Witness to Treason: How the GOP, Trump, & Greed Betrayed America Robert N McLaughlin

Espionage, blackmail, sex, greed, murder, spies, treason, and betrayal are all actors in this recounting of the front-page events from December 2015 through the summer of 2018 that made once-boring politics a primary source of entertainment for tens of millions of Americans. The imagination pooled from a room full of the world's greatest fiction story-tellers couldn't have seen all of this coming. This is all true, and this truth is stranger than fiction.

The author presents a personal journal recalling, with the assistance of credible news sources and pronouncements directly from the mouths of many of the players, the insanity that dominated the tumultuous period when the US political landscape was uprooted by Donald J. Trump and his friends. Insanity and chaos reigned during Trump's campaign to be the Republican Party's nominee for president in 2016. The insanity continued with his stunning, and raucously successful assault on the White House, and chaos became 'business as usual' for the first two years of his presidency when he degraded America's image as the leader of the free world. The grueling GOP campaign debates, the sound and fury of the turbulent battle between Trump and Hillary Clinton, and the brazen interference from Russia in America's election are revisited, added with facts that Americans weren't told the first time around.

The author, a political junkie and avid voter who has voted on every election day since May 1968, shares what happened and who made it happen. The book consists of thirteen chapters: the first eleven chapters present the reasons and elements that contributed to Trump's stunning victory, the final two chapters celebrate the courage and fortitude of the Free Press in all its forms, and trumpet an important Call to Action to Americans in every neighborhood, descendant from all corners of the world, to step out and rededicate America to its rightful place as a refuge for those seeking liberty and justice.
