It seems reasonable to speculate that the White House Press Corp:

1) Heard about the Trump Admin’s evolving coup plot

2) Didn’t report on it for a variety of reasons (eg would hurt their access; didn’t take it seriously; etc); and

3) Now, they’re in a bind

It seems absolutely impossible that the Maggie Haberman’s of the world didn’t hear *anything at all* about literally the only work anyone in the Trump Admin was doing for two months.

These crooks ain’t that slick… and a bunch of them saw nothing wrong with what they were doing.

Narcissists are experts at creating a coercive dependency that keeps people onboard with their misbehavior - or at least keeps them silent.

We’re quickly learning about the lawmakers who were onboard.

And I will bet any takers a large, frosty beer that we’re also going to learn that some of the worst access journalists knew things then that shock us to learn now.

Access journalism is about to go through some things.

If there is one thing that is becoming clear in warp speed, it is this:

Trump and his cronies were planning a vast coup attempt loudly and indiscreetly; this wasn’t a covert op planned in the skunkworks.

We weren’t warned because the White House journalists responsible for cultivating all of those relationships over four years didn’t warn us.

We’re going to learn why that is… and it ain’t gonna be because they had no idea.
