The Most Important Political Book of the Year
It's sad to say that Seth Abramson, in all likelihood, knows more about DJT's corrupt business dealings and international entanglements than does Robert Mueller. While the scope of Mueller's investigation was tightly curtailed, and his testimony before congress even more tight-lipped, Abramson paints the big picture in sickening detail. This book should rattle you to the core.
Abramson is a humble citizen (with a stellar legal background and communication skills) who has answered the call of conscience and taken up the task of gathering reportage from around the world and assembling it into a cohesive and damning narrative. This task should have been accomplished by the House and Senate and Intelligence committees through hearings and reports, but they have failed us. While the FBI counterintelligence probe may include this same information and more, it will not be made public as long as this administration is in power--if ever. For the foreseeable future, "Proof of Conspiracy" is the most thorough account you will read about DJT's foreign policy and how it came to be.
Every member of congress should read "Proof of Collusion" and "Proof of Conspiracy." Alas, we know that many Republican congressmen didn't even read the Mueller Report. And the Speaker of the House (as of the writing of this review) has been unwilling to educate the public and hold this administration accountable using the constitutionally-provided remedy of impeachment hearings, despite continued criminal acts and self-enrichment by DJT and his cronies on a daily basis.
After nearly 3 years of this "crime spree masquerading as an administration" (in Andrea Chalupa's phrase), no one with power in Washington has defiantly declared "no more--this ends now." And so, it's left up to all of us in 2020. Thank you, Seth, for helping to inform the electorate.
