U.S. Was Closer To Coup D'Etat Than Ever Before

Aaron Burr, who was thought to be running for vice president but ended by opportunistically challenging Jefferson for president, requiring that the House of Representatives determine the victor, and who was later accused but acquitted of serious crimes, would not have done that.

Millard Fillmore, who succeeded to the presidency on the death of President Zachary Taylor and later ran as a third-party candidate in 1856 for the American Party, nicknamed the Know Nothings, which opposed immigration and the eligibility of Roman Catholics to hold public office, would not have dreamt of it.

Even today, main-line Democrats do not understand the countrys reservations about President Obamas flatlined new normal of no growth in family purchasing power, evaporating red lines in foreign policy, approval of Iranian and North Korean development of nuclear weapons with which to blackmail America and, in Irans case, threaten to exterminate Israel, and generally to blame white male Americans for every evil under heaven.

Mueller did not find adequate evidence of obstruction of justice by the president to recommend prosecution.

Mr. Nadler claimed that Mr. Barr had auditioned for the role of attorney general with legal articles approving the constitutional powers of the president, as if he had not served with distinction as attorney general before, and as if upholding the Constitution were reprehensible.

With a pause to avoid illegal indiscretions, the attorney general has promised to comply with the wishes of Congress and the President to make the report public.

Attempts to drive a president from office on the basis of allegations of betrayal of the country that they knew to be false is as close as the United States has ever been to an attempted coup dtat.
