It's easy to get the basic gist of the Deep State conspiracy theory, which posits that the FBI and CIA ginned up a devious plot to help Hillary Clinton and hurt Donald Trump. But there's an arch, coy, almost feline quality to the way these arguments are presented. The allegations are always cloaked for a later reveal.
And this is probably because the allegations are bonkers, and would sound that way to anyone not already primed to believe them.
The Deep State theory, when we get down to it, holds that the investigation into the Trump campaign was expressly political in origin. The Obama administration weaponized the security services, spied on the other party's candidate, and essentially invented the collusion story in an effort to elect Hillary Clinton. When this failed, the plot continued under the auspices of various Trump appointees, eventually metastasizing into Robert Mueller's probe.
This is sometimes said more-or-less outright by the conspiracy theorists themselves. But for that story to make a lick of sense – and this is why so many of its adherents always stop short of saying what they really mean – it would require a vast conspiracy stretching across two administrations.
Republicans on Capitol Hill are protecting the special counsel's investigation, which is being overseen by the president's own appointees. So we're not just talking about a conspiracy to sink Trump involving Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Christopher Steele, Robert Mueller, Barack Obama, James Clapper, Lisa Page, Loretta Lynch, Fusion GPS, and Peter Strozk. This thing would also stand to implicate Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein, and Christopher Wray, who must at least be party to a cover-up, as well as their staffs.

It is exactly that, just like the Whitewater obsession back in the day.

A very good question. At this point I would have to say its pretty much a tie. Since Biil, we've had a good guy (George W) followed by the bad guys (Obama) and now a 2nd good guy has won (Trump). But the false prophet hasn't given up, and is trying to make a comeback (in the mid-term elections) so its kinda hard to call right now.
But I can assure you that in the end, coming soon, the false prophet(s) will be cast alive into a very hot "living hell" burning with brimstone.

So why do you say B & H, and Obama are "false prophets"?
What earns them this designation?

How exactly?
can't even bring themselves to even say the words, Islamic Terrorists.
Seems like a rather narrow criteria for such a grand indictment....
Are you quite certain it's really they who are the false prophets, and not someone else? ?

Oh for crying out loud!
You've claimed that Christ returned in 312 A.D.
In the bible, the false prophet comes BEFORE Christ's return.
Both can't be true.

Not to worry, the "bad guy" will probably not be running in 2020....

I don't blame you most dissertations are just an attempt to baffle with bullshit, nothing more.

Uhuh.
You know. Disinformation was a lot more entertaining back in the 70's when you guy's forte was Bigfoot, UFO's, and the Bermuda Triangle.
Got any pictures of Elvis with a Wookie?

You futurists are a trip, In case you haven't heard I am a historocist, as virtually all eschatologists were before your hero came along (Schofield). That includes the Puritans, the historicists who founded America for God;'s sake. My commentary on the Revelation is simply a commentary on all the fulfillments of prophecy that has occurred since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.
Nostradamus is another example of a historicist who got everything right, so I am in good company. You on the other hand are not. I dont know of any futurist who has ever got anything right yet Do you?

Oh my sides!
I will admit however that he got more of predictions correct than you have.
Prophets in the bible had to be 100% accurate. You and Nostradamus aren't even close to that.

Dead sure. It all started the day the Euphrates began to go dry, when the Islamic terrorists declared war on the Serbian Christians. Instead of helping the Christians, Mr.Clinton helped the Muslims to take over two Christian States, which is a big NO-NO with God.

It wasnt spontaneous. God has been making man from dirt ever since the first dirt appeared (on Day 3 of creation, circa 1.5 to 1.8 billion years ago).
