'Deep State' revealed as anti-Trump architect

As I said in a Pit thread:

Lately I’ve seen both Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald complain about the likes of MSNBC taking the side of bad actors in the CIA. And the CIA has a bad reputation with a lot of idealists around the world, left or right. But it got that reputation because of what political leaders like Ike, Nixon, and Dulles had it do.

The dumb thing about anyone taking Donald Trump’s side against the CIA, even if the CIA is full of evil fools, even if the CIA is lying about what they have on him, is as follows:
Trump won’t get rid of the CIA; he’ll make it worse.
The CIA are trying to protect themselves from being perverted into some arm of the Trump Organization.
Trump may look, to international leftists, like the lesser evil than the CIA. But this only holds true so long as he is merely a politically powerless private businessman with a badly performing family business.
Once Trump got control of CIA, he would make it a greater evil than the combined evil the two could do separately.

In this case, the CIA has good reason to pull out all the stops against Trump, and (like FDR funding Stalin), we have good reason to support them.
