I might be reading Ron's posts wrong, so apologies if so. It sounds like he's saying this is a SPECTRE level intricate conspiracy.
I never saw that. To me, it was more of, if you're going to label it something, "Saul Alinsky-ism". A lot of people hired who believe in the Saul Alinsky method of "means justify ends" regardless of any oath of office they took. As I said, R administrations generally cut government, so you don't see any "Ayn Rand" cabals. The dems grow gov, so you're bound to get lots of Alinsky-sympathetic people hired. It's not really coordinated so much as statistical, and that's what leads to a couple of FBI employees who are doing each other and sending text messages back and forth about how to do in the guy they don't like, regardless of the ethics code and constitution they swore to uphold.
If I use "deep state" around here, this is what I mean by it. Not SPECTRE or the Illuminati.
