SEN. RAND PAUL: Well, this is what worries me. People talk about the Deep State. Now the Deep State is actually protecting their own and not listening to the president’s orders. I was sitting in the White House when President Trump said, “I want his security clearance taken,” and I saw the order given. I saw the chief of staff was there, not the current chief of staff, the previous chief of staff.

And if they’re working against the odds of the president, that really does disrupt our country, does disrupt a representative democracy where the president makes a decision, and if someone is countermanding that, I think we need to get to the bottom of that. And I hope President Trump will say, “who is countermanding my orders. I said get rid of his clearance.” And I do think Brennan has been a partisan. And I think Brennan also abused his office in developing the Trump investigation. I think it was done under false pretenses and done for political reasons.

He's talking about a specific instance in which he was present for an order detrimental to an established intelligence agent, which was clearly intentionally ignored.

Call it what you want, progressives love to dart around language and use it as a shield. But it's an act of clear disregard for the orders of the chief elected executive of the United States by an agency which is expressly accountable to him.

If there's no "deep state" then why was Brennan's clearance not revoked when it was so ordered by the ultimate authority on who gets to have clearance and who does not?

The term was popularized by leftist Glenn Greenwald to describe countries like Egypt and Turkey that had permanent political power outside of any kind of civil control. To suggest there isn't a permanent class of lobbyists, defense contractors and bureaucrats who benefit regardless of which party is in power is to feign reality.

He knows what you mean.

That is just his way of letting you know he supports what happened.

They want their commie friend Brennan meddling in everything, if possible.

Probably because Trump doesn’t possess the competence to know how to properly order it.

Unless you need funding for the border crisis, then he is a do-nothing politician.

These are literally the claims against Dick Cheney back during Was reign

I expect hypocrisy, but this new leftist/DEM strategy to expose their hypocrisy as a sign of (smug) virtue and intelligence is amazing

Would you prefer he say "shadow govt"? There seems to be people within the intelligence community who believe they don't answer to anyone including the sitting President.

I asked a legit question and your response was nothing but melty snark.

So much for an attempt at meaningful dialogue... Go ahead and start working on your cardio for all the sky-screaming and rioting you're going to do after Trump wins re-election.
