So, if the CIA was part of the "deep state" in 2018, why would they bother discovering this "Chin-er" meddling that took place on Trump's watch and expose it?

While it's obvious the next Democratic president should pardon these individuals on day one, the judge who handed down the sentences should also be subjected to a federal investigation to determine if he abused his power and whether it warrants prosecution and potential imprisonment.

From Barry Blitt published in the New Yorker.
It’s a political drawing by Barry Blitt in the New Yorker. Trump is slumped over with his hands in his lap. Bari Weiss is standing over him looking at him the way one does a child being consoled. She is holding a diet coke can with a straw in it for Trump to sip from. He looks like a consternated child. 
Trump says…”Then she interrupted me, like six times. And said I was lying.”
Bari Responds…”We would never do that to you at CBS”
Trump adds “plus it’s raining…”
 Bari reassures him…”Drink your juice” 
Referring to the Diet Coke.

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.
Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.
