Summary:
"Three-quarters of Americans believe that a group of unelected government and military officials secretly manipulate or direct national policy in the United States. President Trump blames the "
deep
state
" for his impeachment. But what is the American "
deep
state
" and does it really exist? To conservatives, the "
deep
state
" is an ever-growing government bureaucracy, an "administrative
state
" that relentlessly encroaches on the individual rights of Americans. Liberals fear the "military-industrial complex"-- a cabal of generals and defense contractors who they believe routinely push the country into endless wars. Every modern American president-from Carter to Trump -- has engaged in power struggles with Congress, the
CIA
, and the
FBI
. Every
CIA
and
FBI
director has suspected White House aides of members of Congress of leaking secrets for political gain. Frustrated Americans increasingly distrust the politicians, unelected officials, and journalists who they believe unilaterally set the country'
s
political agenda. American democracy faces its biggest crisis of legitimacy in a half century. This sweeping exploration examines the
CIA
and
FBI
scandals of the past fifty years-from the Church Committee'
s
exposure of Cold War abuses, to Abscam, to false intelligence
about
Iraq'
s
weapons of mass destruction, to NSA mass surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden. It then investigates the claims and counterclaims of the Trump era, and the relentless spread of conspiracy theories online and on-air. While Trump says he is the victim of the "
deep
state
," Democrats accuse the president and his allies of running a de facto "
deep
state
" of their own that operates outside official government channels and smears rivals, both real and perceived. The feverish debate over the "
deep
state
" raises core questions
about
the future of American democracy. Is it possible for career government officials to be politically neutral? Was Congress's impeachment of Donald Trump conducted properly? How vast should the power of a president be? Based on dozens of interviews with career
CIA
operatives and
FBI
agents, In
Deep
answers whether the
FBI
,
CIA
, or politicians are protecting or abusing the public'
s
trust." -- From publisher.
