IMHO it is a bit premature to believe the coup failed.

VDH is The Master at great writing and logical flow.

Without prosecution, without the enforcement of the rule of law, the dems will do this again and probably are right now.

VDH assumes this is the first time it has happened. I doubt it. I do believe the reason they did it is because they have gotten away with it in the past. In fact, the very existence of a “Deep State” informs me they HAVE done it before.

Indeed. I’m pretty sure this goes back at least as far as JFK. But I expect the next few months to expose the Deep State pretty thoroughly and I’m hoping the uncovering goes deep enough so that quite a bit of history needs to be rewritten.

I think a great deal of the 20th century was basically a lie.

You are much more optimistic than I. Glad you are out there.

Kennedy survived 2 years 10 months and 2 days.

The Deep State well remembers its successes, by any means necessary.

It’s a bit early to say the coup is over.

The article should be re-run every day in the WSJ, NYT, etc.

“Or as Rutenberg put it in 2016: “If you view a Trump presidency as something that’s potentially dangerous, then your reporting is going to reflect that.”

This was during the CAMPAIGN. The Democrat media was doing all they could to assure Hillary’s victory. They were insane with grief when she lost and determined they would stop at nothing, even calling their effort “Whatever It Takes”, to right the wrong that the voters had done against Hillary and the Leftist dream of finishing Obama’s “transformation” of America.

Everyone in government who had this mindset should be arrested for treason. This was an attempted coup and should never have happened in the USA.

“It’s a bit early to say the coup is over”

I agree. Unless there are consequences nothing will change. It’s out in the open now. It comes to a head the right way, or patriots will have to use more direct measures to get their attention. The DS is not going to win this.

This excellent piece should be mandatory reading for all Americans who believe in the rule of law and the Constitution.

That of course leaves out every Democrat.

Never count your chickents, but I believe this coup was defeated.

Not that they won’t try again, of course...

The plotters overlooked the possibility that if their coup succeeded in ousting Trump, it could trigger a civil war. They believed the deplorables who voted for Trump were idiots who could be manipulated by the propaganda media into accepting an overthrow of a Constitutional election. If Trump were ousted, Pence, would be taken down by the same means. Did they somehow believe that by oustingTrump Hillary would be installed as President or Obama would be put back in the White House? I never understood their end game beyond getting rid of Trump. I believe these plotters actually wanted to overthrow not just Trump, but Constitutional government in favor of a fascist state ruled by elites like themselves.
