Gary Bauer: The DHS Deep State

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem made a shocking announcement Thursday. She said:
 
“Performing my role as Secretary of Homeland Security has shown me just how real and dangerous the deep state really is. Elon Musk helped us find that a few DHS staff had installed spying software on the phones and computers of myself and other political hires.”
 
This is astonishing! Don’t miss that Elon Musk and his DOGE people uncovered this spying software. No wonder there was such a furious reaction by the Left to Musk and his team entering federal buildings.
 
Did Biden/Harris appointees plant these listening devices and computer spyware on their way out the door? Are Deep State operatives still embedded in the Department of Homeland Security now?
 
Noem said that while she believed the Deep State existed, “I never would have dreamed that it was as bad as it is.”
 
Secretary Noem also revealed that she just discovered “secret, secure rooms with hidden files that we turned over to attorneys.” This is happening in other agencies, too. FBI Director Kash Patel found a trove of documents in “burn bags” in a room that had been kept secret from him and other Trump officials.
 
In related news, there are even more questions surrounding the Biden FBI’s spying on Kash Patel and Susie Wiles.
 
Reuters reported that the FBI had recorded a phone conversation in 2023 between Wiles and her attorney and that the attorney knew the call was being recorded. Now, Wiles’ attorney adamantly denies knowing that any call was recorded by the FBI.
 
The lawyer told Axios, “If I ever pulled a stunt like that, I wouldn’t—and shouldn’t—have a license to practice law. I’m as shocked as Susie.” If that’s true, then Jack Smith either lied to a judge when he got a warrant to record the call, or there never was a warrant.
 
Republicans in Congress ought to be pounding the table, demanding answers and prosecutions!
 
The real danger to our “democracy” is not Donald Trump. It’s the leftist/Marxist Deep State—an unaccountable “shadow government” that censors the truth, lies, meddles in our elections, spies on us, and undermines our elected leadership.
