When you have an unelected bureaucracy that has administrative power over law enforcement and National Security it got termed a "Deep State" because of how deeply entrenched it is and because of how powerful that can be. And we have that problem in the United States. People like Jesus Angleton was running around blackmailing members of Congress when he was part of the CIA. So it broadened their budgets and expanded their power. So we're back to that all over again with we have aspects of the intelligence community that thinks they should run American foreign policy and the American people should not be bothered with it. The American people shouldn't get to determine that. They're elected president shouldn't get to dictate that. That they are the experts and they should run the show and the president should just be their spokesperson and if he ever challenges them he goes to prison. That's the meaning of this indictment.
And when they're using the Espionage Act which has been a hangover from World War I, the language in the Espionage Act is very clear that it's about doing anything that goes against the interests of the United States of America. So if these guys, the bureaucrats, the prosecutors, whomever, see Donald Trump being president as being against the interests of the United States of America, they will essentially stop at nothing what you're saying to stop him from being president again.
That's exactly what's going on. I mean they're basically saying "because you challenged us, we're going to try to put you in prison for 400 years and we're going to try to make sure you're never president again," just like they handicapped his presidency with as we now know from the Durham report a bogus RussiaGate investigation and smear campaign that might have prevented . . . if Trump had free reign, maybe we don't have this war with Ukraine. Maybe he would have found a solution so this war doesn't exist. So these are real world consequences to the perilous precedents. People think that it's about Trump. It's really about the power of the American people to control their own executive branch.
