I may overstate the case as I wrote it in the title, but not by much.
First off, this is an introduction to a series of posts; I started digging into this, and there is a lot of info to deal with, so there will be follow up posts in specific areas.
It doesn't take much to subvert an organization...not everybody has to be in the game!
In the corruption/collusion case that we are looking at right now, it's obvious that the Counter-Intelligence chain is compromised, and the top tier of the FBI has aligned itself with the Clinton ( and most likely Obama) wing of the Deep State.
*The Counter-Intelligence function (and it's similes in other organizations) isone of those areas that a subverisve group should target, because control of that function gives you control over the entire organization.
I'll put it like this for a real world comparison...if HR in a company is polluted with SJWs, most employees hired after that evolution will be SJW approved...and going by Marvel and the NFL, that business is sure to start losing money ;>
The genisis for this post came from a hat tip from @nxtblg
Former FBI Agent Jonathan Gilliam: Bureau’s Top Brass Climb Ladder by Ideology, Not Merit
“Go in and think like a liberal” was the advice two FBI agents gave Jonathan Gilliam prior to his taking an FBI entrance exam.
“The people who are like-minded, the people that get along are going to be the ones that stay there,” added Gilliam. “They’re not going to recruit people who don’t do what they do, who don’t think like they do.”
The “deep state” network of leftists, said Gilliam, extends across various federal bureaucracies. He advised President Donald Trump to cleanse federal bureaucracies of politically corrupt leftists.
subversion
I've talked about subversion in the Information War mindframe before. Subversion is about more than direct power.
Institutional Control - How else do you get the power to indoctrinate without controlling those institutions that provide information? Besides the power that institutions can have to coerce individual actions, a threat of institutional control is the ability of some institutions (education, news media, entertainment media, and academia) to disseminate information and to indoctrinate. #fakenews that I create as Joe Blogger has no comparison in power to that #fakenews issued by CBS. Finally, institutions grant the appearance of authority to information; if an agency is responsible for the custody or generation of information, the assumption is that the information is correct.
And yet, power itself work, too ;>
Ideological alignment allows otherwise disconnected people across federal bureaucracies to cooperate absent conspiracy, said Gilliam, using terrorist networks as an illustration of this phenomenon.
“You know how terrorist cells work. They have a financial group that raises money, you have planners, you have people who build the bombs, and you have people that carry the operation out,” said Gilliam. “They may never meet those people, but they belong to the same ideology.”
“These behaviors are not something that is just simply at the FBI,” concluded Gilliam. This is a problem across the board.”
What is the Deep State made of?
I still don't have enough facts to give you a percentage of who makes up what.
My best guesses are
- Leftists
- Muslim Brotherhood
- Remember the leftist/Muslim alliance
- The mafia
- Globalists
- Cartels?
Timeline
I'll adjust this timeline as I dig further into these questions...the point here is to look at when and where the FBI started acting against the interest of American liberty. So, I'll try to look at those points in terms of who benefiots, and who in the FBI was related to whatever outside force that would benfit from that action.

It should be noted that when Gorelick penned the aforementioned memo, President Clinton was extremely worried about ongoing FBI and CIA investigations into illegal Chinese contributions that had been made to his presidential campaign

He confronted Reno over her stifling of criminal probes into Clinton-Gore fundraising scandals - including what he rightly called "compelling" evidence of Vice President Al Gore's "active, sophisticated" involvement in those schemes.

globalists?
You can call them deep state. You can call them globalists. I often call them communists,” said Gilliam of left-wing federal bureaucrat careerists.
