The State Department has its own intelligence agency, called the Bureau of Intelligence and Research. US intelligence doesn't even try to hide its tendrils in half the executive branch. And that's just what they're willing to admit. The term "Deep State" makes it sound like it's a secret, when they're a lot closer to outright declaring themselves rulers than being an actual conspiracy.
State Department works hand in glove with intelligence agencies, so that's a given.
