People get this backwards all the time. The deep state wants money and influence. They don't care if the guy they work with wears a red tie or a blue tie. The major advantage is the longer they work with a blue tie the more the red tie people are willing to pay for their access.

They're not an agency with an agenda so much as they are an amorphous blob of collected power.

Think "mafia" and you'll start seeing it.
