We already know that anonymous letters are despicable. In etiquette, as well as in law, hiring a hit man to do the job does not relieve you of responsibility.

I think people have a responsibility, if they write a letter, to make sure that they saw it themselves and it's not hearsay.
I have been threatened occasionally. But that happens to everybody who is writing this kind of things. Threats will come without fail. It might happen to the most 'innocent' texts. If it gets too much we call the police.
I'm not going to let people who work in the United States Department of Justice have their characters be assailed without any basis.
I just don't see anonymous sources as fair against a candidate. I think if someone has a real concern, they should come out and say it.
While the government can tell you that I am an innocent man, the government's letter cannot give me back my good name or my reputation.
As a public figure, you deserve to be treated fairly.
For people who may think they know, or have snippets of who I am, you can attack that person. That's part of being a public figure.
One serious drawback about letters is that, in order to get them, one must send some out. When it comes to the mail, I feel it is better to receive than to give.
My job isn't to strike guys out; it's to get them out - sometimes by striking them out.
A writer is supposed to have anonymity.
