  CHAPTER ONE

  Here’s My Open

  As we approach publication date, we are confronted yet again with a never-ending news cycle that seems to compete with the speed of light. No surprise, since Donald Trump himself is a nonstop, never-give-up, no-holds-barred human version of the speed of light. Even his terrific staff, many half his age, can barely keep up. Luckily for us, the Trump presidency has changed just about everything in record time. And thank God it has.

  For over two years, the presidency of the United States has been under siege. Our commander in chief has been subjected to unprecedented maligning by the mainstream media, high-level Obama administration officials, and disappointed, disgruntled, and deranged Democrats. He has been accused of being an agent of a foreign government, a Putin puppet, and a treasonous dictator, all because they despise the president we put in the Oval Office.

  The White House stands alone like an ancient walled city with barbarians storming the gates, looking to annihilate the man the American people put in that house in 2016. He was the outsider, beholden to no one, who promised to take back their government from the corrupt special interests who had stolen it from them in order to remake America into a borderless, multicultural, socialist wasteland they could then plunder and leave to rot.

  That corrupt establishment—“the Swamp,” as President Trump and his supporters call it—was not going to give up the Oval Office without a fight. They were determined to maintain their power regardless of any election results, regardless of the consent of the governed. They were not satisfied to fight honestly at the polls. If the people voted for change, they were going to nullify those results with phony investigations, all-out suppression of dissent, insurrection at our borders, and even violent “resistance.” Their goal was to destroy the administration of the duly elected forty-fifth president by any means possible, legal or illegal.

  The Mueller report exposed the Left’s plot to remake America. Donald Trump’s election interrupted the leftward, globalist course Barack Obama had set. It would have been full steam ahead under Hillary Clinton. So, they had to take Trump down if they were ever going to get back on course.

  As a result, we stood witness to the biggest scandal in American history, bar none: an attempted elimination of a presidential candidate and then coup against the duly elected president of the United States from within the government itself. They conned us, they gamed us, and they lied to us, over and over and over, for three years. They destroyed lives, reputations, and families. And, in the end, no one connected with Donald Trump or his campaign colluded, coordinated, or conspired with Russia. Not Donald Trump himself, not any member of the Trump family, not anyone on the campaign, not one American.

  For two years, prosecutors savagely strove to indict the president and everyone in his orbit. For two years, the mainstream media, the talking heads, the networks, and the lying, liberal Hollywood hypocrites all tried to convince you that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president. And after all of that—there turned out to be nothing to any of it, just as I’ve always said. No collusion, no obstruction, nothing.

  The president’s enemies didn’t care whose lives they destroyed. What mattered was that they destroy the outsider, the one we—the forgotten men and women of America—put in the White House. Businessman Donald J. Trump was that outsider who convinced us the status quo was a choice and he could do better. The perpetrators of this attempted coup were furious at the thought and chipped away with unending zeal, desperate for any connection, threatening families and witnesses and individuals’ civil liberties to obtain their corrupt goal of removing the president of the United States from office.

  The very people who scoff and laugh at the idea of a “Deep State” actually watched it shamelessly and repeatedly broadcast on prime-time television. These Swamp Scum were so arrogant they didn’t even try to hide what they were doing. They lied to your face and dared you to call them on it, from Cardinal James Comey, Clueless James Clapper, and Pond Scum John Brennan on down. It was the first time in American history that people with unbridled power tried to eliminate a presidential candidate and then, when that failed, planted the seeds for the indictment and impeachment of the now-elected president, destroying the will of the American people who voted for change.

  Where did this group get the confidence that this was okay? Who above them could possibly have given them the green light? It could only have come from the top, not just on the orders of the head of the CIA John Brennan, the head of the FBI James Comey, and the head of the Justice Department Loretta Lynch. Ultimately, at the very least, there had to be a wink and a n
od from the commander in chief, if not full-on involvement of Barack Obama.

  The unverified Steele dossier was the excuse and justification for this rogue intelligence operation. They used it as a basis to spy on an opposing candidate for the highest seat in the land. They knew it was a lie, they knew it was a political document—not an intelligence document—and they knew Hillary paid for it and yet this cabal of Trump-hating, Obama-loving sycophants followed their boss, doing everything they could to destroy Donald Trump’s chances to become president of the United States.

