Sputnik — 'Two Guys in a Steam Bath': Media Claims About Trump's Phone Calls With Putin Set Twitter Ablaze

The deep state is upping the attack on the president with the assistance of the media.

Heated discussions have erupted online after a number of insiders familiar with the contents of US President Donald Trump's phone conversations with foreign heads of state offered rather unflattering accounts of how POTUS allegedly conducted himself during those calls, according to a CNN report penned by legendary journalist Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame.

History records that Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein took down President Nixon using information provided by "Deep Throat" who could as well  have been characterized as "Deep State." Woodward and Bernstein later confirmed that Deep Throat had been FBI Associate Director Mark Felt.

I was happy to see Nixon go at the time, and I would not be sorry to see Trump go now, but I am as much concerned with the inordinate power of the Deep State as the intelligence services, senior military, and senior administrative bureaucracy and the use of that power to shape national policy through complicit media.
