The "Deep State" definitely exists if by deep state you mean people inside and outside of government (outside meaning media and private interests) that share the similar political goals working together to sway public opinion and undermine the will of the people if they aren't on the same page. That includes lying, planting false stories in the media, spinning facts, leaking information, false flag operations etc... They are basically undermining the democracy because they think they know better.

A start, but still very nebulous...you see one cannot adequately define deep state without calling out specifically the groups or families (of groups) involved and their specific objectives...so can you be more specific and really try to nail it down...?

On top of it, each specific country is likely to have different constellation of what a Deep State is there...https://www.theatlantic.com/internat...-state/517221/
“Be careful playing with the deep-state idea, because it can so easily get out of control that it becomes a monster that helps whoever’s in charge curb freedom and intimidate dissidents, because it’s such a nebulous concept,” said Soner Cagaptay, who directs the Turkish Research Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “You don't have to prove that it exists. Once [the notion is] out there, and the public starts to believe it, anybody can be attached to it.”

Unelected officials affecting the results of our government.
Like those who took papers off Trump's desk.
Like Comey, totally operating outside of is authority
Like the FBI STROKE who biased an investigation.
Members of the DOJ slow-walking Trump's order to release materials.

Deep State is not at difficult to see or define.

My guess is he is working out an arrangement for his resignation in exchange for no prosecution of him. That would be the smart move on his part.

What circus?
Seems the WH knows what it is doing.
YOU seem a bit confused.

LEt me 'splain it to you.

The press is supposed to REPORT what happens, not explain why what happened was not what THEY though would happen.

FOX is just as guilty here, btw.

Lesson to ALL of he media here - know your roles and shut your holes. You report the news, period.

It's impossible to name everyone in government and the IC because we don't know them all. But CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, and the Washington Post have all obviously been the beneficiary of leaks from inside government from both democrats and republicans that are trying to prevent Trump from blowing up the status quo and redefining the democrat and republican parties. The "establishment" wants to go back to business as usual. Regardless of whether you agree with him or not, Trump is trying to change that. So "they" are trying to destroy him.
