The ‘Deep State’ and the Impeachment Conspiracy

Ever since the impeachment bandwagon got rolling in September, anything said in defense of President Trump is automatically dismissed by Democrats and their media allies as either "Republican talking points," "Russian propaganda" or a "Conspiracy theory." The self-evident purpose of this rhetoric is to delegitimize the president's defenders as either dishonest partisans, agents of a foreign enemy, or purveyors of paranoid delusions.

The near-universal loathing of Trump in the N.Y./D.C. media axis has made it difficult to get a fair hearing for the evidence that points to the role of the so-called "Deep State" in creating the circumstances that have led us to this impeachment circus.

Some of us are old enough to remember the 1970s and '80s, when left-leaning media sought to expose the shadowy machinations of the State Department, the CIA, and the FBI. Now that opposition to Trump has become the media's idée fixe every journalist is expected to celebrate former FBI Director James Comey's honesty and patriotism, and none of them seem interested in asking questions about why former CIA Director John Brennan's fingerprints seem to be everywhere on the effort to destroy Trump.

Nearly 63 million Americans voted for Trump, and all these voters were, according to the expert analysts at our intelligence agencies, basically stooges of Putin's "Influence campaign." Such an insulting interpretation, clearly implying that there could be no patriotic reason for any American to vote against Hillary, was the real basis for the FBI's surveillance of the Trump campaign.

Still, the finger of blame is now pointing directly at Brennan, and it is not a conspiracy theory to suspect that the former CIA chief was working hand-in-glove with the Clinton campaign to smear Trump as a Russian agent.

Having failed to prevent Trump's election, the "Deep State" is now supporting the impeachment of Trump.

Because no one seriously believes the Senate will vote to remove Trump from office, what was the point of Nancy Pelosi ramming this impeachment through the House? Isn't this just a distraction intended to divert our attention away from revelations of how the Obama administration spied on Trump's 2016 campaign?
