades

Norma Foerderer.

[Motley13]

28. Hillary, she stole them when she was at his last wedding, Bill was the lookout

as she went through his desk.

as she said, she is blamed for everything
