Yes, There Was a Deep State — And It Came for Trump

In this episode of Views on the News from the Couch, Jeff walk's through why he  believes there really was a “deep state” — and how it targeted Donald Trump. Drawing on newly declassified ODNI material, House and Senate findings, and Jonathan Turley’s reporting on the Florida grand jury, he argues that senior Obama‑era officials and their allies helped manufacture and sell a Trump–Russia collusion narrative they knew their own intelligence did not support. Jeff traces how that story was laundered through intelligence assessments, rewarded with Pulitzers, and used to justify years of investigations that crippled Trump’s presidency, while warning President Trump not to answer one abuse of the security state with another.
