Where in the past has the Pentagon remotely done anything of the sort, even to that bastard BJClinton? When?
And I defy you to define "near-coup."
I won't argue this point. During the Clinton years, it was common knowledge in certain Washington, D.C., Crystal City/ Alexandria/Vienna/Reston, VA "watering holes" where regulars from the Pentagon, the CIA, Secret Service and other agency career employees would hang out and compare horror stories.
Call it what you want. There were some people in Washington that absolutely hated Clinton, and discussed certain potential events. That's all that I will say on this subject.
