Rightwing fantasy designed to create distrust of the federal workforce and provide justification for punitive actions, furloughs, sequesters and RIFsHow do you define 'Deep State'?So now "Deep State" is all the rage. The new boogeyman.
A big, dark conspiracy lurking in the shadows of our government.
There are people who seem to think life is a freakin' Tom Clancy novel.

To me it is simply that vast body of professional bureaucrats that make up the long term Federal employment that is close enough to the top of the organization that they feel that they can work around any Presidential policies or Congressionally passed laws to achieve their own goals.
That is very real and it has been reported on from time to time for decades now.
Now their left hand doesnt know what their right hand is doing, true, but it doesnt have to. All that has to happen is that the enforcement desk jockeys ignore what they think should not be criminal and bust people for things that they think should be criminal no matter what the letter of the law actually says. And then their managers cover for them.
This is how people like Bill Ellen get busted for violations of the Wetlands Act, which was a legislative attempt to save water fowl migration sites, and all he was doing was building DUCK PONDS! Eco-Villains? No — Just Pawns in the Federal Land-grab Scam
And this man in Wyoming was busted for building a cattle tank which has nothing to do with migrating water fowl! Wyoming welder faces $75,000 a day in EPA fines for building pond on his property
And the EPA bureaucracy is trying to morph the Wetlands Act into authority over every stream in the nation. EPA Goes After Low-Income Farmers In Land Grab
Drowning our property rights: EPA's misuse of the Clean Water Act
The government bureaucrats are a power, a fourth branch unto themselves and we the People need to reign them in and put them under the heel of the Will of the People.
