A Civil War For Control Of The US Government Has Erupted Between "The Deep State" And Donald Trump
Zero Hedge ^ | Feb 16, 2017 | Tyler Durden

The ruthless political assassination of Michael Flynn was just one battle of a major civil war that has erupted for control of the U.S. government. Donald Trump and his new administration are now under relentless assault by “the deep state”, and at this point it is not clear who will emerge as the victor. There are many that use the term “deep state” as a synonym for the intelligence community, but the truth is that it is much broader than that. In reality, the deep state encompasses thousands upon thousands of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats that never seem to change no matter which party wins an election. Certainly the intelligence community is at the heart of this system, but there are countless others that are embedded within key government agencies and the Pentagon that deeply resent Donald Trump and the kind of change that he is attempting to bring to Washington.

There is a vast and exceedingly complex tapestry of laws, rules and regulations that govern the behavior of government officials. In past administrations, those laws, rules and regulations have been very selectively enforced, but now the “deep state” intends to use them as weapons against the Trump administration.

In essence, Donald Trump and his team are walking through a minefield, and his enemies are watching like a hawk for even the smallest slip up.

Theoretically, everyone working for the federal government is now working for Donald Trump. But in reality that is not the case. I wrote about the sabotage that is being done by Obama loyalists a few days ago, and it isn’t going to stop until Donald Trump does a complete housecleaning.....

...Can you see why I am describing this conflict as a “civil war”? To me, this is definitely treason…

Well put and right on. Thank you. It seems that some here are in denial. Denial can be fatal.

It might 'be' the world we live in - - but that's not an excuse for giving in to the thugs. Downsize every department in Washington by 70%. Then deal with the chaos -- add temp workers in year or two. Freeze all full time hiring. By the time eight years is up the swamp will be drained.

The problem is only those Trump appointed who were NOT politicians are the only ones he can trust. I don’t know how low in rank you’d have to go to find a loyal soldier. I wouldn’t trust anyone about a colonel. So, it would be difficult to use the military to take out the shadow government.

Paging Oliver Stone! And we said he was nuts. Not his “shadow government” idea is mainstream.

Seems to me that if an EXTREME example could be made of some of these traitors,that it would provide a valuable lesson for the others.
