I am a career retired peon from the DOJ. As a military rank comparison, I was a decorated Major (GS-13 Step 10). I can speak for most of my peers about our priorities and loyalties while in federal service. Never did I detect a hint of anything resembling a #DeepState. https://twitter.com/NikkiHaley/status/1192114000437358592
Federal career bureaucrats have a common saying when asked by a superior to do something that looks questionable: If it isn’t illegal, unethical, OR AGAINST POLICY, I will do my best to help. Policy is the bible of federal service. It directs and protects. #DeepState
Career advancements and recognition for federal employees are built upon knowledge of and adherence to policy. If you want to upset a federal bureaucrat, give directions that are outside of policy. #DeepState
When @NikkiHaley says Trump is a disrupter, I hear her saying he wants people to follow his directions irregardless of policy. The only #DeepState I’ve ever seen in federal service is an adherence first to the law and then to policy.
Big Picture:

Congress writes laws.

The President approves the laws.

The Courts see that laws are followed.

The President directs government bureaucrats to write policies that are in harmony with the law.

Federal employees follow policy.
When democratic politicians from our republic want to change government, they write laws, appoint judges, and revise policy. And they do these things within the parameters of established laws and as allowed by the Constitution. #MAGA
My peace of mind as a US Citizen and former federal employee has been tested by Trump as he has attempted to make changes to government by Tweets, rallies, and provocative press conferences. Trump behaves like a CEO not like a President as required by the Constitution. #DeepState
