Obsession

By: Byron York

Narrated by: Chris Abell

From the moment Donald Trump was elected president - even before he was inaugurated - Democrats called for his impeachment. That call, starting on the margins of the party and the press, steadily grew until it became a deafening media and Democratic obsession. It culminated first in the Mueller report - which failed to find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing on the part of the president - and then in a failed impeachment.

And yet, even now, the Democrats and their media allies insist that President Trump must be guilty of something.

They still accuse him of being a Russian stooge and an obstructer of justice. They claim he was “not exonerated” by the Mueller report.

But the truth, as veteran reporter Byron York makes clear - using his unequaled access to sources inside Congress and the White House - is that Democrats and the media were gripped by an anti-Trump hysteria that blinded them to reality.

In a fast-moving story of real-life Washington intrigue, York reveals:

• Why Donald Trump - at first - resisted advice to fire FBI director James Comey
• The strategy behind the Trump defense team’s full cooperation with Mueller’s investigators - and how they felt betrayed by Mueller
• How the Mueller team knew very early in the investigation that there was no evidence of “Russian collusion”
• Why the Trump defense team began to suspect that Mueller was not really in charge of the special counsel investigation
• Why Nancy Pelosi gave up trying to restrain her impeachment-obsessed party
• Why Trump’s lawyers - certain of his innocence in the Mueller investigation - were even less worried about the Democrats' Ukraine investigation.

Byron York takes you inside the deliberations of the president’s defense counsel, interviews congressional Republicans who were shocked at the extremism of their Democratic colleagues - and resolute in opposing them - and draws an unforgettable portrait of an administration under siege from an implacable - and obsessed - opposition party.

great book

perfect summary of democrats obsession, dirty tactics to take down Trump. every American should read/listen to this book.

An Honest account of yhe War pon

Chris Abell is a great natrator, perfect for this book.
Very detailed account behind the curtain and the 4 years of insanity. Finally someone is telling the truth about the cordinated assault on President Trump. The circus and all the clowns so blinded by their hatred of our great President, all they cared about was removing him from office. If your a Trump supporter or a seeker of truth, read this book. If you dont like Trump read this book anyways, just don't forget your tissues.

Informative and Interesting

Very much worth the listen. It’s an extremely listenable account of the back room dealings and goings on during Trumps first term. The dems trying everything imaginable to get rid of Trump. Having watched it all unfold in the media, this account ties it all together and now it makes so much more sense. As does the second impeachment effort, and the litigation leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Excellent book.

Russia Probe

York carries much detail in this book about the Russian probe. I learned quite a bit about the backdrop to this investigation. I found the narrator did an excellent job with this book

Excellent, accurate reporting

Not one unnamed source used. No editorial. Just the facts.

Well read, but often the voice lowers and slows in the middle of a sentence.
