Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump

Everyone has an opinion about whether Donald Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. Dan Bongino is not interested in opinions. In Spygate, he and co-author D.C. McAllister set out to follow the facts, and the facts, they argue, tell a story that is the precise inverse of the one the mainstream media spent years selling. The comprehensive account assembled here draws on documentary evidence, financial records, and the public testimony of key figures to make the case that the real scandal of 2016 was not Trump's relationship with Russia but the Obama administration's use of intelligence assets to infiltrate and undermine his campaign. The authors trace the network of actors involved: the spy inserted into the Trump campaign by Deep State-connected operatives, the opposition research firm hired by the Clinton campaign and its connections to Russian sources, the FBI's refusal to examine DNC servers in favor of a private firm with its own conflicts of interest, British intelligence's role in building the collusion narrative, and the Ukrainian connections that helped legitimize the perception of Trump-Russia coordination. What emerges is not a conspiracy theory but a documented account of how political opponents, both foreign and domestic, attempted to sabotage a presidential campaign and then worked to delegitimize the presidency that resulted.
