On January 6, 2021, insurgents stormed the U.S. Capitol, an act of domestic terror without parallel in American history, designed to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. In a resolution six months later, the House of Representatives called it "one of the darkest days of our democracy," and established a special committee to investigate how and why the attack happened. Celadon Books, in collaboration with The New Yorker, presents the committee's final report, the definitive account of January 6th and what led up to it.

That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor—The Next Trump. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past.

Donald Trump v.

Michael S. Schmidt takes listeners inside the defining events of the presidency, chronicles them up close, and records the clash between an increasingly emboldened president and those around him, who find themselves trying to thwart the president they had pledged to serve, unsure whether he is acting in the interest of the country, his ego, his family business, or Russia.

The book also explores the moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for a man they considered unfit for office, and where they drew their lines.

Crimes Committed; We Do Not Have the Reasons Why
The Mueller Report, By: The Washington Post. First, this is not an easy read for a layman. It is steeped in legal analysis. (But as I am an attorney it was the usual every day reading. Well, let me correct that; most of the paperwork one reads in litigation is junk product. The Mueller analysis was an expert display of legal reasoning.) So not an everyday interesting read; but a rational statement of what was happening in the Russian interference in our choosing of our president and other officers of state in 2016. That was Volume I. It next goes on to discuss interference with the investigation by the president, Donald J. Trump. That would be Volume II.
President Trump was exonerated from being complicit with or if you rather conspiring directly with the Russians in their support for his being elected to the presidency. Yet, the now President and his entourage were complicit in that although they did not coordinate they accepted the fact that a nation and its leadership that means no good to our freedoms and way of life, a nation who would like to make us into an oligarchy, were allowed to roam free in their disruption of our political freedom and this man who alleges to be a patriot, President Trump was pleased with that fact.
The more interesting part of the report was Vol. II, on obstruction of justice, i.e. obstruction of the Mueller investigation and its incidental prosecutions. The president, per the information reported, committed criminal acts for the singular purpose of hiding a true understanding of his past acts. He interfered, and one must ask the question why. Mueller does not tell us that. Only that the President committed crimes.
What I get from the read is that the Congress must continue and find out more about Trump’s past and present. He has committed crimes, but do we know all the crimes. Not yet.
By the way. Read the report. Hearing the report was not satisfactory. Also, buy the free copy, the Washington Post version provided nothing essential for the extra cost.

Illuminating
I appreciate the introduction and conclusion the Washington Post provided. They were brief and consistent with their reporting. However, the focal point or “star” was the Report itself. Especially, the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 Election. Their fear of a Clinton Presidency is palpable.
Trumps efforts to obstruct the investigation show his obsession with the probe and the question of the legitimacy of his Presidency. The biggest take away is his sole desire to do business in Russia for his personal benefit. He seems more concerned with his self aggrandizement, and pursuing business opportunities in Russia than he is in the dignity of the office that he holds. Had he trusted the legal system, he would never have faced the issue of obstruction he faces today.

Volume One And Two
The WP did an excellent job presenting two redacted volumes along with a PDF of The Mueller Report to the American People from the AG's bondage-like grip. The audible version of volume one is complete as well as astonishing. The Russian's craftwork assisting Trump to win the highest office in the land is mind-blowing. I can't understand why he wasn't charged with Conspiracy. Trump worked with Russia who worked with Wikileaks to commit what appears to be Espionage in our Presidential Election, Period.
This is Treason in the War of Social Media.
I can only assume social media and/or twitter, combined with certain individual's bad behavior aren't in the statutes; as of yet. . .
Volume Two is so well laid out, any lay-person can understand it. Pres. Trump's Obstruction of Justice, combined with nexus to a proceeding and corrupt intent makes him impeachable. According to The Constitution as well as U.S.C. Penal Law.
An inability to impeach this president would be a form of blasphemy. No matter what political side you traverse, he must be held accountable for his illicit behavior. No one is Above the Law, not even this Pres. within the hallow walls of Capitol Hill. . .
Our Founding Fathers wrote The Constitution and their intuitive mind's predicted a moment like this. . .

Inciteful and insightful
Read all the way through reading the text with the Audible accompaniment. The reading was very deliberate at the 1x speed. It allowed one to soak the message in, but upping the reading speed on a second read would be recommended. The Report is clearly written but there is a lot of legal discussion and analysis, especially in Volume II, discussing the President’s obstruction of justice.

