Correct. He has influence over many organizations (some of which contract with the government) and politicians, but Soros himself is not “Deep State” per se.
At least you are consistent, unlike others that believe in a Deep State that is some how controlled by outside liberal influences.
One thing though, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. The same percentage of conservatives as democrats should be part of this conspiracy as noted by Woodward and the Op-ed author, that high ranking Republicans kept information from Trump or prevented him from seeing documents.
