With each successive batch of text messages released between then-FBI agent Peter Strzok and then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page, the evidence supporting a politically motivated Deep State within the federal government spills out into the open.
Based on my own experience, this particular set of text messages is the tip of the iceberg. While serving on the House Oversight Committee, I saw firsthand how those in control of our bureaucracy brazenly abuse their power – spying, manipulating and misleading – in an effort to perpetuate their stranglehold on the government.
What I witnessed and wrote about in my new book –“The Deep State: How an Army of Bureaucrats Protected Barack Obama and is Working to Destroy the Trump Agenda” – was a bureaucracy that allowed agencies to become weaponized in the service of political battles.
In the beginning, that meant protecting President Obama by using federal power to target political opponents or by covering the tracks of the corrupt or incompetent within his administration. By the time I left Congress, the Deep State’s focus had shifted to thwarting the administration of the newly elected President Donald Trump.

Pussy should have stayed in there, called it out and fought.
Deep state got him and broke his foot.
Never liked the guy, always thought he comes across as a big phony. I have a screen shot of him going out of his way to reach out to shake Shrillary's hand @ President Trump's inauguration
>>>Raised Jewish, Chaffetz converted to Mormonism during his college years.[26]<<<
Seems like Mormons want to appeal to both sides if the aisle which is impossible these days.
Oh no, I’ve seen it too in SEVERAL agencies.
Imran Awan was brought up to Sessions for prosecution by Chaffetz and Session said NO because it’s too close to Hillary. Deep State lives on.
The Deep State is real and anyone who denies it is not paying attention.
I heard Chaffetz on Hannity claim the Deep State was “mostly Democrats.” He is of course FOS and looking to sell his book without offending his GOPe buddies.
The guy is a chameleon.
Yeah, something is off with this guy. It wouldn’t surprise me if he did the foam party circuit with Little Marco in his younger days.
What did they have on him that he didn’t stay & fight? Guess we’ll never know.
Should have been:
The Deep State - How Both Parties Violated the Constitution
The true story of the Kenyan from Indonesia usurping the office of President.

While I have not held Chaffetz in high regard..., he is spot on with that comment! Dims tend to loiter in government jobs rather than seek private or self-employment! In addition, most are deluded in their view that they "Know Better" and should save the common folk from their irrational self-interests "For the common Good"!!

Well said, and true.
