Is there a new "deep state," a Trump "deep state" full of Trump appointees, or, was the whole "deep state" thing just a fabrication created by the right?

It will always be around. Remember when TTQ64 said that what happened in Libya was the responsibility of the deep state (racist white men in this case) and not Obama and Sec of State Clinton? It may have different forms to those on the left and right but doubtful it completely goes away.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

The "deep state" had a more sinister theme, and can't say I recall it being tossed around as prevalently as it was by the right wing media during the Trump era.
Always my contention that with the GOP controlling all the Branches of Government when Trump won the Presidency the right wing media was short on bad guys to fit into their melodramas, so, the "deep state" was born, generalized enough to explain away anything

Every brain born has a lifetime conflict with ancestral displacement and intellectual social position within the population present. Why, life is a compounding connection between inception, conception, death, extinction life doesn't exceed what exists now.
the Swamp abides.

Impeachment Witness Fiona Hill Connected Christopher Steele to Dossier Source,
https://thenationalpulse.com/breakin...teele-dossier/
“She, according to Christopher Steele’s debriefings, was the person that connected Christopher Steele to his primary sub source for the dossier and he later, according to Christopher Steele, he tells Fiona Hill that that sub source, that person that she had connected to him is part of the reason why the dossier became the dossier,” he adds.
The source was “the one that the FBI subsequently interviewed and said Christopher Steel’s representations weren’t true, they were made up, it was bar talk, I never intended it to be FBI information.”
Anyone who pretends that there isn't an entrenched federal bureaucracy outside the control of political appointees is ignorant or lying.
