This is an excellent article worth reading to the end. HC

Victor Davis Hanson had a superb article at American Greatness on Monday, proclaiming the death of the Deep State coup attempt against Trump and offering an autopsy of it. The autopsy is gripping, and I can’t recommend strongly enough that you read it in full. The scope of what was attempted, and the losses in institutional trust and integrity, are breathtaking. There’s another issue however, all of the legitimate counterintelligence investigations that were ignored while the Deep State was trying to overturn the Trump presidency.

I do think Hanson is right to say that the coup attempt, as we can legitimately call it – since there was never any evidence of Russia-Trump “collusion” to interfere with the 2016 election – has failed. The attempt he outlines, involving the Department of Justice, the FBI, and a slew of Obama officials at the NSC and other vital agencies (e.g., State, CIA), has been too thoroughly exposed to continue.

Indeed, Hillary Clinton is in no position to keep paying anyone to pump air into it. And whatever the DNC’s involvement was in 2016, the leadership has changed since then, and the party itself is undergoing a transformation only dimly understood right now. If DNC HQ is pulling strings in a current effort to unseat Trump in an untimely, extra-electoral way, there’s no sign of it.

I do perceive frequent evidence that people in the permanent bureaucracy are still trying to undermine Trump’s policies. No matter who Trump puts in jobs related to environmental policy, those officials are immediately attacked for long lists of trumped-up “ethics violations,” which no one has the courage to say are trumped up and manifestly lobbed out as political attacks.

Likewise, there is a cohort of Unnamed Officials in intelligence and foreign relations always at the ready to spin foreign-affairs “leaks” that seem to make the Trump administration, and especially Trump himself, look clueless and incompetent. Careful follow-up routinely shows that none of these disclosures is a “bombshell,” but instead represents the use of information that everyone with a clearance has, to lay media landmines in advance of the administration’s policy choices.

All of that is to say that the focused, high-profile coup attempt may be dead, but the campaign to undermine the Trump presidency continues.

Which brings us to the House of Representatives.
