The best way to understand the deep state is that it is a collection of independent, decentralized cliques of civil servants

Many of them have taken independent shots at Trump
There's the FBI clique - Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page

Then, there's the DOJ clique - Andrew Weissmann and friends

Now, we're looking at the NSC clique - Ciaramella, Vindman, etc
There was a CIA/Intel specific clique too, with Brennan and Clapper leading that one

There's not some grand conspiracy behind the scenes, because there doesn't need to be

Every clique hated Trump so they all started working against him at various points in 2016-17
In that sense, the civil service rebellion against Trump is a decentralized, emergent phenomenon, not a top-down, command and control operation
This is true in most areas of life

"Grand conspiracies" rarely happen because coordinating large numbers of people in secret is incredibly difficult

If discretion is required you can really only work with a few people that you know well
Also - if Nikki Haley is right, there was another clique working against the President from within the cabinet/WH, that included Kelly and Tillerson
