If that were true, why have the deep state been trying so hard to impeach him and put him behind bars?

Your post fails the "common sense" test, sorry.

There is no Deep State, not really.

Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Ron Johnson (Wisc.) sent letters to the Justice Department demanding answers after a former FBI agent said he was forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement that did not include the legally required whistleblower exceptions allowing him to come forward to Congress.
Whistleblower protections have been enshrined in federal law for more than a decade, and federal agencies may not use taxpayer dollars for nondisclosure agreements without including whistleblower exceptions. However, former Special Agent Steve Friend, who came forward in the fall with claims that the FBI used excessive tactics and did not follow its own rules in probing the Jan. 6 riot, provided the GOP senators with the nondisclosure agreement he was forced to sign that did not include the required anti-gag provision.
"These accountability measures are critically important because they ensure whistleblowers know they have the right to disclose government fraud, waste, and abuse to Congress and Inspectors General," Grassley and Johnson wrote in a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. "Federal agencies cannot conceal their wrongdoing behind illegal nondisclosure agreements and related documents."

"The FBI is not above the law, and Congress needs to hold it accountable," Tristan Leavitt, president of the nonprofit watchdog Empower Oversight, said after the senators sent their letters to Justice Department officials. "Congress cannot allow agencies to thumb its nose at its power of the purse. Those who blow the whistle deserve to be protected, not punished and silenced."

Commentary:



There is a legal term for acting in ways that tip your hand that you committed or are committing a crime. This action, by lawyers in the DoJ and Stasi/FBI, is one of those actions. Racketeering, Influencing Corrupt Organizations.
Nonetheless, Garland, Wray and their handlers will continue their respective positions and ruthlessly violate te law.

The corruption and collusion with the Democratic Party is obvious but nothing will happen as long as Democratic puppet Merrick Garland sits at the top of the DOJ. It's as simple as that.
