It's being used in comparison to Turkey or Egypt; not a comparable situation. Like being underpaid isn't slavery.https://twitter.com/zrakMalogMeseca/status/832643578924969985 …

Geez, people. You have stepped up leaking. Which is worth thinking about. But not a deep state, or a "deep state coup". Stepped up leaking.

1) Deep State subversion extends b/y leaks (https://www.wsj.com/articles/spies-keep-intelligence-from-donald-trump-1487209351 …); 2) Many liberals expressly calling for Deep State disruptionpic.twitter.com/Nr7fPr2BPe

Deep state, in the contexts where it comes from and and presented with Turkish flags, does not mean "non-electoral the state".

I am no fan of all leaks, and as I pointed out to you and others, Wikileaks has turned more to political sabotage than leaks.

So leaks should be judged with regard to ethics, context, public right to know and curation. So question is do these fit?

If, all of a sudden, you define "deep state" as leakers who work for intelligence agencies, than Snowden is a deep state leaker.

That said, in the same thread, I do say expecting non-electoral institutions to fix electoral issues is futile.pic.twitter.com/Ru5awYXuCi

Similar to Russia. I don't naively deny the issue, but I believe the the fix is elsewhere. Fix democracy & vulnerabilities.

I see stepped up leaking, deep state in Turkey was a paramilitary shadowy network killing people. Being underpaid isn't slavery.

It is should always be up for discussion if leaks are in the public interest and expose wrongdoing.

But labeling leaks coming from the state (yep, they are the state) employees "deep state" seems wrong. You are fairly pro-leak.

Now you're not? What's the criteria? I repeat mine: expose wrongdoing of sufficient gravity that public has right to know. /end
