VIDEO: ‘Thank God for the deep state’: Former CIA chief says anti-Trump forces ‘responding to a higher call’
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM:
Former CIA acting Director John McLaughlin expressed his gratitude for the “deep state” and their effort to get President Trump impeached.
McLaughlin, who was the acting director in 2004, embraced the idea of a “deep state” with the intent of ending the Trump presidency at an event on Wednesday hosted by the Hayden Center.
The article goes on to state the following:
“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 hosted, asked McLaughlin.
McLaughlin replied, “Thank God for the ‘deep state.'”
This is what tyranny looks like — administrative state officials eviscerating the Constitution under the guise of virtue and faithful service to it in a bid to protect their power and privilege https://t.co/uLVRg9UAb3 https://t.co/lLHEgZvZjj

Fred Fleitz, former NSC Chief of Staff, CIA analyst and House Intel Com staff member, pounded McLaughlin, tweeting, “@jmclaughlinSAIS, you’re a brilliant guy and I enjoyed working for you at @CIA. But I don’t think you realize how much damage you did to the IC and its workforce by saying “thank God for the deep state.”
He added in a second tweet, “Your comment confirmed the fears by many Americans that the IC is actively working against @realDonaldTrump. You know this isn’t the case and that most IC officers are nonpolitical. There also are many Trump supporters within the CIA and other IC agencies.”

./3 And where were you when the Obama and Clinton admins were politicizing intelligence? Did you speak out in August 2016 when Sen Harry Reid said IC officers should give candidate Trump “fake intelligence briefings?” See above. https://t.co/Pi0qaNCtsW
