Publisher's summary

Investigative journalist Lee Smith uses his unprecedented access to Congressman Devin Nunes, former head of the House Intelligence Committee, to expose the deep state operation against the president - and the American people.

Investigative journalist Lee Smith's The Plot Against the President tells the story of how Congressman Devin Nunes uncovered the operation to bring down the commander-in-chief. While popular opinion holds that Russia subverted democratic processes during the 2016 elections, the real damage was done not by Moscow or any other foreign actor. Rather, this was a slow-moving coup engineered by a coterie of the American elite, the "deep state," targeting not only the president, but also the rest of the country. The plot officially began July 31, 2016, with the counterintelligence investigation that the FBI opened to probe Russian infiltration of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. But the bureau never followed any Russians. In fact, it was an operation to sabotage Trump, the candidate, then president-elect, and finally the presidency. The conspirators included political operatives, law enforcement and intelligence officials, and the press.

The plot was uncovered by Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and his investigative team. They understood that the target of the operation wasn't just Trump, but rather the institutions that sustain our republic. A country where operatives use the intelligence and security services to protect their privileges by spying on Americans, coordinating with the press, and using extra-constitutional means to undermine an election then undo a presidency is more like the third world than the republic envisioned by the founding fathers.

Without Nunes and his team, the plot against the president - and against the country - never would have been revealed. Told from the perspective of Nunes and his crack investigators - men and women who banded together to do the right thing at a crucial moment for our democracy - the story of the biggest political scandal in a generation unfolds like a great detective novel, feels like a classic cowboy movie. The congressman from the cattle capital of California really did fight corruption in Washington. Devin Nunes took on the "deep state."

Fantastic Account of the Defenders of The Republic

While I had always recognized that a few honorable and principled patriots such as Devin Nunes, Mike Rodgers, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, and a few others, but I didn't realize the monumental task that Devin embarked on when he challenged the most powerful entities in human existence.

Best Document Describing Coup

You may have already read Gregg Jarrett's two books, Andrew McCarthy's and Kimberly Srassel's recent books on the coup, but this one tops them all.

This book describes what went into the coup. It explains why the press was so tied to the conspirators and did not play its traditional role as the watchdog for wrongdoings of the government. This is an absolute must read for Republicans and those Democrats that want to know how they have been duped into believing that Trump is guilty of anything.

If the Democrats don't start fighting this kind of corruption, I fear for the Republic.

The Democrat Party is a Lie.

Incredible book with great detail as to what happened during and after the 2016 election. Will open your eyes If you had no idea and will confirm all suspicions If you have been following along. Deep State bad actors /Political leaders /DOJ/FBI /MSM and more, all in collusion to fool the American electorate. Would make a great movie!

Eye opening.

Very informative exposition into the effort to remove the 45th president of America. It shall be intetesting to follow how the investigations behind this book will play out in the near future. My bet is that some one is going to prison.

Courage and dogged persistence

Amazing, shocking details of an attempted coup of the president. I found myself in disbelief that this is MY government at work. My taxpayer dollars being wasted for personal benefit. I found this story encouraging to trust in what you believe and pursue it despite OBSTACLES put in my way. Recommend for it shocking detail, and, dogged persistence from naive to disbelief to comprehension of what is actually going on.

Excellent

Truly great in depth explanation of what happened with the FBI and DOJ investigation of Trump, Wow!

Everyone should read this book.

This is the biggest scandal in the history of our country and so many people who only listen to the main stream media are completely in the dark about what really has happened. The details and sources are well documented. I found listening to it a good way to cover this mass of information. The narrator was excellent.

Thank you Lee Smith

Excellent recap of how corrupt the institutions we all one revered: the press, FBI, State Department, etal conspired against a duly elected president. History and hopefully the Justice Department will condemn the paper coup.

Where are the honest, good, main stream media???

This book is very eye-opening, thank goodness for the diligence of a good congressman and his team. My question is, where is the press and media that is supposed to inform me of corruption. Thankfully we still have honorable people doing their job.

What we should have heard from the news

Books reads like a front page story. Great job giving the true in a ball of corruption.
