"There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol.

"The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections.

"The subsurface part of the iceberg I shall call the Deep State, which operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power."

Which factions in the US does this subsurface fertilize?

"In the 2013 novel 'A Delicate Truth,' John le Carré presents the 'deep state' as a moneyed, cultured élite—the 'non-governmental insiders from banking, industry, and commerce' whose access to information allows them to rule in secret.

"Trump’s conception is quite different.

"A real-estate baron, with the wealthiest Cabinet in U.S. history, Trump is at peace with the plutocracy but at war with the clerks—the apparatchiks who, he claims, are seeking to nullify the election by denying the prerogatives of his Administration."

Trump vs. the “Deep State”

Whatever Trump's conception of the Deep State's mulch may be, the non-governmental insiders from banking and commerce who ensure parasites like Donald Trump can blossom financially will continue to advance the interests of billionaires at the expense of society long after the Trump crime family dies in prison.

Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig to testify in own defense as trial winds down

Your link:

"Ex-Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig will testify in his own defense this week as he tries to beat charges that he concealed information from the Justice Department and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team about work done for the government of Ukraine.

"Defendants in white-collar cases are often reluctant to testify and subject themselves to cross-examination.

"The unusual move revealed on Monday comes as Craig's lawyers insisted -- as former Trump aides, including onetime campaign manager Paul Manafort and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, have in the past -- that prosecutors are acting overzealously."

Do you expect Trump to testify at his upcoming trial in the Senate?

Trump vs. the “Deep State”

"Every President expects devotion. Lyndon Johnson wished for an aide who would 'kiss my ass in Macy’s window at high noon and tell me it smells like roses. I want his pecker in my pocket.'

"But Trump has elevated loyalty to the primary consideration.

"Since he has no fixed ideology, the White House cannot screen for ideas, so it seeks a more personal form of devotion. Kellyanne Conway, one of his most dedicated attendants, refers reverently to the 'October 8th coalition,' the campaign stalwarts who remained at Trump’s side while the world listened to a recording of him boasting about grabbing women by the genitals."

How Russian Money Helped Save Trump’s Business

From your ridiculous link;
"Trump eventually made a comeback, and according to several sources with knowledge of Trump’s business, foreign money played a large role in reviving his fortunes, in particular investment by wealthy people from Russia and the former Soviet republics. This conclusion is buttressed bya growing body of evidence amassed by news organizations, as well as what is reportedly being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Southern District of New York."

So what?...what are you and your link saying?....what helped Trump make a comeback was his hit TV show and the notoriety it brought him and his company...many wealthy people look to other nations for investment...I read your whole link and do not see anything nefarious at all... just another weak swing at the Donald....

How Russian Money Helped Save Trump’s Business

From your ridiculous link;
"Trump eventually made a comeback, and according to several sources with knowledge of Trump’s business, foreign money played a large role in reviving his fortunes, in particular investment by wealthy people from Russia and the former Soviet republics. This conclusion is buttressed bya growing body of evidence amassed by news organizations, as well as what is reportedly being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Southern District of New York."

So what?...what are you and your link saying?....what helped Trump make a comeback was his hit TV show and the notoriety it brought him and his company...many wealthy people look to other nations for investment...I read your whole link and do not see anything nefarious at all... just another weak swing at the Donald....

I think France bankrolled the US before it was the US. Holland too.

"There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol.

"The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections.

"The subsurface part of the iceberg I shall call the Deep State, which operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power."

Which factions in the US does this subsurface fertilize?

"In the 2013 novel 'A Delicate Truth,' John le Carré presents the 'deep state' as a moneyed, cultured élite—the 'non-governmental insiders from banking, industry, and commerce' whose access to information allows them to rule in secret.

"Trump’s conception is quite different.

"A real-estate baron, with the wealthiest Cabinet in U.S. history, Trump is at peace with the plutocracy but at war with the clerks—the apparatchiks who, he claims, are seeking to nullify the election by denying the prerogatives of his Administration."

Trump vs. the “Deep State”

Whatever Trump's conception of the Deep State's mulch may be, the non-governmental insiders from banking and commerce who ensure parasites like Donald Trump can blossom financially will continue to advance the interests of billionaires at the expense of society long after the Trump crime family dies in prison.

Career politicians and high level civilian federal employees make up 100% of the swamp/deep state/the collective... fact

Career politicians and high level civilian federal employees make up 100% of the swamp/deep state/the collective... fact

Even if that claim is factual, do the actions of those career politicians and high level civilian federal employees serve the economic interests of "billionaires" like Trump or the vast majority of Americans?

"Ex-Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig will testify in his own defense this week as he tries to beat charges that he concealed information from the Justice Department and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team about work done for the government of Ukraine.

"Defendants in white-collar cases are often reluctant to testify and subject themselves to cross-examination.

"The unusual move revealed on Monday comes as Craig's lawyers insisted -- as former Trump aides, including onetime campaign manager Paul Manafort and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, have in the past -- that prosecutors are acting overzealously."

Do you expect Trump to testify at his upcoming trial in the Senate?

There’s not going to be a trial in the Senate.

So what?...what are you and your link saying?....what helped Trump make a comeback was his hit TV show and the notoriety it brought him and his company...many wealthy people look to other nations for investment...I read your whole link and do not see anything nefarious at all... just another weak swing at the Donald....

Did you find anything potentially nefarious about Bayrock or Felix Sater's ties to the Russian Mafia?

How Russian Money Helped Save Trump’s Business

"According to Trump’s former real-estate partner and other sources who are familiar with the internal workings of the Trump Organization, his post-’90s revival may have really begun in the early 2000s with the Bayrock Group, which rented offices two floors down from Trump’s in Trump Tower.

"Bayrock was run by two investors who would help to change Trump’s trajectory: Tevfik Arif, a Kazakhstan-born former Soviet official who drew on seemingly bottomless sources of money from the former Soviet republic; and Felix Sater, a Russian-born businessman who had pleaded guilty in the 1990s to a huge stock-fraud scheme involving the Russian mafia.

"With Bayrock’s help, Trump began his broad transformation from a builder to a brander.

"He reinvented himself and his business model—going from being a force in real estate to a nearly bankrupt but brazen self-promoter who had mainly his name to sell.

"In lieu of the big banks, Bayrock helped to bring Trump back into real estate by supplying him with the equity stake he needed to entice new lenders for big projects, according to a former Bayrock official."

It's likely the US would not have won its Revolutionary War without French aid.
How did the US repay that Debt after the War to End All Wars?

"The desire of the United States to secure repayment for cash loans and goods extended to European Allies during and after World War I was a highly publicized issue during the 1920s. The stance did much to destroy the loyalties and goodwill that had developed during the conflict."
