Former CIA Acting Director Praises ‘Deep State’ For Role In Trump Impeachment Push
Daily Caller ^ | 10/31/2019 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 10/31/2019 2:56:19 PM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

“There is something unique you have to agree that now the impeachment inquiry is underway, sparked by a complaint from someone within the intelligence community, it feeds the president’s concern, an often used term about a ‘deep state’ being there to take him out,” Margaret Brennan, the moderator for the event, asked McLaughlin.

“Thank God for the ‘deep state,'” replied the former spook, who served as acting director at the CIA in 2004.

McLaughlin appeared at the event, hosted by the Hayden Center, alongside former CIA Director John Brennan, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. They discussed the role of the intelligence community ahead of the 2020 election.

I am not sure how he got to be deputy CIA director in the GW Bush regime

Because Bush I = Clinton I = Bush II = Clinton II = Obama. All the same globalist, deep state one-world communists. Obama added Islamo-supremacist but other than that, they are all the same. And the governments under then, the deep-state, were all the same. Only now is there someone actually different in power and by God the deep state Bush/Clinton/Obama cabal hate it.

Indeed. As was his daddy. Regan’s sticking with the “tradition” of picking your number one primary opponent to be your VP was the single biggest mistake of his presidency. HW gave us The Zipper.

“We the People are going to have to take our country back or we will be relegated to being peasants in the commune”.

You’re exactly right.

If they get away with this, there will be a next time, and next time they’ll go full Stalin on our asses.

Huh? Even GW Bush has been trashing President Trump. Why? Because President Trump is the better Republican President, I would say. That also includes his Pappy GHW Bush. Both of whom were selling out this country’s sovereignty. Jealous that history will be more favorable to President trump then it will be to either Bushie, not to mention it upset their plans for the destruction of their plans to destroy America.

It’s shocking to watch these folks openly talking about removing a president who to the present hasn’t been revealed to have done anything wrong.

We’re talking prison term offenses here for these folks.

Problem is, they’ve already done it. What we’re trying to do is get some semblance of control over the federal behemoth and they don’t like it.

By law, the CIA is specifically prohibited from collecting foreign intelligence concerning the domestic activities of US citizens. Its mission is to collect information related to foreign intelligence and foreign counterintelligence. By direction of the president in Executive Order 12333 of 1981 and in accordance with procedures approved by the Attorney General, the CIA is restricted in the collection of intelligence information directed against US citizens. Collection is allowed only for an authorized intelligence purpose; for example, if there is a reason to believe that an individual is involved in espionage or international terrorist activities. The CIA's procedures require senior approval for any such collection that is allowed, and, depending on the collection technique employed, the sanction of the Director of National Intelligence and Attorney General may be required. These restrictions on the CIA have been in effect since the 1970s.

it’s easy to see the sedition from the spooks attending the event.

imo, this whole deal to get trump from spygate, russia russia russia thru ukraine & WB is a Clown Op.

they run their own “company” by their rules with their budget.

trump is clipping their wings.

that’s why they hate him.

This guy McLaughlin was only acting director until Bush appointed Porter Goss. He was #2, a CIA lifer, who moved up when the guy above him resigned after 911. Sure, Bush was terrible, but McLaughlin wasn’t really one of his mistakes.

Question:......

Will we allow the ‘deep state’ actors, who have corrupted a vast portion of our government, get away with ending our Republic??

Will we fight to keep it? Are we who call ourselves ‘PATRIOTS’ still willing to take up arms, to fight and to die for this dream we call America?

Are there still those who know what is at stake here....now?

They need Gadaffi style tours of the neighborhood. That’s what the deep state really needs. They keep this crap up and they might just get them.

"Enemies of the people And yet they walk freely amongst us."

And unlike the John Carpenter film, "They Live", you don't even need special glasses to pick them out of the crowd.
