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.
Devin Nunes took on the deep state..
The Congressman from the cattle capital of California really did fight corruption in Washington.
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 reads like a great detective novel, feels like a classic cowboy movie.
Without Nunes and his team, the Plot Against the president -- and Against the country -- never would have been revealed.
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.
They understood that the target of the operation wasn\'t just Trump, but rather the institutions that sustain our republic.
The Plot was Uncovered by Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and his investigative team.
The conspirators included Political operatives, law enforcement and intelligence officials, and the press.
In fact, it was an operation to sabotage Trump, the candidate, then president-elect, and finally the presidency.
But the bureau never followed any Russians.
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.
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.
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.