  The March 2019 Mueller report, delivered to Attorney General Bill Barr on March 22, was a turning point after two years of gut-wrenching, slanderous, hateful bile coming from the Left. They promised their teed-up special counsel investigation would deliver the goods after they themselves created the narrative of Donald Trump as an illegitimate president, who had no right to be sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But, like most of their baseless accusations, it backfired. The Russia collusion delusion was nothing more than an illusion straight from the Resistance movement that didn’t want a Trump presidency.

  So why did it take almost two years, with such a large staff, to figure out there was no “there” there (to use Peter Strzok’s infamous words)?1 In early 2018, reports suggested Mueller had already moved on from collusion to obstruction. Mueller outlines ten points he claims suggest obstruction, which came from a handful of witnesses. So, the question is, could this report have been issued before the 2018 midterms? Why did he wait another four months after that? Was Mueller stringing his investigation along, refusing to conclude it in order to help the Democrats who, in their dream of impeachment, needed to win the House? The answer to that last question tells us whether Mueller was a political operative or an objective special counsel. Maybe we’ll get an answer when Mueller is scheduled to appear before Congress in mid-July.

  After all that time investigating and prosecuting people like Paul Manafort who received what amounted to a life sentence for crimes unrelated to his investigation, Mueller couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t get anything on Donald Trump.

  Maybe, Bob, there was nothing to get. Maybe the fact that you couldn’t even get people to lie to save their own hides should tell you they couldn’t even figure out a way to implicate him. You tried everything you could in your bag of dirty tricks to get Trump and you came up with nothing, nada, zip.

  The more we heard about warrants based on unverified political documents paid for by Trump’s opponent, the more it became apparent that there was no collusion and no obstruction, since, by the way, there was no crime to obstruct. No one looked at the corruption that led to the framing of a president. How and why did a counterintelligence investigation even begin? Mueller wasn’t interested in investigating that.

  So, the special counsel comes out with its thirty-four indictments and a final report. None of the indictments involved Donald Trump, his family, the Trump campaign, or any American, for that matter, colluding with Russia. There was full cooperation by the White House, which never claimed executive privilege and handed over more than one million documents. Too many people in the Trump orbit were destroyed politically, financially, and emotionally for no reason by the Hillary-loving and Trump-hating attorneys and investigators. Team Mueller took down people with process crimes having nothing to do with Russia.

  If after two years, 19 prosecutors, 40 investigators, more than 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, several grand juries, and $34 million spent there was not a scintilla of evidence to the collusion claim, whose idea was it to start the investigation and why?

  We still don’t know with certainty the exact date the FBI’s Peter Strzok began the counterintelligence investigation. There was a lot of dancing by Strzok when he was forced to testify before Congress. The generally stated date is July 31, 2016, but when asked for specifics of the genesis of his investigation, Strzok demurred, saying he didn’t have clearance to discuss it. Then, when the FBI said that same day—during the same hearing—that there was no prohibition and gave him permission to answer, Strzok pivoted, shockingly, with an arrogant smirk on his face, and said he had no recollection.

  To determine whether there was even a legitimate purpose behind it, the investigators need to be investigated. That includes James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, John Brennan, James Clapper, Samantha Power, Loretta Lynch, and the rest of the conspirators I talked about in my last book, Liars, Leakers, and Liberals.

  Just a week before the Mueller report was released, former CIA director and Pond Scum John Brennan—who himself accused the president of treasonous behavior, a crime punishable by death—was on television saying there were pending indictments to be released imminently, even one against the president’s own son.2 It never happened.

