Former CIA Acting Director Praises ‘Deep State’ For Role In Trump Impeachment Push
Daily Caller ^ | 10/31/2019 | Chuck Ross

“There is something unique you have to agree that now the impeachment inquiry is underway, sparked by a complaint from someone within the intelligence community, it feeds the president’s concern, an often used term about a ‘deep state’ being there to take him out,” Margaret Brennan, the moderator for the event, asked McLaughlin.

“Thank God for the ‘deep state,'” replied the former spook, who served as acting director at the CIA in 2004.

McLaughlin appeared at the event, hosted by the Hayden Center, alongside former CIA Director John Brennan, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. They discussed the role of the intelligence community ahead of the 2020 election.

I am not sure how he got to be deputy CIA director in the GW Bush regime, but it's strange how many evil people come from that administration. Including Obama, in a way.

They have a bass-ackwards way of looking at things. The tail has been wagging the dog for way too long. We the People are going to have to take our country back or we will be relegated to being peasants in the commune.

“Thank God for the ‘deep state,’

Loyalty to government is NOT patriotism, Mr. McLaughlin.

Someday, people may remember he was one of the ones who thinks the intel community stands superior to the President.
Lots of people may be “remembered”...

Conspiring to overthrow the US Government, isn’t that treason?

Round them all up and start building the gallows!

Trump has gotten Democrats to love war and side with the CIA.

The man is a magician.

Another crap Bush appointee. 2004 with the Second Iraq War; he should still be searching for the non-existant Weapons of Mass Destruction that his agency assured us were there.

“”””” he should still be searching for the non-existant Weapons of Mass Destruction that his agency assured us were there.””””””””””””

The WMD were probably there, at one time but when you give someone a notice that you will do a search in a few months it gives them plenty of time to make things disappear.

So now, “deep state” means those who want Trump out, therefore the good guys (for D’rats, proggies and sheeple).

Turning a phrase upside-down for their benefit, again. Controlling the meanings of words. Controlling the language.

Do we push what Deep State really means, or use a new term?

What always strikes me most about these CIA people is the way they carry on with their ultimately self destructive and chaotic behavior, while showing every sign that they have no rational understanding of their own motives or thinking.

The reason why all of these scumbags are all talking sh## they are embolden. We need to topple the house of cards start with the indictments and those who are found to have committed treason need to be hung for all to see
