Is the Deep State Attempting a Coup?
Powerline ^ | 06 December 2017 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 12/07/2017 8:02:13 AM PST by Lorianne

Administrative employees are nominally subject to the control of those appointed by politicians who have won elections, but Democrats embedded in the federal bureaucracy have proclaimed themselves part of the “resistance” to President Trump, and are using their positions to undermine his administration. Bureaucrats thus frustrate the will of the voters. President Trump has been in office for nearly a year, and has yet to take control over the federal bureaucracy that nominally reports to him.

I agree with Professor Barnett that this is a constitutional crisis. The most powerful branch of today’s government is the Fourth: the permanent federal bureaucracy that is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution. The Trump administration can best be viewed, perhaps, as a struggle to the death between American voters and the federal employees who are paid to serve them.

Former Navy SEAL Craig ‘Sawman’ Sawyer warns of ‘gruesome massacre’ if Trump removed from office

By Joe Newby - August 5, 2017 Excerpted:

“I’m hearing serious rumblings of a hostile, illegal coup against our democratically elected President by seditious, deep-state subversives funded by Soros & other globalists. Very disturbing,” he wrote, adding:

Patriots, this would be nothing less than an act of war against the American people. It would be the removal of our boldest defender & last possibility of maintaining our protective Constitution. Under the boot of globalists, life as we know it, would immediately decline to the model that suits the globalist interest – Marxist/Socialist/Communist. They get complete control, you get zero. Freedom, Gone! Liberty, Gone! This agenda is evil and simply cannot be allowed, at ANY cost.

Like ALL military, law enforcement and government officials, I took an oath to defend our Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. By abandoning the rule of law and conducting a coup against the President & policies WE THE PEOPLE elected, they have made themselves enemies of the United States.

After observing that all patriots, regardless of position, have a duty to protect the Constitution, Sawyer minced no words detailing what he believes would happen to those involved in Trump’s removal and he explained why:

Anti-American subversives involved in ANY WAY in an unconstitutional coup against our President will be run down and executed immediately by the world’s most supreme warriors. There will be nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide, no mercy, no sense of humor. Harsh examples will be made.

My prediction is it will be a gruesome massacre.

Why?

Because one side in this conflict has 8 Trillion bullets & the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.

Their treason, corruption, and 24/7 political crap against the country and the American people is oozing out of the DC sewer and they continue their games like we’re too stupid to figure out their crimes?

Yes. Sean Hannity talked about this at some length last night, identifying some who are involved, and suggesting their planned strategy.

Would the Secret Service come visit you if you suggested Barry Soetoro should turn up missing?

I guess we could say that Hillary still runs the FBI

The Bushes still run the CIA

And Obama still runs the NSA.

So yes, there's a Deep State against Trump.

I think it is pretty obvious that there is an ongoing coup attempt here. Its not like they are really trying to hide it.

“’It’s amazing that Hillary still runs the FBI”

I’m not amazed. I’m amazed that we allow it.

She learned it while on the prosecuting team investigating Nixon for doing the same.

Trump and we the people v the Clintons

This works both ways.

The fools haven’t figured into their pique what happens when the mass of average, middle of the road deplorables decide not to cooperate and follow the rules.

I have said it before. All you need is one person to lead.

Considering that he still gets Secret Service protection, the answer would be... Yes. You would have to get through them in a case anybody wanted to “disappear” Soetero.

I would suggest to your friend that it is a very, very, very bad idea to cross them.

This is what Mueller’s investigation is for. Something to impeach Trump with. A soft coup that the GOP leadership can acquiesce to.

“Trump’s presidency is the trophy the Coup leaders are working for. If Trump is forced out then the USA is OVER as we know it; Next comes civil war.”

Question: Who will be the first person you will shoot in this civil war? Under whose orders will you shoot?

Aye! Many of us are with Trump until the end. Remove him and words have never been written that would describe the outcome.

If it ever came to a “real” Civil War 2, it would be over quick as it would only take a few high profile casualties for the traitorous bastardz attempting treason to quickly “get it”.
It would NOT be citizens fighting one another house to house.
