Alex Vindman Is Living, Breathing Proof That The Deep State Exists, And It Is Corrupt Democrats and the Deep State have elevated more policy disagreements to what amounts to an attempted coup. Just listen to Alex Vindman. By Jim Hanson, November 12, 2019
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is living, breathing, testifying proof the Deep State exists. He has shown his true colors and the agenda of the self-appointed elites who think they run this country.
Let me state categorically that I am not implying dual loyalty or questioning Vindman’s patriotism or even his devotion to duty as he sees it. I’m questioning his judgment about where that duty lies and the execution of those duties as a military officer and civil servant.
The term “deep state” is now highly charged politically. The right takes it as a given, the left sometimes denies its existence. Here’s my definition for the purposes of this discussion.
Deep State (noun): The permanent, professional bureaucracy of the U.S. government, specifically those who believe their judgment and continual service makes them better suited to run the country than elected officials or political appointees.
That’s accurate, but to expand on why it matters, we should note the political contributions of federal employees in the last presidential election went 95 percent to Hillary Clinton. There is nothing illegal or nefarious about that, but it certainly points out the one-sided political nature of this cohort. While they may not openly organize into political action committees, their hold on federal levers of power dangerously skews government’s actions and inactions toward the preferences of the political left.
Unless he was ordered to do what he is doing he truly should be court-martialed. If he is under orders then whoever issued those orders should be in the dock with him.
We will never again be truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist Income Tax Code and the IRS!

I am not sure exactly how that all works... but I believe that when someone like a Vindman is assigned to the NSC, his normal chain of command (the Army in his case) sort of washes their hands of him. For the time that he is there, he is working under the general direction of the NSA.... now that person is O'Brien... little I've seen of him, he seems OK.... but too early to be sure.... the one frustrating thing that we need to keep in mind, is that "timing" is everything.... especially in cases like this.... if the Army Brass (or even O'Brien) came down on this POS like a ton of bricks now (deservedly so)... the enemedia-Dem would be howling to add another impeachment charge for "obstruction of justice!!"
Before age 30 I was a fast rising manager. I learned the most important resource, was the old department secretary. She knew almost everything, or could find it.
I got my own coffee, and I showed them I knew how to touch type reasonbly well (thanks to grandmother, mother, and the US Army).
Those department secretaries, were in part, the equivalent of the Permanent Administrative State. They are not inherentlybad, nor do they normally subvert the boss's agenda.
But in the case of Trump and the FedGov, they apparently do intend to subvert his policies.
I'm pretty sure that Vindman and others like him, get assurance from dems that they haave his back, so to speak.