I Don't Get It, Like WTF
I mean, ferfuxsake, Russia has its hands ALL OVER the US elections in 2015/2016 and MULTIPLE contacts with Trump team and this is listed as not being treasonous?
I just don't get it, at all.
Dozens of Russian assets are in near-constant contact with the Trump campaign, saying over and over that the Russian government 'loved what they heard' from DJT and that they were committed to 'helping' his election.
This is not considered conspiracy and treason in the United States?
I cannot fathom how these people are not all nailed to the wall for selling out the USA to Russia.

Collusion: Yes, Obstruction: For Sure
This excellent historical account of Russian interference in the Presidential election of 2016, the connections between the Trump campaign and Russia and the criminal behavior and collusion of the President of the United States and his election team is a thorough, fact filled narrative with clear connections to legal principles and statutes. The first part details the successful efforts of the government of Russia to infiltrate social media, assist the Trump campaign, disparage Hillary Clinton and hack the election computers of 21 states and an election computer vendor. What is the President doing about that? Nothing. Bipartisan legislation was introduced two years ago to assist states and the Federal government in coordinating efforts to prevent Russia from repeating its criminal behavior in future elections. Mitch McConnell will not let it come to a vote in the Senate because President Trump will not sign the bill.
While the President and the Republican National Committee falsely tout “no collusion,” the Mueller report details significant contacts between the campaign and Russia. Many facts are included in detail in the Flynn, Manafort, Gates and Cohen convictions. The Special Prosecutor was unable to establish criminal behavior between the campaign and the Russian hacking of Secretary Clinton’s emails. However, Mueller also carefully excludes the term collusion from criminal inquiries as it is not a legal term defining criminal conduct. He does however conclude that collusion in many forms occurred such as future National Security Advisor Michael Flynn successfully telling the Russian ambassador that Russia need not react to American sanctions because Donald Trump was going to be friendly towards Mr. Putin’s regime.
The Special Prosecutor then describes the attempted criminal behavior of Donald Trump, Jr. in his meeting with Russians at Trump Tower that was the subject of Donald Trump lying to the American people (adoptions). Mr. Mueller concludes that it would be difficult to establish whether Donald Trump, Jr. knew he was committing a crime, but that could be resolved by asking him to testify to Congress.
We then have President Trump’s obstruction of justice which is not charged only because Mueller’s Department of Justice told him that President Trump is entitled to obstruct justice as he cannot be charged with a crime while he is President. Mueller makes his employers’ restriction clear as well as his obligation to accede to its directive. Mueller than establishes the facts and connects them to the statutory obstruction of justice elements that outline at least fifteen instances of obstruction by the President. As a result, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has been vindicated by written proof and the statements of the Trump team who contradict the public and private statements of the President.
Finally, we have the detailed legal brief that answers the claim of the attorneys for President Trump that a sitting president can criminally obstruct justice and fire anyone seeking to prove such a crime like the Special Prosecutor. It is astounding that the President of the United States is claiming that he can commit a crime and then prevent anyone from investigating his criminal conduct. Thankfully, Mr. Mueller concludes that such legal reasoning is significantly flawed by precedent (United States v. Nixon is cited six times), statutory language and history.
Beyond the Special Prosecutor’s facts and conclusions, some things are astonishing. Mr. Mueller demonstrates dozens of times when the President lied to the American people such as his adoptions press release, his Trump Tower negotiations and his claims that witnesses (Comey, Gates, McCabe, etc.) and/or their family members (see Cohen’s and McCabe’s families) committed crimes. He lied when he said Mueller applied for a job in Trump’s administration as head of the FBI. He lied about Comey asking to come to dinner (where loyalty was discussed) and lied about the negotiations for Trump Tower in 2017 during the campaign. Mr. Mueller did not investigate Donald Trump’s lies about Mr. Cohen paying for the silence of women who had sex with Mr. Trump and its illegality as tax fraud and campaign finance violations. Therefore, that is a subject for a Congressional inquiry despite Mitch McConnell’s statement that everything has now concluded.
It is also astounding how unintelligent our President is. He publicly said he wouldn’t pardon people because they haven’t been convicted of anything, ignoring the most famous pardon of the 20th Century, unindicted Richard Nixon. He believes that Robert Mueller shouldn’t be allowed to be Special Prosecutor because he chose not to renew his membership at a Trump golf club because of a fee dispute in 2011. He thinks Hilary Clinton gave Andrew McCabe’s wife over $400,000. He thinks the FBI and the Attorney General should be loyal to Donald Trump even if such loyalty does not serve the citizens of the country. He has said, without any proof, that 80% of the FBI agents voted for him. He asked McCabe who he voted for President. He believes that Russia did not interfere in our election because Putin told him so. On April 25, 2019, a month after the Mueller report was sent to the Attorney General, Donald Trump emailed, “The Waste of Money Mueller Report is out and we know two things for sure: There was NO COLLUSION or OBSTRUCTION by President Trump.” He must have read a different Mueller report.
In sum, this is an amazing, informative report even with redactions. I recommend it to every voter.

