There is something unique you have to agree that now the impeachment inquiry is underway, sparked by a complaint from someone within the intelligence community, it feeds the presidents concern, an often used term about a deep state being there to take him out, Margaret Brennan, the moderator for the event, asked McLaughlin.
Thank God for the deep state,' replied the former spook, who served as acting director at the CIA in 2004.
McLaughlin appeared at the event, hosted by the Hayden Center, alongside former CIA Director John Brennan, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. They discussed the role of the intelligence community ahead of the 2020 election.

I am not sure how he got to be deputy CIA director in the GW Bush regimeClinton had previously appointed him as Acting Deputy Director in June 2000, under Tenet, and he was confirmed as Deputy Director in October 2000; when Tenet stepped down as Director in 2004, he filled in for him until Porter Goss was appointed, then he returned to Deputy Director.

Daddy Bush was CIA Director.
The Deep State has to be broken.
CIA should be disbanded and the State Department stripped to the walls.

Will we allow the deep state actors, who have corrupted a vast portion of our government, get away with ending our Republic??
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We already did.
On Usurpation Day January 20, 2009 an ineligible non-natural born citizen was sworn in as President in direct violation of the Constitution.
Both parties cooperated in abrogating the Constitution.

Excuse me Deep State vermin, we didnt elect you. We elected Trump.
DC really needs to be shut down. It is unaccountable and acting lawlessly.

I couldn’t find anything about who appointed him. Might have been Bill Clinton.

These insolent sons of bitches have forgotten that they are our hired help. I think the entire intelligence establishment needs dismantling and rebuilding with a lot more fail-safe Constitutional protections.

Deep State has a lot more surprises to spring to help the dems remove President Trump. Next move is to start peeling off GOP senators by threat of exposing their past misdeeds.

Its shocking to watch these folks openly talking about removing a president who to the present hasnt been revealed to have done anything wrong. When they are at a loss trying to find high crimes or misdemeanors they make stuff up!
