"The Democracy Dies in Darkness Café is located conveniently near the Capitol, the Hill and the FBI headquarters. 
It’s open all night and I stopped in for a late-night coffee with my friend, a fiction novelist who was depressed. 
“I spent a year writing about a coup attempt against an outsider who by strategic brilliance defeated the handpicked candidate of a cabal of establishment powerhouses. 

  • It involved the highest officials of the FBI and Department of Justice. 
  • They manipulated a FISA Court into letting them electronically surveil the candidate and all who worked with him, unmasked their names, leaked what they found, and they still couldn’t beat him. 
  • Then they engineered the recusal of the attorney general, got his deputy to appoint their bestest pal to be special counsel. 
  • Given free rein, he hired fierce partisans of the defeated candidate, used the ill-gotten information against her opponents to prosecute three people with minimal connection to the campaign -- one for a dubious process crime dependent on the notes of an FBI agent who had earlier orchestrated lies about Benghazi, covered up for the misuse of classified information by the losing candidate, and oversaw the investigation into the president.”

“Sounds great,” I said, so why are you depressed?”
“Every publisher I sent it to rejected it as being too implausible to sell to readers.”"...
Read it all and be warned!
