Former Mattis Speechwriter Won’t Admit or Deny to Fox News That He’s ‘Anonymous’ – By Justin Baragona (Daily Beast) / Nov 25 2019
The former Mattis staffer claimed the venue wasn’t the proper place to make an announcement of this type.
Former Pentagon aide Guy Snodgrass cagily refused to deny or admit that he was the infamous Resistance White House figure “Anonymous” during a Fox News interview on Monday, shortly after he was fingered as the most likely candidate.
Snodgrass’ name began making the rounds on social media early on Monday when The New Republic’s David Kusnet—who once correctly guessed the anonymous author of Clinton tome Primary Colors—found there was a striking resemblance between the writing style of Anonymous’ A Warning, the author’s notorious 2018 op-ed and Snodgrass’ memoir.
Snodgrass, a former speechwriter and comms director for ex-Defense Secretary James Mattis, kept the speculation going with a cryptic tweet.
The former Mattis staffer, who would be considered a one-time “senior official” of the Trump administration, appeared on Fox News Reporting on Monday afternoon to purportedly talk about the recent termination of Navy Secretary Richard Spencer. Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher, however, spent the majority of the interview peppering Snodgrass with questions about whether or not he was the senior Trump official working against the president from within the administration.
“If you look at the article, the author hits all the high points. He makes a very good case and the question is, are you Anonymous?” Gallagher initially asked.
“Great question,” Snodgrass replied. “I have a book out with my name on it called Holding the Line. I do appreciate that the New Republic said the writing was excellent across both books, that’s a great sales pitch. But I tell you what, if I was making an announcement like that, I’d do it right and come into the studio with you in New York City.”
