I agree with you mostly. 99%+ of the civil servants are just cranking out their job although it seems like many of them refuse to return to their offices. The fact they are essentially immune from termination makes for bad optics now and then.

However the leadership of these agencies, certainly the director and the next layer or two beneath is another matter. This is where the deep state occurs in the way agency funds are requested and allocated, strategic leaks, resistance to congressional oversight, etc.

We in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM have an independent, non partisan civil service. Obama saw to that.

Lois Lerner didn't need to be told to fry conservative 501c(3) groups. That was what she was always going to do and she knew her management would look the other way. The Crossfire Hurricane people knew they had a mandate to violate the hell out of Carter Page's civil rights because they knew that's what the bosses wanted.

So on and so forth.

As the political side that is always on the receiving end of this kind of nonsense, we say...enough. Time to throw them all out and replace them.
