INTRODUCTION

The Deep State and Its Discontents

The author, a working-class immigrant from Queens and Long Island, has been on the front lines of major national security and political battles against the Deep State for seven years. He discovered the biggest criminal conspiracy by government officials since Watergate, Russia Gate, which involved false rumors about the Republican presidential nominee and hijacked the law enforcement apparatus. Targeted disinformation campaigns by government operatives and the fake news mafia led to a witch hunt investigation that consumed years of the nominee-turned-president's term.

The book is not about one scandal or exposé on the famous cast of malicious characters in Washington, DC, but about how the American people slowly came to realize the truth about those who run the country. The Trump era was an unveiling of unaccountable elites in Washington who believe anything is justified to preserve their power. The author fought battle after battle against the spiteful mandarins who continually attempted to subvert the orders of the duly elected president to achieve their own political ends.

The Deep State includes elected leaders, media journalists, Big Tech tycoons, and officials within the executive branch. They operate independently of elections and the people, with their own rules, priorities, interests, and sources of power. They manipulate the national security apparatus and abuse their power to subvert what the people voted for, twisting reality according to their own purposes and shredding the foundations of the constitutional republic.

The author highlights the politicized investigation, lack of oversight, accountability, and interest from Congress or the press, selective leak of classified information, and a seemingly coordinated cover-up where the truth seems always hidden or blocked from dissemination by Big Tech.

The Deep State is a group of high-level cultural leaders and officials who operate in the shadows using arcane bureaucracy, opaque legal minutia, hidden levers of power, and insider political gamesmanship. They operate at the highest levels of almost every agency, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to the intelligence community to the Department of Defense (DoD). This politicized bureaucracy has been operating and growing within the American government for decades, with President Eisenhower warning about it when he spoke of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry.

Democrats have traditionally been skeptical of and sometimes hostile to the politicized federal bureaucracy, while Democrats have supported it. However, the price of rule by the Deep State is high—not less than the end of self-government in America. The battle with the Deep State is not just another theater in the fight between Democrats and Republicans; it's about the nature of our government. The Deep State is a cabal of unelected tyrants who think they should determine who the American people can and cannot elect as president, who think they get to decide what the president can and cannot do, and who believe they have the right to choose what the American people can and cannot know.

The Deep State has already done shocking and terrible details to increase its power, and there are no depths to which the Deep State will not descend, crimes they will not commit, or lives they will not destroy to get their way. However, they are not invincible. The author has confronted the Deep State as a public defender in Miami, a federal prosecutor at the National Security Department, and a senior White House counterterrorism official in the Trump administration.

PART I

THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Reckless DoJ

The author grew up in the '80s and '90s, trusting public officials but more focused on other things. They had a deep connection with India, attending temples and celebrating holidays like Diwali and Navratri. Growing up, they were infused with dispositional conservatism, believing in hard work, fairness, personal responsibility, and not expecting special favors or treatment from their leaders.

The author initially wanted to be a doctor, but was dissuaded by a college guidance counselor who warned about the long and difficult process of applying for medical schools and residency programs. Despite being thankful for doctors, the author dropped the idea due to two reasons: first, they had another career path in mind: being a defense lawyer.

After listening to the advice, the author decided against medical school and considered law school as a perfect option. However, they didn't want to be a defense lawyer like those on the golf course, as everyone deserves a lawyer, even criminals. Instead, they saw law school as a way to climb the economic ladder, working at a white shoe firm making a lot of money.

In summary, the author's upbringing and experiences led them to become one of the Deep State's most dogged opponents. Their upbringing was characterized by a strong sense of American pride, hard work, fairness, personal responsibility, and a belief in the right to special favors and treatment.

The author grew up in a politically conservative environment, but eventually decided to become a public defender. They were drawn to the defense lawyers at the Garden City Country Club and found the public defender office in Miami-Dade, Florida, to be the top defense office in the country. Public defenders are left-wing and often see criminals as true victims, while American society is seen as the bad actor. However, the author was happy to become a public defender because they cared about justice and wanted those who did good to be rewarded and wrongdoers to be punished.

Due process is the basis of due process in the legal field, which ensures that every person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a
