Martin's contention of the deep state is basically that "leaks" by un named sources is good.  They are necessarily verified and they may be from biased individuals but they are positive.

Tell that to the British police which are dealing with the American's leaking info about the security forces trying to track down the Manchester terrorist network.  It made life less safe for British people.

In Canada, Cabinet Secrecy is a strict law while in the US, un named sources leak all kinds of info about meetings with the President -as long as its Trump.

I am not a Trump supporter, but i am appalled by the Leaks in Washington and behavior of the media in promoting them.
