The Deep State is a non-partisan entity. Players who wear both red and blue masks as an aid in achieving public office in specific areas have reasons to keep the Big Corruption secret...and to violently attack anyone who threatens to reveal it.
Since the Revealer-In-Chief wears a red mask, other red-mask players have to moderate their speech about him in public, to an extent, to avoid excessively upsetting their political constituencies. But they want him gone just as desperately as their blue-masked compatriots do and will not willingly engage in any activity that might aid him.
Exactly. Deep state controls both dems and repubs. Graham is all for deep state and against Trump. He must not appear to dislike Trump too much, for re election in SC. Deep state controls both parties at the local level so they can promote their obedient candidates.
