Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the term “deep State” refers to President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Kash Patel to head the FBI because his objective is reforming the institution.

Guest host Kasie Hunt said, “Do you think there are any issues inside the FBI around politicization, as many who voted for Donald Trump seem to say?”

Raskin said, “Well, undoubtedly, if you look at it historically, for example, during the COINTELPRO period the FBI really was weaponized against Doctor King and the Civil Rights Movement and the Peace Movement. There was, you know decades of the FBI being basically used as a political instrument. There’s an interesting book about that, about J. Edgar Hoover by Beverly Gage and people can look at. ”

Project much? 🙄

Men have Bonds. I don’t see the same characteristic in women though I’m sure it exists...but not at the same strength. Maybe that’s what makes them such good warriors.

The Deep State won’t go away quietly.

Pretend to the end

[PeterPrinciple]

They still think it is about Trump.

My take is Trump is about the mission. MAGA.

Raskin is a blithering waste of oxygen

Wow. You mean in the same way someone tells his boss he won’t do it gets fired.

Can the Patriots and the Right clearly define what the "Deep State" is and keep repeating it?

The "Deep State" AKA "The Swamp" is nothing less than the

unconstitutional and, thus illegal, $3+ trillion, 80%+ portion of the federal gov't

which has become totalitarian, threatens America's Free Constitutional Republic and our lives, liberties, and free pursuits.

Rascal is a DS minion.

And Far-Right means everyone who doesn't do the will of the Deep State.

Thanks to the deep state I agree with Raskin. I trust Trump enough do what ever is necessary to flush the turds out of the sewer system so things can run clean.

“Jamie Raskin’s father, Marcus Raskin, was very close to the old Soviet Union, and I would argue he was a communist. Mister Raskin has been invited on here multiple times, and he's free to debate it, but his father was hard, hard left.”

Interesting that certain US politicians are having to explain away the term “deep state”. Because we had new groups of voters listening to conservatives and the podcasts, some of them might have been exposed to “deep state” for the first time.

The clown Raskin has devolved into a parody of himself. That mental midget is one cringey piece of work.

[Rockingham]

In sum, Jamie Raskin is a weasel-faced Commie.

Trump needs to move quickly on this to get the first test cases in front of the Supremes.

He needs rulings giving the President his proper authority as the boss of the Executive Branch; with power to dissolve departments and terminate employees.

No, they’re called enemies

Nailed it Jamie. Embrace the suck.

“Raskin: Deep State ‘Means Anybody Who Doesn’t Do the Will of Donald Trump’”

well said, raskin ... President Trump is the Constitutional boss of the entire Executive Branch of the U.S. Federal government ... pretty much anyone who doesn’t obey the orders of the boss is insubordinate and needs to be terminated from Federal employment!