  Mueller and his nineteen lawyers, invested financially, philosophically, and ideologically in the Hate Donald Trump Movement, would have done anything they could to legally and politically deep-six Donald Trump, but they didn’t have the goods, pure and simple. In the interim, along this tortuous two-year path of meritless accusations, our nation was fractured and in chaos. Mueller’s investigation provided cover for a tsunami of lies and obfuscations from CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the mainstream media. Even Nobel laureate Paul Krugman said in November 2017, “There’s really no question about Trump/Putin collusion, and Trump in fact continues to act like Putin’s puppet.”3 A year earlier, he had predicted the stock market would never recover from Donald Trump’s election,4 earning him first place in the president’s hilarious “Fake News Awards.”

  What happened to him? If Krugman wasn’t allowing politics to corrupt his intellect, then what the hell were they smoking over there at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences when they made him a laureate in Economic Sciences?

  All the while, President Trump remained focused and determined to execute the mission to which he was elected. Have you ever seen a man face an onslaught of incoming like this, day in and day out and still forge ahead on America’s behalf—our behalf—to make the economy stronger and the country safer?

  For most of this ordeal, the president was surrounded by wimps like former attorney general Jeff Sessions, who hid under his desk. Contrast him with Barack Obama’s attorney general Eric Holder, who was held in contempt of Congress in 2012 for withholding documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal.5 You didn’t see Holder recusing himself from anything. Barack loved his loyal, protective “wingman.”

  They even criticized the president’s anger regarding these allegations. Of course he was furious. He was an innocent man! They took away his ability to enjoy a single moment of his presidency or do his job without someone accusing him of being an illegitimate president, a fascist, a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe, or a Russian asset. No one deserves that. And despite their allegations blowing up in their faces, the Left continues to relitigate the very issue that Mueller shut down. We can only hope their transparent hatred for our president and our country is punished by clear-thinking Americans at the polls in 2020.

  I’m not going to dwell on the fact that the real collusion with Russia was perpetrated by the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics, Bill and Hillary Clinton, who sold 20 percent of America’s uranium to a Russian company and pocketed $145 million through their trusty charity.6 And of course Bill was paid $500,000 for a quick speech in Russia to a Kremlin-connected company shortly thereafter.

  As for the Russians meddling in our election, everyone agrees that not one vote was affected. The Russians bought a few Facebook ads to try to influence Americans, which amounted to bubkes. Even Barack Obama said there was no way the 2016 election could be rigged by Russia.7

  But the Left is not going to stand for the truth.

  They continue to complain. They don’t like the report and want to see all the redactions in this 448-page document, although such redactions are required by law.8 And when given the opportunity to see the report in a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facili
ty), no Democrat bothered to do so. I guess they don’t want the truth because they “can’t handle the truth.”

  And their new public enemy number two is Attorney General William Barr. His summary of that 448-page report is not enough. The fact that the entire Mueller report is published is not enough. The Resistance will read, reread, and reinterpret every word to try to bring down the president.

  Volume two of the 448-page Mueller report examines the obstruction of justice issue, and Mueller curiously refused to take a position on whether the president committed this crime. If there wasn’t enough evidence to bring a charge that should have been the end of it. But no. In a show of political whoremanship, Mueller left crumbs for his fellow travelers in Congress. He added the statement that he couldn’t exonerate Trump to give the Democrats something to work with. Now, we’re about to get eighteen more months of this.

  Mueller slamming the president on his way out was meant to satisfy his unsatisfied client, the Democrats. I’ve empaneled and presented to many grand juries. You don’t come out and say, “I didn’t indict him, but I couldn’t exonerate him either.” I’ve never seen that. If, as a prosecutor, you don’t have evidence to indict you keep your mouth shut.

  Shame on Robert Mueller. He could have made a decision on that, just as he did on collusion. But he had to give something to the Democrat House.

  Little Adam Schiff, now chair of the House Intel Committee since the Democrats won the House in the midterm elections, should be hiding under a rock after all the doozies he came out with during the Mueller investigation. Instead, Mueller, with his nondecision on obstruction, has given him a chance to shamelessly continue his Hate Donald Trump Campaign. He just won’t end it. He and many on the Left are not interested in doing the people’s work. They are solely interested in getting Donald Trump out of the way, the people and their work be damned.

  All nine Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee signed a letter asking Schiff to resign as chairman.9 But for Mueller’s safety-valve obstruction statement, he’d have no other choice.
