War declared on 'deep state' political agenda

Published: 11 hours ago


The powerful public interest legal firm American Center for Law and Justice is declaring war on the “deep state,” comprised of entrenched bureaucrats who apparently are using their position and power to try to undermine the president.

“First, the Trump transition team was caught up in surveillance conducted by the Obama administration, wrote ACLJ’s chief counsel, Jay Sekulow. “Second someone in the Obama administration unmasked the names of those on the Trump transition team who were caught up in that surveillance. Third, in its final days, the Obama administration changed the rules in order to widely disseminate this information. Fourth, the deep state bureaucracy leaked this information to the media,”

This  premise is ridiculous.  Every president places bureaucrats in every political institution that cannot be fired when their presidency ends.   Madeline Albright and Robert Reich to name two were buried in the State Department by Jimmy Carter. There they remained until Bill Clinton became president and raised them up to be in his administration.
These employees are classified in such a way that they can remain working in the government.

IIRC, Linda Tripp was the only employee that was not protected by Bill Clinton.........for obvious reasons.

I don't think that's true.  If it is, then why are the bureaucracies so uniformly leftist?  Do you really believe Reagan and both Bushes did this?  You'll have to provide some evidence for that.  But even if so, radically reducing the bureaucracy is a good thing; it doesn't matter so much which way it leans as that in large part it shouldn't exist at all.

Everybody talks about term limits for politicians but the real need for term limits is in hired government jobs from congressional staffers all the way down to an IRS office receptionist.

For people like Madeline Albright there is indeed life after government. Many former govt officials go into extragovernmental think tanks like the international crisis group. (Just look at their current board of Trustees) https://www.crisisgroup.org/who-we-are/board Madeline Albright used to be a member as did Kofi and Kojo Annan among others.
