Publisher's summary

From veteran award-winning investigative journalists Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman, the epic inside story of the prosecution of a president.

In Find Me the Votes, two years of immersive reporting by Isikoff and Klaidman has produced the most authoritative and dramatic account yet of a defeated president’s conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and how a local Georgia prosecutor—a daughter of the civil rights movement—decided to indict him and his allies for his desperate attempt to hold on to power. From the beginning, Fani Willis saw Donald Trump’s crimes as a voting rights case, and an attempt by the former president to deprive the citizens of Georgia of the franchise, a right for which her forebears had bled.

Isikoff and Klaidman take us deep inside both the nerve center of Trump’s effort to steal the election and the DA’s team of prosecutors as they build their case against the president. Their reporting reveals new information on the plot to criminally seize voting equipment in several states; Sidney Powell’s attempt to obtain preemptive pardons from Trump; and revelatory communications between the president and his co-conspirators. We see the prosecution take shape in Willis’s office in the face of heinous threats of violent retaliation from Trump’s supporters.

With blockbuster original reporting and exclusive access to thousands of secret documents, emails, text messages, and audio recordings, Find Me the Votes is investigative journalism at its finest. The authors also conducted exclusive interviews with key sources in the Trump conspiracy, as well as with the president’s top targets, including Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger and the Fulton County DA’s team–featuring hours of interviews with Fani Willis herself. This is riveting contemporary history, and a lasting account of the prosecution of a president who tested the rule of law as no president ever had before. Isikoff and Klaidman have written a story for the ages.

Conspiracy to overturn election planned well before voting began.

The book could or should become a movie. It has a fascinating plot that is frighteningly close to being successful. It has well developed characters. Finally, it answered lots of questions that many of us who follow politics closely had not been answered like why is all of this taken so long and will Trump ever be brought to trial.

He probably will unless he has a stroke or heart attack that ends his life. But, at least, he has been successfully indicted by both a special grand jury and criminal grand jury which could bring the actual charges. So even a criminal president or past president is not above the law.

The detail and the way the story was told

I loved it all. Enjoyed the quotes. I learned a lot! Thank you for writing the book!

Detailed

I enjoyed this book because it lasted out the details and explained background. Better than hearing this info on the news in bits and pieces.

A must read for every American!

This account of the events l leading up the this moment are something every one needs to know done in their bones! Outstanding work of investigative journalism that makes this country unique.

How many lives has DJT ruined with false accusations and ignorant lies that militant, batshit crazy, right wing, gun toting radicals actually believe?!? I was going to compile a list here just to prove the point but those unfortunate souls have suffered enough at the hands of the repulsive 45 president. They don’t deserve my adding to it. Never in my life could I have imagined writing such a statement! God bless Ms Willis, Jack Smith, Mr Bragg and Ms James for their outstanding service!

My only complaint is hI just wish the authors understood how vital it is to read their own work. The public is or should be aware of them from appearances on shows promoting their work and the narration, in my opinion suffers from the lack of their authentic voice.

Connecting the dots!

I thank the authors for connecting the dots in the most complex case facing our country. I thank Ms Willis for having the cajones to take these conspirators to trial. You go girl!!!

The timelines

I love where this story starts and end. It didn’t try to crowd the facts because there are a lot of facts in this case that was never mentioned.

This gives me hope

Fanni Willis is a truly amazing woman! I am hopeful the scrutiny she is undergoing will burnish her reputation and make her detractors look foolish

great book

detailed. I hope they keep the books coming as new info is uncovered!! great resources

Thus book is for you, Donnie

Wow... such clear evidence against the grifter in chief and orange outlaw. DA Fani Willis is doing the best she can to wrangle all of these RICO bandits into the sentences they deserve. Great Book!

FANTASTIC BOOK!!!!!

A MUST read. I live in Atlanta and because I am a news and political junkie, I thought I had a good solid grasp of what has happened here. I bought this book this morning as soon as it was released. Although I am only half way through it, I needed to review it and say this book is helping me to understand even more about the evil, hateful chaos that was and is taking place here.
The background information on the events and people involved has reinforced my respect and appreciation for the resilience and bravery of both Fani Willis and Brad Raffensperger. May God bless you and your families.
Thank you to the authors for a brilliant job.
