Good discussion of the rationalization of a fascist play. Only one criticism:

But this investigation will become part of the pattern and practice of this administration filled with aspiring fascists.

They're not aspiring. They've sent in the military to take over a city from civilian control under a completely fabricated pretext with an underlying entirely political true purpose. That's not aspiring fascism, that is fascism.
