IN DEEP THE FBI THE CIA AND THE TRUTH ABOUT AME...

Three-quarters of Americans believe that a group of unelected government and military officials
secretly manipulate or direct policy in the United States  and President Trump blames the deep
state for his impeachment. David Rohde explores the deep state and asks whether it really
exists. To conservatives  the deep state is a government bureaucracy that encroaches on the
rights of Americans. Liberals fear a cabal of generals and defence contractors who they believe
push the country into wars. Modern American presidents have engaged in power struggles with
Congress  the CIA and the FBI. CIA and FBI directors suspect White House aides and members of
Congress of leaking secrets. Citizens increasingly distrust the politicians  unelected
officials and journalists who they believe set the country's political agenda. Now  in this
time of heightened uncertainty  American democracy faces its biggest crisis of legitimacy in a
half century. In Deep examines the CIA and FBI scandals of the past fifty years. It then
investigates the claims and counterclaims of the Trump era. While Donald Trump says he is the
victim of the deep state  Democrats accuse the president and his allies of running a de facto
deep state of their own. Now more urgently than ever  the debate over the deep state raises
questions about the future of American democracy.
