No president serves long enough to screw that up.\u00a0 So the damage, by definition, will be short-term.\u00a0 Still important, but short-term.\u00a0 How short that term is depends upon the rest of us and whether we have the courage to risk our jobs and votes against us by standing up and saying this is not who we are and speaking out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2018\/12\/23\/james-comey-theres-no-deep-state\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>      <!-- END CONTENT --><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333; font-size:11px;\">This article was posted: Monday, December 24, 2018  at  7:14 am<\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/><!-- share and follow --><br \/>\n      <!-- end of share and follow --><\/p>\n<div class=\"print_sub\">\n<h3 class=\"sub_titles\">&#13;<br \/>\n        \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/james-comey-theres-no-deep-state.html\/print\/\" title=\"Print\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-PrintIcon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-print\/images\/printer_famfamfam.gif\" alt=\"Print\" title=\"Print\" style=\"border: 0px;\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nPrint this page.<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<p><!--\n      \n\n<div class=\"nextpage\">\n              <\/div>\n\n \n -->    <\/p>\n<p><!--\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gm2pZEeYN0E?list=UUvsye7V9psc-APX6wV1twLg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n--><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/james-comey-theres-no-deep-state.html\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BreitbartDecember 24, 2018 NEW YORK \u2014 In testimony, former FBI Director James Comey exclaimed \u201cthere\u2019s no deep state\u201d before going on to suggest that workers risk their jobs by \u201cspeaking out\u201d \u2013purportedly against President Donald Trump.
