US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday said that there was no "deep state" in either the CIA or the State Department.

"I don't believe there's a deep state at the State Department," he told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee when asked about a President Donald Trump's tweet in this regard.

"Look how things have turned around on the Criminal Deep State," Trump said in a tweet today. He was apparently referring to reports that a federal informant had contacted the Trump campaign in 2016.

"He said there is a criminal deep state. As you know, Representative Nunes has said he's also going to investigate the State Department. Do you believe there is a criminal deep state at the State Department?" Pompeo was asked during the Congressional hearing.

He replied that he has not seen the comments from the President and does not believe there was a "deep state" at the State Department.

Pompeo was also asked if the deep state existed in the CIA, as he previously served its director.

"No. This term deep state's been thrown around. I'll say this. The employees that worked for me at the CIA nearly uniformly were aimed at achieving the president's objectives and America's objectives," he said.

"And that's your experience also when you interact with colleagues at the FBI and Department of Justice, as well?" he was asked again. "Yes. There are always exceptions to every rule. I've never led an organisation that didn't have bad actors. I don't think any government organisation is exempt from having malfeasance, as well," Pompeo said.

In general, he said, members of the various agencies are honouring their oaths to the US Constitution.

Steve Bannon was largely responsible for starting the deep state myth, or rather, fanning the embers of this conspiracy theory into a forest fire. When trying to deal with ( read: manipulate) someone who's already paranoid, the easiest method is to keep them rattled, by suggesting that the entire Government apparatus is gunning for them.

That being said, it must be enormously frustrating for Trump to keep running into appointees that take their oaths seriously. I remember a ( supposed ) quote from King Henry VIII, who was stymied by advisors that kept citing the law at him, which caused him to yell "I AM the law!". Unfortunately for Trump, POTUS is not King, and is subject to the law................the same as us commoners.

Most people behave when the boss is around or an honest person who will report them. I only know what I believe when I mention the deep state. It's a person who acts one way in public and another in private. A person who has an agenda that isn't good for everyone but only a select few. One who will sell out their parents, siblings, friends, and country for money or prestige. When someone has too many secrets or stops talking when you walk into a room. I've seen too many better people passed over for promotions because they didn't play golf (no offense), drink, weren't a member of the right club, family, fraternity, etc... I've never heard Trump say he wanted to be king. I don't think he has ever encouraged anyone to violate their oath of office, the law, or the Constitution. He seems to knows what he wants and is working very hard to achieve it and surrounds himself with like-minded people. Dang, he's a lot like me. He may not be king but he is the leader of the free world. Not much difference except length of service and window dressing. I'm a simple person, I know right from wrong, but, there are so many laws today I'm sure we are all guilty of something.

Well, Pompeo was President Trump's choice for Secretary of State and prior to that, his choice for Director of the CIA.

Trump is neither a god or the God and thus he is as prone to making mistakes as either you or I. That is my belief in the matter is that Trump made a mistake and I am sure that if you talked to Trump he would admit to many mistakes that he made over his lifetime. Some we learn from and others not so much. I am sure that for the most part he is a much better reader of people than I am but he can still be lied to. He is also not as informed regarding politics as say a politician may be. One of the differences that I see is that the left rallied behind Obama when he was elected and supported him. When Trump was elected the right rallied behind President Trump way behind in fact to the point of not even being seen. When Obama and the left decided on what their agenda was the left was all to happy to recommend who should do what. Trumps agenda of making America Great Again and destroying the deep state and turning the government back to the people didn't go over to well with those that had their living there and were faced with possibly losing their future millions if they helped Trump. Your very smart would you help the man that wanted to cut off your arms and legs. That is the way I see Washington when it comes to Trump and that is my story and I am sticking to it.

Wheres badbobby is he out fishing today?

If you mean President Donald Trump, I would, but that is up to him. For eight long years I tried to be polite and call Mr. Barack Obama by his name, and I wish that you afford the same courtesy to us now that the presidency has changed hands.

Barack Obama did neither to earn either yet because he was elected by the people he deserved to be called by his correct title whether we liked it or not. Being polite is something that your parents should have taught you and if they did then you are rebelling now. Being polite and courteous is something that we used to oall do in America and it would be nice if we could all return to the pages of yesteryear and treat people with respect. In your own circle of friends behave as you will but when in public behave as you should not as you want.

What a shock. I have been called every vile name in the book on this website because I think Trump is a terrible mistake as a president. I made the error of calling another poster the same name he/she called me, and I was banned from OPP for three days. It's obvious where our moderator's sympathies lie.
