So today, someone claiming to the a senior member of the Administration (not named) wrote an OP ED piece for the NYT, stating that there are adults surrounding Trump  that keep him from his worst decisions and impulses.  Was this timed to coincide with Woodward's book; or did something major happen and caused this person to write it?  The speculation is that Mattis wrote it, but in my mind, it reads like someone younger wrote it.  So now there will be additional speculation who authored this piece.
