The Story Of How U.S. Intel Agencies Tried To Undo Trump's Election

Lee Smith's new book, The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History, lays out a compelling case of abuse against the United States' major intelligence agencies.

In great detail, he explains how the FBI and the Department of Justice not only abused their power in going after Donald Trump, his campaign, and later his administration, but how they sought to cover it up.

As chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Nunes was in a unique position to push against the media and Democrats' obsession with discrediting Trump and the 2016 election results.

Rumors about Trump and his campaign team's interactions with Russia began circling early in the 2016 election.

Chapter 7, "The Insurance Policy," recounts, how top FBI official McCabe, FBI lead investigator Peter Strzok, as well as FBI lawyer and Strzok mistress Lisa Page, ran the investigation into then presidential candidate Trump.

Tensions only grew when in April 2018 Nunes' team asked the FBI and DOJ how many informants had been used against the Trump campaign.

In short, Halper had his hands in almost every aspect of the Russia investigation and his role demonstrates how far the FBI went in trying to find something, anything, on Trump.
