re: The deep state was behind this

The term "Deep State" was popularized by the left-wing website The Intercept after the Edward Snowden leaks. It has been written about extensively by Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, all of whom could be categorized as far left. The belief that there is an unelected group of intelligence spooks, military officials, defense contractors and Wall Street financiers who actually control the policies of this country is not conspiratorial. It is a widely held belief by many on both sides of the political aisle.

The existence of the Deep State is one of those rare areas where the far right/left agree. No MSM outlet even entertains the thought of their existence, which should tell you all you need to know right there.
