Is It a Cop or Not?

There was not a use of the dejure, formalized process for shifting out the general secretary. The plotters wanted to remove krise from power, but also not give the central committee enough space to ask too many questions or resist this move against krustev. So there was a lot of manoeuvre here that was going on. One way of describing it is that it's essentially, it's a knife fight, but it's a knives fight with weird rules as well.
