James B. Stewart – The Deep State: Trump, the FBI, and the Rule of Law
A lot has happened since he slid down the golden escalator. Four years of unprecedented turmoil in the White House, outrageous actions, impeachments, lawsuits, trials and convictions. The never-ending drama around Trump has resulted in what can only be described as social paralysis while the world waits for the next stage in this alarming saga. But in this time of dysfunction, collective amnesia seems to have become part of everyday life. To refresh our memories, we travel back in time to the summer of 2020 for a conversation with the author. James B. Stewart
There are questions the Mueller report did not or would not answer: What were the events that actually triggered the Russia investigation? Did President Trump’s interference lead to his incrimination? There is no mystery to Trump’s thinking. He claims that the Deep State, a cabal of career bureaucrats (among them Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok, previously little-known figures within the FBI whom he has relentlessly and publicly denounced), is only interested in protecting its own power and undermining the democratic process. Conversely, James Comey defends the FBI as incorruptible, apolitical, and a public servant working tirelessly to uphold the rule of law. Drawing on numerous interviews with key FBI, Justice Department, and White House officials, as well as extensive records, memos, and internal reports, best-selling author James B. Stewart scrutinizes these conflicting accounts for the first time, providing a clear picture of what really happened inside the FBI before the 2016 election. This is the dramatic story of the FBI's simultaneous investigation of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the first time in American history that the FBI was thrown into the middle of both parties' presidential campaigns. Stewart shows what really began when Trump fired Comey, appointed Robert Mueller as independent special counsel, and the FBI launched a formal investigation into the president himself. And he shows how this unprecedented event joined the ongoing battle between two key institutions of American democracy: the president and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. At stake in this epic battle is the very rule of law, the foundation of the U.S. Constitution. There is no room for compromise, but the collateral damage is great. The reputations of both sides have already been tarnished, perhaps irreparably, causing great damage to American democracy. Deep State goes beyond the limits of the legally constrained Mueller report to reveal how the president's obsession with conspiracy theories is still upending people's lives and shocking both the FBI and the Department of Justice. In this historic battle between Trump and the intelligence community, Stewart shows us, in rare style, what's real and what matters now.
