The term “deep state” has been so over-used in the past few years that it may seem meaningless. It has become standard practice to label one’s political adversaries as representing the “deep state” as a way of avoiding the defense of one’s positions. President Trump has often blamed the “deep state” for his political troubles. Trump supporters have created big conspiracies involving the “deep state” to explain why the president places neocons in key positions or fails to fulfill his campaign promises.
But the “deep state” is no vast and secret conspiracy theory. The deep state is real, it operates out in the open, and it is far from monolithic. The deep state is simply the permanent, unelected government that continues to expand its power regardless of how Americans vote.
There are factions of the deep state that are pleased with President Trump’s policies, and in fact we might say that President Trump represents some factions of the deep state.
Other factions of the deep state are determined to undermine any of President Trump’s actions they perceive as threatening. Any move toward peace with Russia is surely something they feel to be threatening. There are hundreds of billions of reasons — otherwise known as dollars — why the Beltway military-industrial complex is terrified of peace breaking out with Russia and will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening.
That is why Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s indictment on Friday of 12 Russian military intelligence officers for allegedly interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election should immediately raise some very serious questions.

It is interesting that one of the Russian companies indicted by Mueller earlier this year surprised the world by actually entering a “not guilty” plea and demanding to see Mueller’s evidence. The Special Counsel proceeded to file several motions to delay the hand-over of his evidence. What does Mueller have to hide?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I recommend reading the whole article...
Really Ron? Can you give us some examples because NONE come to my mind...
Did Mueller prove anything about anyone yet ?
“Did Mueller prove anything about anyone yet?”
He proved you can indict twelve ham sandwiches with some Russian dressing.
1) An anti-Trump political stunt(worked)
2) Warn those Russians (if they exist) so they can avoid going to court where Muellers team would have to produce evidence
3) The media treats all these indictments as convictions and all accusations as facts.
Notice other indictments are sealed until the arrests are made.
Lisa Page is also pursuing and immunity deal.
Truthful testimony for no charges of any kind.
“The term “deep state” has been so over-used in the past few years that it may seem meaningless.”
Two years ago no one knew what the deep state was. Now everyone does and it’s a household word, thanks to DJT.
The anti-Trumpers hardly ever use the word “collusion” any more. They don’t have to say it. It has been imprinted in the minds of the gullible, so that when they hear “Russian meddling” they also hear “Russian collusion.”
Rosensweasel hijacked the Summit agenda with Putin with his little show Friday. It was subversive and purposeful. Yet not one word of criticism for the obvious manipulation. If Sessions had a monicum of decency he would have fired him immediately. He set up the man who made him AG, the level of disloyalty is breathtaking.
It is good to see Ron Paul supporting Trump.
Putin mentioned the same thing: one of the Russian companies accused hired American lawyers and is ready to confront Mueller in court. That was probably very unexpected, and might explain why these new indictments are all against individuals rather than companies; Mueller figures individuals won’t have the same resources.
The DNC's computers, hacked into TWICE, were never examined by the Govt....and yet they take a private company's word for it that Russian's hacked it.
They keep telling us that Russian's hacked something but it didn't change votes....or the outcome of the election........while they keep ramping up the hysteria.... like the Russians assassinated candidates, or something.
They charge Americans for crimes, that have NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA, and expect us to believe that proves Russia collusion?
Even worse, these unelected bozos, arrogantly tell the duly elected Congress, who has oversight over them, to suck eggs?
So no, I don't trust them about this business. It's time to bring the evidence to a court of law and PROVE IT.
Is that a person with one eye in the middle of his forehead?
Sorry, I should have spell checked before I posted.
Russia will no more hand over its cyber folks to us than we would ours to them.
No evidence can be presented due to national security, methods and means.
Mueller knows this.
Sessions is a disgrace for allowing this to continue. He’s either being blackmailed or is an abject coward.
These same cretins have been called many things. They are basically the same transnational socialists that have been undermining America's interests since before WWI. "Deep State" is just a new name used by the establish media to camouflage what they really are.
He's a part of it, and always has been.
I’m afraid you are right. I always respected his work against the third world invasion & his push-back against amnesty.
The deep state must have found something awful in his past, or he was always controlled opposition.
