This trap was set well before Trump won - Washington Times:

"Through a combination of representative democracy and a balancing of state power against federal power, we the people pick our president.
Unless, of course, the president we the people pick turns out to be a grave and odious threat to the powerful established bureaucracy in Washington that — like cancer itself — is entirely dedicated to its own preservation and spread.
And damn the innocent host! The more devastating the cancer is to the very body politic that gives it life, the better!
It is the truest form of injustice. Singular evil. Blind hatred.
So they changed the rules. We can pick our president. But then the powerful established bureaucracy must conduct a massive, sprawling, limitless investigation into any and all aspects of the president we pick."
