Or the last question when Ted Lieu asked whether his colleagues across the federal government -- including the FBI and Justice Department -- were "honoring their oaths to the United States Constitution," Pompeo responded, "Yeah, in general, yes sir."
Why didn’t you quote these parts?
This proves there is no “deep state” which would necessarily be a systemic thing. A few bad employees not following their oath of office are “exceptions” - not the rule - and don’t represent the culture.
Of course Trump never admits it when any of his conspiracy theories are disproven. Remember these: (1) Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the Kennedy assassination, (2) Obama was not born in the US, (3) he saw thousands of Muslims celebrating 9/11 on the rooftops of New Jersey, (4) deep state wiretapping of Trump evolves into more benign improper masking before even that gets debunked, (5) deep state spygate, now debunked, though for now Nunes is saving face by saying that he didn’t get the information he was looking for (even though that is because it never existed). Have you not noticed the pattern yet? None of these allegations ever have basis in fact. He just throws crazy ideas out like chum in the water.
Did you watch the Christopher Wray video? Another Trump appointee entirely debunking the deep state witch hunt narrative that Trump is trying to spin.
