McCabe offers open advocacy for a deep state

McCabe dished a healthy portion of scorn on Sessions in his book, “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.” He accused him of having “trouble focusing” and having to overcome a “huge learning curve for an attorney general.” He claimed he wasn’t even reading briefing materials on national security threats. McCabe also accused Sessions of being Islamophobic and making racist comments in meetings. He even claimed that the attorney general thought federal agents who were taken hostage overseas “had it coming” and shouldn’t be rescued.

A former senior Justice Department aide to Sessions, who was in high-level meetings with McCabe and the former attorney general, strongly disputed McCabe's allegations, calling them “fiction."

So let's not focus on whether ot not McCabe's version of events are correct and truthful, exaggerated and misleading, or just a downright made up lie. Clearly the interaction between the Attorney General and acting FBI director was far too minimal for McCabe to even have any first hand knowledge of what Sessions was doing the 99.9% of the time he wasn't dealing with McCabe.

The reality is that Andrew McCabe, the acting director of the FBI, somehow felt as though it was his duty to the nation to undermine pretty much everyone in authority. Obviously McCabe never had any issue with the fact that doing so also undermined the very fabric of our Constitutional Republic. In that light, it's important to understand that most every coup ever drawn up was carried out by people who very likely believed that they had good intentions.

McCabes intentions are literally irrelevant.

What this goes to is the very essence of the so called "deep state" and whether or not we, as Americans, want to continue to place our trust in those we elect to run a transparent government, or whether we would prefer (as McCabe clearly advocates) that unelected deep state actors should be calling the shots. Or at least, whether they should be, when and if, they find themselves in political disagreement with those elected to actually be in charge.

McCabe seems to be arguing:

• The elected officials are the bad guys.
• The unelected deep state officials are the good guys. 

Make no mistake, not only is McCabe claiming that the FBI acted as their own deep state adversary to the Administration (including the Department of Justice), but McCabe is clearly making the argument that this was an admirable (if not necessary) thing for them to do. The coldheartedtruth is that he not only admits that there is a deep state competing with elected officials for control, but suggests openly that the deep state should win such competitions.

Now obviously had any of this happened five years ago, there would have been almost no American who would have not had sirens going off at the blatant attempts of our deep state to undermine our electoral government. Liberals would have clutching pearls, because it would have been an affront to our duly elected Democratic President. The media would have been acting as if it was the end of the world for the exact same reason. Most conservatives would have been smart enough to understand that if it happens to a Democrat, it could happen to a Republican.

But with a large share of our population suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, there is actually a growing opinion that a deep state temporing the actions of our elected leaders is actually a good thing. The Federal Government is no longer something for the President and his Administration to lead, following the course that they promised the American public when they were elected. Today, many feel that the Federal Government should suddenly be independent of any Administrative control by the very people elected to do run it.

Amazingly, there are liberals out there who see the Administration providing Federal agencies with goals to look to and directions to follow, as unethical, unprecedented, or even illegal. They seem to forget that it's actually the fundamental constitutional duty of the elected administrative officials to put people in charge of these agencies and provide them with this very direction.

It's not illegal. It's their job.

This is the way our government has worked through 44 different administrations.

McCabe, the media, and liberals obviously believe it no longer should work that way.

If you ask them why?  Can they provide you with any explanation other than "Trump" ?
