The Russia Hoax

Almost great...read the book...audio is annoying

I'll break this apart into sections.

First - the story: ***** (Five Stars) The story is fantastic. Its an amazing piece of history that is frankly unconscionable and Gregg has done a great job lining up the events and history. Let's hope that the planners of this hoax go to jail.

Second - the writing: **** (Four Stars) Gregg is a good writer. Here though it seems that he is trying too hard to be factual. So many times he is citing USC in the book. Other times there is a bit of 'amazement' that seems to be reported as facts. I reached the conclusion that this is a cesspool of corruption without that amazement. Lastly - the story is complex. At times there are multiple, multiple players in scenarios Gregg is describing. The use of pronouns became confusing at times...sometimes it was an art in sentence diagramming to figure out who the object of the pronoun was.

Third - the performance: * (One Star) I listened to the unabridged version with an introduction and postlude by Gregg Jarrett. That was great. Charles Constant and the editors however are awful. There was not nearly enough research into things such how to pronounce names. Peter Strzok for example. Its pronounced Struck, not Sterzok. Devin Nunes is another example. Its pronounced New-nez, not Noons. These are two examples...common guys - do your research and do a better job editing.

Excellent, well documented synopsis

Extremely well-written and documented synopsis of the Russian Collusion scandal that's headed the news for two years. Everyone with an interest in Current Events should read this book.

Eye Opening....

It's amazing how people in the highest offices of this great nation can get away with breaking the law and not held accountable, whereas people who are less connected would be convicted in a heartbeat.....

Does an EXCELLENT job at exposing the phony Trump/Russian hoax

I was really impressed with this book. It does an excellent job at breaking down all that has gone on during the Trump/Russian collusion hoax. It covers all the legal aspects of the case and why there is no legal evidence for the investigation.

Laughably dumb

I think my favorite part is when he asserts that evil secret government agents created the "fake dossier" to take down trump. So they waited until AFTER the election to leak the document? LOL, that doesnt even make sense. If the purpose of the dossier was to hurt trump then of course they would have leaked it prior to the election. Furthermore Jarret claims that the dossier is what triggered the whole Russia investigation. This is a lie. One of Trumps cronies by the name of George Papadopoulos boasted to Australian diplomats that the Russians had dirt on Hillary that they would use to help his guy Trump win the election. The Australians were alarmed and alerted the FBI. This happened BEFORE the dossier. Jarret conveniently left that out.

Jarret also makes the claim that Hillary Clinton abused her power as a member of CFIUS by approving Uranium One. Jarret claims that in order for Uranium One to be approved all members of CFIUS must be in unanimous approval. A single veto could ruin the deall so says the author. This is another one of the authors lies. CFIUS does not vote at all in these matters. There is no voting or vetoing or anything of the sort. Each member of CFIUS simply reviews the request and can make recommendations to the president. No member of CFIUS has the authority to veto these sorts of deals. Don't believe me? Look it up. Google how CFIUS works and you'll see that Gret Jarret is a liar just like all of Trump defenders are.

Wow!

Jarrett writes the most important, clear and concise book of the era!

You can find a lot of the pieces of this book in different places but not laid out and in order like Jarrett does here

clear and concise

the only aggravating part for me is that many names are mispronounced such as Peter Strzok.

Important history that is clear and well documented

Jarrett does an incredible job of merging the facts and the law in an interesting blend that will never be seen in the mainstream media.
This book should be required reading for media and lawmakers.
It is a cautionary tale of intelligence agencies that were consumed by personal opinion and self-importance.
Only caveat in my 5 star rating was the narrator that could not correctly pronounce some of the names of key figures. And it’s pundit not pundant.

Great read, sad truth

This book is easy to listen and to understand. Jarrett lays everything out on the table and then examines each topic methodically. The sad truth is that these culprits are still doing the evil portrayed here. I’m waiting for justice to prevail.
