The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Russia Hoax picks up where that book ended with this hard-hitting, well-reasoned examination of the latest findings about “collusion” between the Trump Administration and the Russians, offering further proof that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is nothing more than a politically motivated witch hunt.

Jarrett tells the story of how a small group of people from the intelligence community created the greatest political delusion in American political history. Jarrett drops names and includes significantly much more information than he did in his previous book The Russia Hoax. The second chapter is really telling on how hard the FBI and CIA tried to gather intelligence on President Trump when no crime was committed. Solid read and I liked the addition of the timeline at the end.

Jarrett is masterful. And he has the background and has existed in these very spaces himself with experience to report the facts and the sequences. With all the players, and there ARE names you have seldom heard besides the ones you have heard for 3 plus years. And they are not "the alternative facts" either. But documented facts of time periods and cause/effect conversations to actions.

It's wordy as a law case following court notation or testimony. More so. It's not to be read lightly, as the

A critically important book. Historic. The deep state exists. Visceral hatred. Stark dishonesty of people in power is a threat to our country. They and the Clinton's are a cancer on our democracy. Thank you Gregg Jarrett for writing this revealing book

4.25-stars

I voted in my first election in 1992 and every election since. Not once, ever, anywhere, anytime, have I voted for a Republican. Not for POTUS, not for congress, not for local dog catcher, not for a damned thing. But you can bet I will be voting for Trump in 2020. Why? Because I finally realized recently the extent to which I had been misled by the Democrats for all these years.

And when they stood up and raised their hands before the American people and proved to me they care more for

This book is a farce. Written, using alternative facts, makes it fiction, but mostly delusional. Trump does most everything in plain sight, but has much to hide, which will all come out in the end. Gregg Jarrett, and those of his ilk will, no doubt, continue to believe it's all been a "witch hunt" regardless of hard facts. It's not over yet... ...more

Jarrett confirms the thesis he proposed in his first book, Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump. The case against President Trump is the biggest scam in American history.

I now have a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING as to what REALLY happened! This is not so much a political narrative but a fact based narrative by one of the country's leading constitutional scholars. Mr. Jarrett states only factual and not subjective view. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Thank you, Mr. Jarrett

After reading the Russia Hoax, I had to read Witch Hunt. I pre-ordered it and waited impatiently through all the publishing delays. It was worth the wait. When our children are taught about this attempted coup the teacher will do well to use this book as the primer of the course.
The story continues to unfold and we can see it in real time if we bypass the corrupt mainstream media and look to alternate news sources (RT, Fox and the Rebel). I eagerly await the third installment of this chronicle t

I tried. Really I tried to find something that I could like about this book. I preferred the presentation from every other book on the same topic. Great concept, but not presented well in audiobook format. There are lessons I have learned (not in this book, but I see them validated): 1 if the facts are on your side; argue the facts. 2 If the law is on your side; argue the law. 3 If neither of those are on your side then attack the person. 4 When in doubt, fix blame quickly.

This is a well researched and detailed book that sheds light on the shenanigans of the Trump Haters on the left and on the right. It's appalling to me that given this president's track record on economy, rights, security, and all other things that the haters would not give him a break. I did not like Obama, at all but there were few things I gave him credit for. The bias against this POTUS, ironically by a group that spends their entire existence pointing out biases on others from implied racism ...more

Talk about dumbed down. I didn't make it though the 1st chapter. It sounded like it had been written by writers for the Sean Hannity show. Talk about propaganda, this sounds more like something coming out of PRNK or China. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your money or your time on this. ...more

Stunning! Sadly, most of this would have been unnecessary had a "fair" press been even mildly on the ball throughout these last three and a half years. Today I read a reasoned argument that, under some reasonable conditions related to the current Democrat crop, this election cycle could see the US transitioning to a three-party nation soon, and the Deep State minions will have themselves to blame - but then they will find a new way to burrow further into the power structure. Jarrett's narrative, ...more

Broke every law and still walking free!

