The Plot Against the President

The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History

De: Lee Smith

Narrado por: John Pruden

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."

Nunes is a national treasure.

You don’t have to be a supporter of Trump to understand just how corrupt the press and FBI are. In fact, you can hate him. But don’t turn your back on the truth.

Gripping, well-documented, stunning account!

This is an outstanding read. Lee Smith has put together a masterpiece of research, descriptive prose, and timely truth. I couldn’t recommend it more. It comes at a time when the roll out of the IG report and the Mueller Durham reports are immanent. Heads will roll, and this book pretty well tells us why. Great narrator as well. Devon Nunez is an American hero. This book showcases that fact. Well done! I highly recommend it!

A treatise on treason.

The words contained in this book gave me chills on numerous occasions. Having closely followed the Russian collusion hoax, this book delves into the shadows that we the people in the public sphere were unaware. I can understand why Hillary Clinton tried to block this book's release. The information is beyond scathing. It truly is amazing that some so-called Americans can do what they did to other Americans. To say it's a travesty, is an understatement of the millennia. What you hear in this book will shock you; it will piss you off. And if you have even an ounce of intelligence, and not care for our President Trump, you still ought to be enraged at how the bureaucratic establishment elites conduct themselves at taxpayer's expense, spending our money to feed their depraved egos, and for what? To be someone in a world scratching at notoriety. Devin Nunes needs to be applauded for be courageous enough to stand up to these wolves. It's time to bring these bad actors to justice.

Every American should read this book!

This book gives an accurate account of the attack on President Trump by the angry and corrupt Democrats and the liberal media. It's EYE OPENING! I just hope and pray that those responsible will be prosecuted and have to pay for their crimes!

Best of Russia hoax and Trump books

Author writes as an investigative journalist. It is clear when he is deducing or hypothesizing about factual data.
Narrator voice excellent. Pronunciations sometimes off. Mule-err vs Mull-er but otherwise not an issue.
excellent analysis regarding what is the swamp, the nature of the FBI's role and culture of coverup.
Sometimes paints Nunes as a super hero, but just a small measure of how amazing he is.
accurately states the press's willingness to be duped or actively decent be to support the narrative.
This is a book that avoids conjecture and hyperbole to make it's case.
clearly the best of the books regarding my Trump's first years of his first term.

Corrupt Government and US Intelligence

This book is awesome, Very easy to understand just how corrupt our government is and all the vile players in the Russian hoax Setup. Great background on all the stages of the farce. Narrator does a great job and the authors knowledge and research is fantastic.

The whole truth and nothing but the truth

This book should be introduced as exhibit A on the senate floor from front to back !!

Outstanding!!!

A clear telling of truth about Devin Nunez’s hard heroic work on this case. May God protect him.

Excellent book systematically outlining conspiracy
