The Deep State is not a person or persons. It is more of a collective ideology held by a class of persons;

Yes, but SOMEONE ordered the raid on Trump's house. I know Federal Bureaucrats, and low level FBI agents wouldn't piss if their pants were on fire, unless they were specifically told to do so.

I understand the collective class and ideology argument, but even at the highest levels, these people's interests do not always overlap. Where the rubber meets the road, there are only a few people at the top of the pile. Who are they?

Probably some people who are just below Wray at the FBI, and acted with Wray's full knowledge and acquiescence. It was the same career people at DOJ who got the warrant, also with Garland's knowledge and tacit approval. The current power of the Deep State is as a collective entity, they are adept at hiding any individual personal accountability behind a Byzantine labyrinth of bureaucratic offices and procedures.

Time for a Convention of States to specifically repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service.

I have a friend who is friends with and FBI field agent, says he is a great guy. I told my friend, you better say nothing political around him ever about anything. My friend said this agent would disobey an illegal order. I said don’t bet your life and freedom on it, keep your mouth shut when you are around him, the FBI is not anyone’s friend. I couldn’t have imagined uttering those words 35 years ago.
