Plausible story emerging from trustworthy journalists in Turkey on why the coup went down the way it did that fits what we know from before.

What happens after a botched and rushed coup attempt does not explain origin. Winners & the powerful can use situations they did not author.

News outlets. Turkey is complex. Lucky for you, lots of forced out English speaking journalists. Go hire

When I get near a computer I'll try to compile more lists of solid, forced out journalists in Turkey. Western coverage has been mostly off.
