Excerpts from “The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History” (Center Street, Hachette Book Group, Oct. 29, 2019) a 368-page book being published Tuesday by journalist Lee Smith.
The Democrats’ push to impeach President Trump began long before the whistleblower’s complaint regarding the president’s July phone call. The origins of the effort to undo the 2016 election date back to former FBI Director James Comey’s March 20, 2017, testimony in front of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
“We’d been hearing since the election about Trump and Russia,” says Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the intelligence committee. “It’s everywhere in the press. I wanted to get his testimony because I wanted to do as much in public as possible to force them to say they didn’t have anything. I thought Comey would be a calming influence. I thought he would answer questions and say, ‘OK, we’re interviewing a few people, but this is not about the president.’”
But because the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, had nothing on Mr. Trump and because of the emerging evidence of their own wrongdoings, Mr. Comey had to stay on offense.
“The March 20 hearing was to give the FBI a chance to come clean,” says Mr. Nunes. “‘OK, what do you have? You got nothing, and we know it because you never showed it to us.’ We were calling his bluff,” says Mr. Nunes. “And Comey doubled down.”

I have a lot of respect for Nunes.
So do I. It is always a good Hannity show when he is on with Sara Carter, another one of my favorites.
This is a book I’m looking forward to reading.
O/T - Did you hear that Page was banging both McCabe and Strozk???
Wow - this is clearly Conspiracy. Not sure about Mueller - he may have just been a useful idiot or playing dumb there at the end when it came to testify before Congress. But Comey, McCabe, Strozk and Rosenstein — off with their heads.
She was seen and was followed and
their meeting was seen and recorded.
The next page of the novella?
Former Special Forces operator MacAtee cut off the recording device. Slowly and quietly he made his way out of the park. He had to get back and deliver his report.
And that the Hilldabeast & the DNC was financing it?
This is the elephant in the room that the msm would not see/report.
Many in the msm should go down as conspirators in the Coup.
And that’s just who we’ve been told about. She was doin’ the whole team like a sophomore cheerleader at the regional finals.
Maybe but the source is Truepundit which is like no source at all.
This is the book that Rush was talking about that he had an early copy. He said Lee Smith details the criminal acts of the attempted coup by the Deep State.
In a different era,this POS would be hung.
The clown Comey says he plans to move to New Zealand; I guess he means after the DOJ releases him, perhaps he can be buried there.
Good anti trump background overview bump
Nice anagram.
