The following is an excerpt from Lee Smith’s book out today, The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History: “After Donald Trump was elected forty-fifth president of the United States, the operation designed to undermine his campaign transformed. It became an instrument to bring down the commander in chief. The coup started almost immediately after the polls closed.” Lee Smith, “How The Obama Administration Set In Motion Democrats’ Coup Against Trump,” The Federalist, 10/28/2019.
