Erdogan moves to cleanse the army, and, according to reports, already gave a few thousand judges the boot. The vaccancies will most certainly be filled with puppets. Thousands have been arrested. I don't think, direct involvement is a requirement to be arrested today.
If it wasn't as cynical, I really wouldn't rule out AKP involvement in last nights events. Seems as if Erdogan finally reached the end of his personal rainbow.
The fact that 2,745 judges were removed so soon indicates to me that a list had been drawn up prior to the coup. I don't subscribe to the tinfoiler "false-flag" thing, but clearly Erdogan's government had at the very least detailed contingency plans drawn up beforehand, and quickly seized the opportunity at hand.
