NBC News Admits ‘Deep State’ Exists… To Save Us From Trump’s Return<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The last time Donald Trump got within striking distance of the Oval Office in 2016, the Clinton campaign, the Obama administration, and various foreign accomplices invented a hoax accusing the real estate tycoon of being a secret Russian agent, who would use the power of the United States to do Vladimir Putin’s bidding (Which begs the question; why wouldn’t Putin have just invaded Ukraine when his ‘puppet’ Trump wouldn’t have waged a proxy war?).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And when Donald Trump asked Ukraine about obvious corruption by the Biden family, one of the key ‘deep state’ players in his impeachment behind the scenes was none other than Mary McCord<\/a><\/strong> – who went from taking down Michael Flynn after the FBI set him up, to helping Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to peddle a “whistleblower” complaint about Trump’s Ukraine call.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

McCord is back with a new hoax to peddle, <\/strong>telling NBC News<\/em><\/a> that the Deep State is preparing for Trump’s return<\/strong> – and is taking action to limit his ability to ‘become a dictator’ and use the military to those ends.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we\u2019re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to<\/strong>,” McCord – executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law – told the outlet.<\/p>\n

The quotes from this <\/em>fine piece of yellow journalism from NBC<\/em> are simply hilarious… <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Donald Trump is sparking fears among those who understand the inner workings of the Pentagon that he would convert the nonpartisan U.S. military into the muscular arm of his political agenda as he makes comments about dictatorship and devalues the checks and balances that underpin the nation\u2019s two-century-old democracy.”<\/p>\n

“A circle of appointees independent of Trump\u2019s political operation steered him away from ideas that would have pushed the limits of presidential power in his last term.”<\/p>\n

“In a new term, many former officials worry that Trump would instead surround himself with loyalists unwilling to say no.”<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a clear and present danger to our democracy.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

“His support is solid. And I don\u2019t think people understand what living in a dictatorship would mean.”<\/p>\n

“There are an array of horrors that could result from Donald Trump\u2019s unrestricted use of the Insurrection Act.”<\/p>\n

“The military is hundreds of thousands of people strong<\/strong>, and ultimately Trump will find people to follow his legal orders no matter what … <\/strong>The Insurrection Act is a legal order, and if he orders it there will be military officers, especially younger men and women, who will follow that legal order.“<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one might be the best:<\/strong> “We\u2019re about 30 seconds away from the Armageddon clock when it comes to democracy<\/strong>,” said William Cohen, a former Republican senator from Maine and defense secretary in the Clinton administration. “I think that\u2019s how close we\u2019re coming to it when you have a presidential candidate who can be indicted on 91 counts, who can be [found liable for] sexual aggression, who we have seen lies pathologically, who has flouted every rule in the book.”<\/p>\n

Wow!<\/p>\n

Narrative: Trump is going to appoint loyal peons to subvert democracy and declare himself a dictator.<\/p>\n

But wait, the deep state cavalry is here!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Now, bracing for Trump\u2019s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.”<\/p>\n

Part of the aim is to identify like-minded organizations and create a coalition to challenge Trump from day one<\/strong>, those taking part in the discussions said. Some participants are combing through policy papers being crafted <\/strong>for a future conservative administration. They\u2019re also watching the interviews that Trump allies are giving to the press for clues to how a Trump sequel would look.<\/em><\/p>\n

Other participants include Democracy Forward,<\/strong> an organization that took the Trump administration to court more than 100 times during his administration, and Protect Democracy, an anti-authoritarian group.<\/em><\/p>\n

…<\/em><\/p>\n

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is crafting a bill that would clarify the act and give Congress and the courts some say in its use.<\/strong> Its chances of passage are slim given that Republicans control the House and are largely loyal to Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n

You tell us what that sounds like…\u00a0<\/p>\n

deep state<\/span><\/em>
noun<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret\u00a0manipulation\u00a0or control of government policy.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

HOLY SHIT\u2026<\/p>\n

NBC News just admitted the Deep State exists.<\/p>\n

A \u201cnetwork of public interest groups and lawmakers\u201d are \u201cquietly devising plans\u201d to prevent Trump from using the military to carry out retribution.<\/p>\n

They know Trump is going to win, and know what he\u2019s about to do. https:\/\/t.co\/ZqBiQWSVTw<\/a><\/p>\n

“We are preparing for litigation and preparing to use every tool in the toolbox that our democracy provides to provide the American people an ability to fight back,” according to Skye Perryman, president of Democracy Forward. “We believe this is an existential moment for American democracy and it\u2019s incumbent on everybody to do their part.”<\/p>\n

Ah yes, another ‘existential moment.’<\/p>\n

So THIS is the \u201cpeaceful transition of power\u201d you guys brag about.<\/p>\n

Remember, the first rule of ‘Deep State’ is you do not talk about ‘Deep State’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
