    It was a "soft coup." If the highest law enforcement and intelligence officials in Turkey, Sudan, or Thailand employed these same tactics in an attempt to block or overthrow the democratically-elected leader, US media would (rightly) describe it as a couphttps://twitter.com/markfollman/status/1121859557892870144 …

    Very disturbing and deserves more attention: Trump is now declaring the Mueller investigation "a coup" and "an attempted overthrow of the US government." As @atrupar notes, this can only deepen concerns about Trump's authoritarian impulses headed into 2020 https://www.vox.com/2019/4/26/18517763/trump-hannity-coup-mueller …

        Sorry but this was not a coup of any kind. Bill Clinton had a special prosecutor on his ass for 4 years and no one calls that a coup. Some of you guys are as bad as Trump’s right wing apologists. May I remind you there is no real opposition in those counties btw.

        What was done to Clinton was equally as disgusting whatever you choose to call it. And the ones most like Trump's RW apologists are the RussiaGaters, who are essentially doing the exact same thing to Trump, who I despise, as the right did to Clinton...

        If this was a coup, of any kind, then tell me who was supposed to be installed to replace Trump? Because I gotta tell you, from the left point of view, replacing Trump with Pence would not be a win.

        You think the real power behind what you're calling "the left" cares about gays or any policy regarding that? They care about pipelines, arms sales, surveillance, international trade deals etc. No one with real power cares about gays except insofar as using them as weapons.

        A hard coup on the public psyche as they intentionally incite terror and fear of Trump and his supporters dividing millions of friends and families forever.

        The Republican president's hand picked Republican deputy AG appointed the Republican special counsel, the report was released and Trump is still in power ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but sure, let's call this a coup.

        Hey, Mikey - Name three countries that haven't had a democracy or rule of law for at least the last decade, have laws against saying anything bad against the rulers, and are ruled by people who imprison anyone they disagree with. Oh wait, you did.

        To be fair, Trump (with his so to speak agents on the ground) essentially did carry out a soft coup in Brazil.
