I've posted this before, but here's my take. Remember that Bush headed the CIA and was forced on Reagan as VP. Reagan was clean, but Bush the elder was there. After Reagan, we had Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-Obama-Obama. If you believe, as I do, the the Bushes, CIA and Clintons were all part of the Mena, Arkansas drug running, just about the entire executive branch was compromised over a 28 year period. Early on, Clinton fired 93 DOJ lawyers. They remade the government in their image.
There were plans within plans. Schumer warned Trump, "They have six ways from Sunday to get you."
This is an attempt to take down the global cartel. Trump couldn't come in and fire everybody, so embedded agents (sleepers) sat, quietly doing their job, waiting until they were needed to throw a wrench in the works. A lot of them have been caught and neutralized, but there are legions of them. They don't hold up their hands and say, "I'm deep state." As they're discovered, they're cleansed. Sometimes, this puts plans back.

Yet, Reagan was a supporter of a single governing philosophy for the world. He knew it would come long after he was gone but he also knew that he can do his part in moving that agenda [21] forward.
He killed the bear.
ThanQ for that clear description of the monumental task that draining the Swamp entails.
Perhaps ransom can include it in her Q thread description notes.