Grateful for an opportunity to know for myself...
This report is a BIG DEAL and it's difficult to comprehend its enormity from just hearing someone tell you about it. Top-notch production.

READ THE MUELLER REPORT: Make up your own mind
I just finished listening to the Mueller Report (via audible) and I highly recommend you do the same if you have been following US Politics. This way you will not be tainted by the @foxandfriends or a @CNN filter. It’s all there in black and white for you to read/listen to, then you will be able to make an informed decision for yourself and join the conversation.
The report in detail sets out a brilliant time line and narrative of suspicious behaviour, however I do acknowledge that people’s behaviours and actions will have different interpretations dependant on which side of the political isle you sit. That is why I would highly recommend you read the report and see if what happened meets your own threshold of wrong doing.

Do study it.
I’m “just” a Scandinavian interested in the troubling rise of authoritarianism, white supremacy, nativism, endless oligarchy and accompanying threats to democracy.
Though I cannot say that I “enjoyed” listening to this report it is a VERY important document well worth the investment in time. US citizens ought to study it closely. Though certainly technical in parts, it is well written.
(I, btw, find it pathetic that many republican politicians seem to avoid (?) reading and digesting it). Mad props to Elisabeth Warren who read it within hours of it being published - and who drew the right conclusions from it.

Story
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett reveals the real story behind Hillary Clinton’s deep state collaborators in government and exposes their nefarious actions during and after the 2016 election. This audiobook reveals how persons within the FBI and Barack Obama’s Justice Department worked improperly to help elect Hillary Clinton and defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. When this suspected effort failed, those same people appear to have pursued a contrived investigation of President Trump in an attempt to undo the election results and remove him as president.

Story
When Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned in November 2018, two years after Donald Trump's surprise electoral victory, a political outsider named Matthew Whitaker became Acting Attorney General of the United States. Now Whitaker shares the shocking truth that he discovered when he temporarily became head of the Justice Department: that so-called public servants, the people charged with upholding our nation's founding principle of "equal justice under law", have abandoned that principle in order to advance a vicious partisan vendetta against President Trump.

With the cutting analysis and insight he exhibited in his blockbuster bestseller Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J.

Story
Investigative journalist Lee Smith's The Plot Against the President tells the story of how Congressman Devin Nunes uncovered the operation to bring down the commander-in-chief. While popular opinion holds that Russia subverted democratic processes during the 2016 elections, the real damage was done not by Moscow or any other foreign actor. Rather, this was a slow-moving coup engineered by a coterie of the American elite, the "deep state," targeting not only the president, but also the rest of the country.

Story
Judicial Watch, America's largest nonpartisan government watchdog, has investigated the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations. Judicial Watch is the group that helped impeach Bill Clinton and took the Bush White House secrecy all the way up to the Supreme Court. Since the beginning of the Obama administration, this grassroots group has filed over 700 open records demands and dozens of lawsuits, including a successful fight over the secret Obama White House visitor logs.

Story
Three-quarters of Americans believe that a group of unelected government and military officials secretly manipulate or direct national policy in the United States. This sweeping exploration examines the CIA and FBI scandals of the past 50 years - from the Church Committee's exposure of Cold War abuses, to Abscam, to false intelligence about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, to NSA mass surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden. It then investigates the claims and counterclaims of the Trump era, and the relentless spread of conspiracy theories online and on-air.
