I have no doubt they are behind this, but what can they possibly gain by delegitamizing Trump or any GOP POTUS at the very start of his term of office.

Spiteful pols willing to put the nation at risk for revenge? That is what a real press would be actively pursuing.
I shouted out who killed the Kennedys-when after all-it was you and me.
