SALT LAKE CITY Don't look for references in Jason Chaffetz's new book, "The Deep State," to the mysterious "Q," a supposed federal government official behind internet conspiracy theories aimed at bolstering President Donald Trump.
"I haven't had any firsthand experience with that. It's not something I've looked at or paid any attention to," the former Utah congressman told the Deseret News. "I can't say definitively it's not true. But that's totally different than the deep state problems I see here."
The "Q" signs and T-shirts that surfaced at Trump campaign rallies this summer express support for often extreme theories spread online that are tied to what's seen as a plot headed by the president to take down their version of the deep state.

People who know how to do all the jobs few politicians even know are needed or even exist.
