Deep State Official: ‘There Are Dozens and Dozens of Us'
[Breitbart] Another anonymous senior official in Donald Trump’s administration confirmed the existence of the "deep state" resistance in the presidency.

"I find the reaction to the NYT op-ed fascinating ‐ that people seem so shocked that there is a resistance from the inside," an anonymous senior official told Axios, admitting that some of them wished they had written the piece.

"I hope he knows ‐ maybe he does? ‐ that there are dozens and dozens of us," the source continued.

Trump wrote on Thursday that his success was driving his enemies crazy.

"The Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media, are going Crazy ‐ and they don’t know what to do," he wrote on Twitter.

Trump added that he would continue to "drain the swamp" despite their resistance to his important changes.

"I’m draining the Swamp, and the Swamp is trying to fight back," he wrote on Wednesday night. "Don’t worry, we will win!"

Except Maverick himself, and Meggie Moo.

#5 There are dozens and dozens of us. However, there has been a slow whittling away of the swamp (Maybe not so slow but not as fast as many would like). Maybe there will be an October surprise.

#6 Anyone found disobeying and sabotaging should be fired and lose their pension at the very minimum. If they are involved in security issues they should be charged with treason.

They are there to serve the US as led by the elected President, not their own whims and false gods.

#7 No, they want to be rebels, treat them as rebels. Declare a state of emergency, track them down, put them on trial and anyone assisting them, and when they are found guilty, put them against the wall or dangle them from a tree. They have admitted to attempting to overthrow the legal government of the United States.
