A Forgotten Coup

I was depressed in the week before the election because - regardless of the ensuing outcome - an executive agency took a shameless hit on its non-preferred candidate at precisely the moment it could have the greatest impact on the election. I will go to my grave believing that it cost HRC the election but that's really beside the point. The points are that a domestic law enforcement agency more or less staged the closest thing it could to a coup. That this "executive" agency operated independently from the President that supposedly controlled it. And that, a week or so later, nobody, including that President, really seems to give a shit about it.
