    About this audiobook

    For the first time, the full, explosive record of the unthinkable: how a US president compromised American foreign policy in exchange for the promise of future business and covert election assistance.

    Looking back at this moment in history, 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 around 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 the promise of future business and covert election assistance. The attorney, professor and former criminal investigator has used his exacting legal mind and forensic acumen to compile, organise and analyse 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 and Kremlin agents.

    * 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 Congressional investigation or a report from Special Counsel Mueller - the public record already indicates 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.

      When authors decide to inflict their ignorance to all they should, at the very least, know the whole history of their corruption riddled country.

      THIS MAN SHOULD BE WRITHING IN EMBARRASSMENT AFTER WHAT THE EVIL IN THEIR SYSTEM HAS DONE TO GOOD, HONEST PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

      Subtitle: Subtitle: How Trump Betrayed AmericaFirst, obviously things move so fast in Trump-world that many books are out-of-date before they are published. And this book is no exception. Abramson has written three books (so far) each covering an aspect of the Trump phenomenon. This one sets forth in exquisite detail all the information known as of the time of its publication in 2018 (thus predating the Mueller Report) about Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election to help Trump get elected, and of Trump's knowing acceptance of those efforts (collusion by any definition). It is valuable for that reason.The book is organized chronologically from 1987 through 2018. I took lots of notes, which I won't reiterate here, other than to set forth a long quote. The author concludes, somewhat prophetically, in the Afterword:"The volume and scope of Trump's deceit, along with his indefensible domestic and foreign policies, could well produce, in short order, the crashing of the American economy, multiple costly military adventures abroad, and continued degradation of American cultural and political discourse that will take many years to heal. Ironically, the chances that Trump will cause dramatic harm to the very party that elevated him to the presidency are far higher than many people suppose; we cannot expect that Trump will go quietly into the good night while he retains his power or at any time thereafter. He will pursue vengeance against anyone he perceives as having been an instrument of his accountability, whether those in his sight are Democrats or, as he might see it, disloyal Republicans."America will survive this period; to do so, however, it will have to finally accept the unthinkable: it elected a man capable of corporate crime, astonishing greed, and personal cruelty."3 1/2 stars
