Deep State

If Donald Trump wins the presidency this year, he’s suggesting he will fire the ‘deep state.’

A new rule adopted by the Office of Personnel Management boosts protections for government employees, making it harder to fire them.

It’s a narrative that, at its core, is part of an ongoing effort by the agency establishment to designate Trump as a national security threat.

I catch up with Miklós Szánthó at CPAC in Washington. He is the chairman of CPAC Hungary and The Center for Fundamental Rights.

Michael Waller works at the Center for Security Policy, and is the author of “Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains.”
