Dead men tell no tales.

“The Deep State is real,” Chaffetz wrote, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. “They don’t like exposure, accountability or responsibility. They fight back, outlast and work the system for their advantage. And they certainly don’t like disruptive forces such as Donald Trump.”

As long as government officials—elected and unelected alike—are allowed to operate beyond the reach of the Constitution, the courts and the citizenry, the threat to our freedoms remains undiminished.

Unfortunately, most Americans don’t seem to understand that indictments are not evidence. In fact, they are often evidence-free, as is this indictment.

Nullification works. Nullify the court cases. Nullify the laws. Nullify everything the government does that flies in the face of the principles on which this nation was founded. We could transform this nation if only Americans would work together to harness the power of their discontent.

What the affairs of the Deep State tell us about it.

Any serious effort to investigate Russian election hacks must begin with the man who let them do it.

The media Deep State enjoys the highest level of legal protection and the lowest level of accountability. That exposed it to the least risk in a conspiracy against America. It was not the most powerful player in Spygate. But it had the most range and the fewest limitations. FBI officials and Clinton campaign officials might face legal sanction, but the media figures that made the conspiracy possible never will.

All of this begs the question: just how deep does the deep state go?

Sleep tight, everyone because James Comey says there’s no deep state. It’s just a deep culture.
