The fact that the same names keep reappearing suggests that the Deep State is not very deep. I suspect that it consists of 500-1000 individuals. It is the exact opposite of a grassroots organization. This means that Trump will have a chance to dismantle it, but he will have to surround himself with patriots rather than the weak sociopath he chose like Christie, Barr etc. to staff his first administration.
When Obama left office he publicly stated that he had a 50,000 strong “shadow government” in place, meaning that he was still in charge.
From this I suppose Obama has his people implanted in every government agency.
