Congressman Devin Nunes played an essential role in exposing surveillance abuse against the Trump campaign coming from the FBI and DOJ. Several people are interviewed in this book, including Devin Nunes himself. For those unfamiliar with the author, he is a journalist at RealClearPolitics whose reporting galvanized members of Congress into looking into the surveillance abuse and origins of the Russia investigation.

This is another book in the throng of books I have read regarding this President and those around him trying to bring him down. I am not a Republican but I have witnessed this country improve substantially. I have also seen the media and the left doing everything and anything to discredit him and his family. Take for instance his wife. She is arguably the most beautiful First Lady we have ever had; for God's sake she is truly and literally a Super Model. Yet you go through the grocery store and

I’m a political junkie. It started as I watched Obama began to unravel the fabric of our country. It reached a climax the night of the Benghazi atrocity.
I watch and read news fanatically. I learn from all sorts of sources. I listen respectfully with those who have opposing views (as long as they share those views respectfully.) Many of my friends write to me on social media to say they look to me to learn what is happening each day in Washington D. C.

Finish this book and lose at least 10 IQ points. Anyone short on conspiracy theories will find an abundance here. I picked up this book to gain its perspective and put it down when I encountered nothing but lies easily disproved.
Are you looking for an objective look into the Trump/Russia/FBI/DNC/Clinton politics of 2016-2017? Look elsewhere because you will not find it here.
In “The Plot Against the President” by Lee Smith we have a partisan look at a current political news story from its genesis up until shortly after the release of the “Nunes Memo” (which Nunes says should really be the “Gowdy Memo” since Trey Gowdy wrote most of it).

Wow. No matter what side of the fence you sit or if you sit on it, this should disturb you.
If you are skeptical about the Deep State, if you think the Swamp is just political spin, if you think the Press isn’t putting out fake news for political gain, if you don’t believe that the FBI, DOJ, and IC are not riddled with corruption, then you need to read this book for a shocking look at reality.
Extremely well researched and documented to make the case that the plot against the president was orchestrated by the deep state. The information was so abundant that it overwhelmed me as a reader. As a result of this research it would be difficult to trust the news media in the future.
A True Detective Stoty
This behind -the-scenes story about how Devin Nunes assembled and led a team that unraveled the "paper coup" to oust President Trump after they failed to keep him from being elected, reads like a fast-paced spy/detective novel. You get to know the character and personalities of the investigators and the investigated, but, unfortunately, you also learn of the rats nest of conspiracy and conspirators that are euphemistically called the "deep state."

Well written and researched book. Scary that rogues were able to lead a country down a path like this...
I feel like I’ve just read a 334 page Scorsese screenplay, only this is for real.
This book is a must read for anyone who cares about truth and integrity. It summarizes the findings of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intel’s investigation into our government’s own actions to destroy a presidential candidate, then a president, and everyone around him.

An amazing read
An amazing read. Thank God for Devin Nunes and Project Medusa. it is disturbing the evil and treachery committed by the deep state.

If one thinks there is a “Deep State” this book confirms it. If one does not they should read the book and attempt to refute it. Devan Nunes is a true patriot.
I did not enjoy reading this book nor did I think it factual.
Really nothing more I can say except I would not recommend it

Lee Smith has hit a grandslam. The Deep State is fully exposed for what it is. Career bureaucrats are described in great detail.
Lee rounds up the usual suspects; Comey, McCabe, Peter Strock, Lisa Page, Bruce and Nellie Orr, Robert Mueller, Adam Schiff, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and most importantly Hillary Clinton. Their corruption and malfeasance is just staggering!
I thank God for Congressman Devin Nunes and his Objective Medusa team.

It’s a very one-sided (Republican) point of view pointing at democratic party members (in connection with the media) who have been attempting to show that Trump is colluding with the Russians. While Democratic Party members deny allegations against them for planting this false information against the president, additionally, there doesn’t seem to be any real evidence that Trump is actually colluding with the Russians (only false claims).

The plot against the president will go down in history as the sharpest turning point in US government since the Civil War. The victors will write the historical version, but this book will be a major resource of the facts unfolding.

Great book detailing the conspiracy to enact a coup against President Trump and the hard work of Devin Nunes to expose and combat it
Excellent accounting of the deep state conspiring to over throw a legitimately elected president. Must read for all Americans.
Thank you to the brave patriots who have exposed the scheme through their tireless and brilliant efforts. It offers some hope that justice is still possible.

Excellent book by Lee Smith. It almost seems like a fictional spy novel it is so good and keeps you hooked. Sadly it shows the abuse of power that you expect to see in a third world banana republic.

I would give no stars if I could. This book is a master class in misdirection and passing opinion as fact, asserting the conclusion, ignoring big ideas, excluding retirement evidence, etc. Completely uncritical of its sources and designed to look authoritative as a book while a five page printout of claims would do better justice.
Excellent read!
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand the behind the scenes coup the Democrats were planning. Very well written. I’ve always admired Dennis Nunes but didn’t understand what he and his family went through. What a dedicated American!

Riveting and revealing. Uncovers a lot that we didn't know is going on in institutions we have trusted in the past. The prospect of correcting the corruption and mishandling of intelligence information is still unknown. This book is a good sequel to McCarthy's book, Ball of Collusion.

An eye opener. Though it contains editorializing, the recitation of detailed facts provides an objective criteria for the reader to evaluate the events encompassing the Trump investigation and the actions of those who initiated it, authorized it, pursued it, and benefited from it.
Excellently researched, and clearly written. Good, solid read.
This is a great book. It explains the whole third world country coup that happened to us thanks to people like Brennan, Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Clapper, etc. Devin Nunes—you are a rock star!
Great Book and Enlightening
Easy read and well written. The documentation is overwhelming and everyone needs to read this book. We need to fight and stand by the rule of law.

“The sociology of Washington, on the other hand, is not only more political but also more gullible, more cynical. It’s a city of half a million student council presidents, ready to adopt any opinion that advances their careers.”

“Blackburn’s previous research focused on Islamist terror groups, putting him in touch with senior leaders of global intelligence agencies. He became interested in the Papadopoulos case when he noticed that the photographs of Mifsud he found online were of the former Maltese diplomat posing with Western political, diplomatic, and intelligence figures. Why wouldn’t a trained intelligence officer like Strzok find the same? “Maybe the FBI doesn’t know how to use Google,” says Blackburn, laughing huskily.”
