#1 One last torpedo. Timed to be released by friends and family, following the funeral and interment.

#4 I think it was written by the NYT. They're trying to gaslight the Trump administration:

"Let the enemy's own spy sow discord in the enemy camp."

The downside for the left is that now the Deep State has been confirmed as something real, by the left itself.

#5 It can't be Trump. No misspellings, not enough capitals and extra punctuation, no awkward use of the word "beautiful".

#6 I agree with Elmerert Hupens2660 but would confirming someones paranoia (Trump blames the deep state for slowing the implementation of his plans) really lead to more paranoia? I wouldn't think so.

#7 Falsely confirming a suspicion could trigger a witch hunt within the Trump administration.

Different factions who would be fundamentally loyal to the admin's policy objectives would start to distrust each other needlessly.

Alternatively this really could be a plant by Trump. His adversaries have now acknowledged the existence of a permanent bureaucracy that has been operating outside the framework of the US constitution, probably for many decades.

Even Democrats who agree with this "Deep State's" opposition to Trump cannot defend this outfit's legitimacy.

Hence Warren's call for invoking the 25th Amendment. This would be a legitimate act by dissenters in the administration, while playing "Deep State" isn't.

Warren is actually disowning the resistance within the executive branch.

Well have to wait and see who has been assigned the roles of Mundt, Fiedler and Leamas in this story, and by whom.

I agree gorb. With the possible exception of a former Alabama senator, I can't imagine Trump casting aspersions upon his own team.
