About this audiobook
Looking back at this moment, historians will ask if Americans knew they were living through the first case of criminal conspiracy between an American presidential candidate turned commander in chief and a geopolitical enemy. The answer might be: it was hard to see the whole picture. The stories coming in from across the globe have often seemed fantastical: clandestine meetings in foreign capitals, secret recordings in a Moscow hotel, Kremlin agents infiltrating the Trump inner circle…
Seth Abramson has tracked every one of these far-flung reports, and now in, Proof of Collusion, he finally gives us a record of the unthinkable—a president compromising American foreign policy in exchange for financial gain and covert election assistance. The attorney, professor, and former criminal investigator has used his exacting legal mind and forensic acumen to compile, organize, and analyze every piece of the Trump-Russia story. His conclusion is clear: the case for collusion is staring us in the face. Drawing from American and European news outlets, he takes readers through the Trump-Russia scandal chronologically, putting the developments in context and showing how they connect. His extraordinary march through all the public evidence includes:
-How Trump worked for thirty years to expand his real estate empire into Russia even as he was rescued from bankruptcy by Putin’s oligarchs, Kremlin agents, and the Russian mafia.
-How Russian intelligence gathered compromising material on him over multiple trips.
-How Trump recruited Russian allies and business partners while running for president.
-How he surrounded himself with advisers who engaged in clandestine negotiations with Russia.
-How Trump aides and family members held secret meetings with foreign agents and lied about them.
By pulling every last thread of this complicated story together, Abramson argues that—even in the absence of a report from Special Counsel Mueller or a thorough Congressional investigation—the public record already confirms a quid pro quo between Trump and the Kremlin. The most extraordinary part of the case for collusion is that so much of it unfolded in plain sight.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5NONE of this book is OPINION. Everything in this book is well researched and documented. Those who say it is propaganda are completely wrong. This book has been on the NY Times Bestseller list - as is its sequel - PROOF OF CONSPIRACY, which came out today (9/3/19)- already #1 on Amazon. The sequel has been described as a "richly documented indictment of power and corruption bearing urgent discussion" —Kirkus

"By pulling every last thread of this complicated story together, Abramson argues that ...the public record already confirms a quid pro quo between Trump and the Kremlin. The most extraordinary part of the case for collusion is that so much of it unfolded in plain sight." - Simon and Schuster. This "plain sight" evidence exists in reputable worldwide news reports and other public sources that have been pulled together and organized comprehensively by Abramson.
I have followed Seth Abramson on Twitter for a few years, and I highly recommend this book. The information within it is vital in helping to preserve our Democracy.11 people found this helpful

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I can only assume that the window of opportunity for a money grab due to the current political climate was too was too much to resist. Most Americans see through this charade for what it really is. Unfortunately, there is a large enough continent of citizens stricken with Trump Derangement Syndrome that there is money to be made from their condition.
Mueller has an unlimited budget, no oversight, no time constraints, nobody to answer to, complete secrecy and no charter to follow. Essentially he has broad powers to take the investigation wherever he wants and no limits on his power.
The American people who have been able to stave off the syndrome are able to see through the charade and recognize that after two years of wasting our tax dollars and still having nothing to go on, the situation has turned into a joke. And if you manage to look beyond the sensational headlines implying major breakthroughs with Flynn, Cohen, manafort, Corsi, Stone, you will realize that every instance of supposed wrongdoing occurred well after the alleged collusion timeline and are essentially plea bargains to avoid jail time for trivial instances of perjury.
It's time to lay the cards in the table. If they had something, don't you think it would have come out by now? The whole situation might just blow up in their face because it just wreaks of political theater.

But nothing has been released in this case. NO evidence. America is still waiting. We all know that. This is propaganda. And that reviewer was probably related somehow to the author.3 people found this helpful
