Shawn Ryan is no Jack Ryan of Tom Clancy fame, but he appears to be a fan of Joe Kent.
Shwawn Ryan came out today in defense of Joe Kent. Kent, who is suspected of being an leaker while working with DNI Gabbard, claimed today that he knew more than President Trump on Iran, and therefore he was resigning.
Ryan then praised Kent. What a joke.
Sometimes, the most impactful statement you can make is a strong resignation. It’s unfortunate it’s come down to this. God’s speed @joekent16jan19 I hope this wakes some people up.

Not to mention this, but only a few months prior to this Kent was on his podcast saying Iran had attacked US troops over 150 times (this is a low number by the way).
🔥🚨 WATCH: Just 3 months before President Trump’s election, Joe Kent appeared on the Shawn Ryan Show, stating Iranian proxies had attacked U.S. troops over 150 times.
Kent states escalation was the logical path absent of policy change.

Well, this did wake some people up.
We have learned again that the Deep State runs deep and Deep State actors can be identified a mile away. The two individuals in the above podcast are examples.
Here are some rules for identifying Deep State ops…
1. A person who seemingly comes out of nowhere
2. This person obtains a huge following on social media but there is not much there, to support this following.
3. The op says all the right things for some time (e.g. MTG, Tucker Carlson…)
4. In Tucker’s case and in others, there sometimes are crumbs that indicate they may not be what they claim they are. (Look at the FOX News texts of Tucker’s, for example where he says something like “he hates Trump”.)
5. They waste all their collateral in their big moment and fall flat on their face (…)
6. They often share limited small parts of a big story (limited hangouts) and the big story is buried
7. They often have done something in their past that makes them more susceptible to working for the Deep State.
8. They sometimes are very unattractive and are given a huge following and used against a group by tagging them to a group the Deep State is going after.
9. They lie and claim a big story emanated from them when it didn’t.
10. They are good at lying and show no signs of remorse when caught
11. They play the victim when caught.
12. They simply cannot be trusted after once being way off (i.e. neverTrumpers)
13. Sometimes they use fake names.
14. Sometimes they make bold claims, very hard to believe (because they’re not real).
15. The op comes out at seemingly the worst time ever – (e.g. Joe Kent as the war with Iran is happening)
That’s it – you heard it here first. If someone tries to claim this came from them, beware, they probably are Deep State.