The American people are being lie to. Mr. Jarrett book is a real page turner. One law broken after another,and the law breakers after 2+ years are still walking free and trying to pass they hate for the truth. This book cut to the point. If this wasn't treason it the closest thing to it. Just want to thank Me Jarrett for writing the truth and showing the American People truth behind the fake news headline.

This a must read. It breaks down backed up with results of investigations by reporting from reporters not beholden to the main stream media. If you are interested in the other side of these questions this is a book to read. Very informative!

Gregg Jarrett picks up where he left off form 'The Russia Hoax'. Armed with new information this book is loaded with facts that even avid followers of this event will be amazed to read.For instance, I learned that the very day that James Comey stood before the cameras to tell the nation that Hillary Clinton was only guilty of a minor infraction and not gross negligence, so she could continue to run for the Presidency, that across the ocean a meeting was being held to begin the distribution of th ...more

Well done, Gregg Jarrett! This was an awesome book. I read the Mueller Report, skimmed through the IG Report, as well as various other documents. This book ties them all together along the timeline given. Highlights of the lies told and the basis of the narrative of blatant falsehoods. This is a MUST READ BOOK!

Excellent step-by-step explanation of the democratic attack upon the presidency of the US. Names, legal statutes, dates, falsehoods, intimidation, and corruption centered mostly in the FBI, the DOJ and national intelligence agencies are all documented. It is shuttering to read about the level of distortion of the constitution and the protection it provides in our democracy, all for the purpose of gaining power. This is not something most people think would ever happen in America but it has and i ...more

Gregg Jarrett’s Witch Hunt presents a thorough compilation of the complicated plot to destroy the 45th president of the United States. Jarrett, who is not only an experienced attorney but also a long-time media analyst, carefully documents the many attempts by media and anti-Trumpers to destroy the president. Jarrett carefully footnotes his sources, so readers can refer to other experts. The book is a treasure for anyone who wants to inform themselves.

Excellent followup to The Russia Hoax. This book is packed with incredible information and in fact against the FBI, Mueller team, et al. Any criminal convictions obtained related to the phony investigation of Trump will result in further draining of the swamp, the removal of swamp rats

This book should be made into a documentary. The author does what most in the media would not do. Investigate the claims of the "Russia Collusion" story. This being his 2nd book on the matter.

I was literally dumbfounded by the majority of the American media who would merely repeat talking points fed to them (like Soviet run media) for 3 years rather than investigate or verify claims presented to them. All the tools were there to do so, easy to use and find, but the media completely ignored them

Jarrett says Jeff Sessions should never have recused himself from the Mueller investigation, that neither the law nor the facts required him to do so. It was an investigation at that point and not a criminal case. The reason he took office without recusing himself is because he didn’t know at that point that he was a subject in the investigation. He took office not knowing all the facts, and didn’t find out until weeks later that he was both a subject and a witness. Trump wanted him to take char ...more

Very insightful

Being skeptical of conspiracy stories and their many questionable defenses, I was resistant to reading Witch Hunt. Although a Trump supporter, I was also trying to stay removed from the pro-Trump dialogue because of the seeming cult-like obsessiveness that characterized much of the discussion in my small circle. However, Jarret’s book was refreshingly well researched, and citations provided the credibility I needed to stay engaged. When those involved in the “Witch Hunt” (the med

Not the whole store

As good as far as it goes, but it stops before it concludes with the real smoking gun - locking up Hillary, John Podesta & the rest of the Dems, paving the way for the Dems with the real smoking gun - the subsequent win for the grand old Democratic man. More dems in the White House & a woman of color as VP. Much has been left out of the story & so have the people!

Jarrett does a remarkable job of documenting his work and gives a very detailed timeline of the occurrances of Special Council Mueller's investigation of the possible collusion with Russia of the Trump campaign. Jarrett articulates that this entire process was a hoax and a deliberate attempt by the Democrats and "the Deep State" government to destroy President Trump.
