A Conspiracy Against the United States of America?

What happens when individuals so distrust our institutions that they refuse to accept the results of any investigation? They choose to investigate the investigators. They do not accept the legitimacy of any dept of government except the Executive and his Attorney General.

They do not trust the FBI or the CIA or any part of our country's intelligence. They do not trust our State Dept. They discredit everything from the opposition Party and from the press of our nation. They tell their supporters it is all "fake news".

When the people choose to believe one or two individuals over our established institutions, there is a very serious problem. When they choose to investigate the investigators, they are creating a conspiracy against our government. Institutions cannot survive under such conditions.

In order for a government to remain stable, its citizens must have faith in its basic institutions. Those that seek to destroy that relationship are guilty of conspiring against our government. We are presently witnessing a conspiracy against the United States of America.
