Do you need any more proof there is a group within the government that wanted to keep Trump from taking office? A roundup of editorials Tuesday takes a look at the issue.
 Opinions from the right:

1.  FBI/FISA memo exposes 'deep state'
From Ron Paul: Yes there is a 'deep state' and both sides play a part in it.

2. The FBI's scandalous attempt to block the Nunes memo
From The Washington Post: Our problem isn't the memo it's the FBI.

3. The FISA-gate boomerangs
From National Review: The story of wrongdoing by Obama-era DOJ and FBI officials is only just starting.

The left wonders why the right didn't speak up about FBI secrets before.
