If there was a grand government conspiracy to keep Trump from power, why didn’t they keep him from power the first time? And why has this conspiracy been so ineffective at disappearing or otherwise fast-tracking a baseless trial against him to convict and imprison him? Why hasn’t the CIA or FBI simply taken him out, given their historic track record of taking out foreign or domestic politically problematic persons?

What conspiracy could be so ineffective as to permit him to not only rise to power, but to attain it for a time, and to try to reclaim it?
