Re: “Large, bureaucratic organizations like the FBI, CIA or DOJ have an inertia all their own...”
The Deep State has nothing to do with inertia.
It has everything to do with Hard Left political corruption.
Is there even one agency or department in the Federal government that has Conservative inertia?
Of course not.
I am thinking you don't understand organizational inertia and, as a result, organizational entropy. The deep state is an amalgam of organizational behavior.
