As the frantic attempts by die-hard Democrats, the media, and the CIA to prevent Donald Trump from being sworn into office reach a fever pitch, Hillary Clinton's anguished cry seems like the only appropriate response. Trump won the election, he's now announcing his Cabinet, and that's the end of the matter.

Or is it only the beginning?

When the CIA targets a country for regime change, I wouldn't bet the farm on the targeted government surviving. And while this isn't quite Allende's Chile, America's increasing resemblance to a banana republic is augured in the CIA's refusal to appear at a congressional oversight committee to explain leaks in the press charging that Russian intelligence actively worked to elect Trump. So who's in charge here – the CIA or the people's elected representatives?
