“The president was trying to stage a coup. There was little chance of it happening,
but there was enough chance that the former defense secretaries had to put out that
letter, which was the final nail through that effort. They prevented the military
from being involved in any coup attempt. But instead, Trump tried to incite it himself,”
said Fiona Hill, Trump’s former top Russia adviser. “This could have turned into a
full-blown coup had he had any of those key institutions following him. Just because
it failed or didn’t succeed doesn’t mean it wasn’t real.”

トランプ大統領の前ロシア関連のアドバイザーのFiona Hill「大統領はクーデターを試みていた。
クーデター成功の見込みは少ないながら、解任された前国防長官が書簡に述べたような事態が起
きる可能性は大いにあった。前国防長官らは米軍がクーデターに巻き込まれることを防止した。
しかしトランプは自らクーデターを扇動した」「議会襲撃事件は、もし政府機関が彼に同調して
いれば本物のクーデターになっていただろう。そうならなかったからと言って、可能性がなかった
わけではない」
