Wait... Unless I'm seriously misreading, this is just a fancy wording of "Trump didn't do anything, it's the deep state!" Is there something here that isn't jus

  You are seriously mis-reading, I'm afraid. This is no defense of Trump - Taibbi repeats that Trump is corrupt, sexual predator indeed states... "Instead, it was a story about an infamously corrupt individual, Donald Trump, a pussy-grabbing scammer who bragged about using bankruptcy to escape debt and publicly praised Vladimir Putin. Audiences believed the allegations against this person and saw the intelligence/counterintelligence community as acting patriotically, doing their best to keep us informed about a still-breaking investigation of a rogue president." and "Trump stands accused of using the office of the presidency to advance political aims, in particular pressuring Ukraine to investigate potential campaign rival Joe Biden. He’s guilty, but the issue is how guilty, in comparison to his accusers." However I disagree with the idea that Trump should be left alone and that any investigations into his many flaws resembles a coup. The message is clear though - the intelligence services are not your friends, and they're not on your side even if you share a common enemy for the time being. That part is not indulging in conspiracy theory, it is common sense.
