Trump’s problem isn’t that he has bad lawyers. It’s that he’s a bad client.

How hubris causes legal trouble.

The very qualities that lead people to wealth, power and fame can make them very poor consumers of legal advice; hubris is fatal to an effective attorney-client relationship. Trump prizes “loyalty” very highly, as many powerful people do. But real loyalty from an attorney doesn’t involve fawning over a client, refraining from criticism, or congratulating them for views both right and wrong. A good lawyer’s loyalty lies in being ready to give plain-spoken advice that will get you fired if your client’s in the wrong mood. An effective advocate’s loyalty isn’t about saying “Good idea” or “You’re right,” it’s about warning “Shut up” and “No, you shouldn’t do that” and “Yes, I understand you want to do that, but here’s why it’s a terrible idea.” Real loyalty looks like Cordelia, refusing to flatter King Lear at great cost, not like her sisters, praising him effusively to get more land.

Hey, that's their problem. If they want to have their little sandbox and try to associate to the bigger issue of a legitimate deep state, those are 2 different things. Snowden is sitting in Russia now because he gave us a little peek, but really no one cares unless they can score points for their team.

True enough.  I wasn't referring to the idea or suspicion that "unseen forces" etc. control what goes on, it was just the use of the term "deep state" for referring to it.  It's the etymology I was bumbling around with.  Of course, many people all over have had such suspicions to varying degrees.

All of us libertarians are screaming at the screen now. lol Believe me there has been plenty of talk about a deep state regardless of the sitting President since the 50s at least. Kennedy challenged it and look where it got him.

It predates Trump. I guess you could say it went "mainstream" in 2014 or 2013 (NYT), but it was already in use long before that.

Here is an article from 2014 just to show you plenty of people have been aware of the deep state well before Trump became President and this is from the Bill Moyer website: https://billmoyers.com/2014/02/21/anatomy-of-the-deep-state/

The Trump mantra: It is all rigged against him. He said it throughout the GOP primaries. Yet he won. Said it again throughout the general election. Yet he won.

When he wins, it is against all odds and all credit to him for beating the establishment (A relatively benign term that has given way to the scarier term Deep State). Our valiant warrior.

If he loses, it clearly is because he has been cheated. Our dogged martyr.

In all versions, the only trusted figure is Trump himself. Everyone else is suspect.
