Powerline has gone full deep state
 [PowerLine] A DOJ Coup Attempt? No, An Honest Disagreement About The Election.Maybe if you work at CNN or Pravda The mainstream media has been promoting the story that, in early January, President Donald Trump entertained a plan to replace Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with an Assistant Attorney General who wanted to pursue claims of voter fraud. The Assistant in question is Jeff Clark whom I got to know, and like, when Democrats were blocking his nomination. The story, which first appeared in the New York Times, is that Clark came to believe that the election had been stolen from Trump. He wanted his boss, acting AG Rosen, to pursue the matter and to hold a news conference to announce that the DOJ was investigating serious allegations of fraud. Rosen refused. Clark, the story continues, got the ear of President Trump who, as a result of their discussion, considered replacing Rosen with Clark. This led to a showdown meeting at the White House. According to the Washington Post: Personally, I think Jeff exercised poor judgment. The cause was lost (maybe justly so, maybe not). Realistically, there was nothing to gain from encouraging Trump to fight on, and something to lose. After reading Paul Mirengoff's line "Trump played into his enemies hands by not having accepted the result of the election by the end of the year, if not sooner" I found myself needing a sand blast shower. Powerline gone to the Orwellian dust bin.
