Trump’s enemies set out to remove him from office even before his inauguration—which culminated in an election-year impeachment trial.

“That the Left tried to undo the results of the 2016 by whatever means necessary is not in doubt. Fred Lucas reminds us of the dangers this approach poses to constitutional government as he dissects what President Trump has rightly called one of the greatest hoaxes in our history.” —Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist and bestselling author

“A devastating and comprehensive takedown of Trump’s impeachment, and a thoughtful look at the historical context of past impeachments, with strong reporting and research to combat the Left’s inevitable rewrite of history.” —Sara Carter, Fox News Contributor, award-winning correspondent, host of The Sara Carter Show podcast

“Fred Lucas goes beyond the tribalism to the truth. There doesn’t need to be any partisan spin here, because the facts of the coup the Democrats attempted speak for themselves.” —Steve Deace, host of the Steve Deace Show on TheBlaze TV

Abuse of Power exposes:

•How Elizabeth Warren tried to set an impeachment trap for Trump even before the inauguration.
•Why the depths of the Biden family’s international conflict of interests are worthy of a federal investigation.
•Why Nancy Pelosi caved to The Squad to remain leadership.
•How Adam Schiff pushed Jerry Nadler out of the key spot to lead the impeachment.
•How Democrats abandoned what would have been a crowning leftwing achievement in gun control legislation in order to pursue an impeachment that was destined to fail in the Senate.
•How Mitt Romney’s vote to convict likely prevent three moderate Democrats from rebelling against party leaders.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It details the events leading up to Trump's impeachment beginning with Democrats' resistance to his presidency from the beginning, through the Mueller probe and its aftermath, all the way through the Senate vote that kept Trump in office."-- Fox News

"For Trump supporters, the author's focus on historical, legal, and testimonial details may seem frustratingly nonpartisan. Nevertheless, it is instructive to know the legal and procedural differences that distinguish Trump's impeachment from the proceedings brought against Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton.... Lucas provides a complete impeachment scorecard that tracks witnesses, testimony, rules of engagement, and perceived hits and misses during both the investigations and the impeachment trial itself." -- American Thinker

Lucas envelops you in the history of previous impeachments. Then he takes apart the impeachment charges against President Trump. His research is meticulous and fascinating. It's political insider baseball. ... Lucas was at the forefront of Trump's impeachment proceedings. He tells a must-read story of what occurred during the hearings and what surrounded them. He gives you excellent research and a historical backdrop that provides you a great deal of insight into what transpired. -- NoisyRoom.net

"Fred Lucas writes in his book Abuse of Power that Pelosi grew frustrated with underwhelming and rocky hearings held by Nadler with Mueller, who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election, and Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump campaign manager who openly mocked Democrats during the event. This led to her to prefer Schiff to lead the Ukraine-focused impeachment case against Trump that followed." -- Washington Examiner

Jane Nixon White

Abuse of Power by Fred V. Lucas is a Must Read.

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

Fred Lucas's book is a fascinating study of the politically motivated impeachment of President Donald Trump. Though painstakingly researched and historically documented, the author writes in a very readable style, and presents information you couldn't know from just watching the television coverage. This is a very timely book to read in the final days before the 2020 election, as it includes mention of the Bidens and Burisma not covered in the Senate trial. I highly recommend it.

The most thorough look at the failed impeachment effort. Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

I received an advanced copy of this book and found it to be a compelling, well-documented account of the historic effort and behind-the-scenes gamesmanship that took place in the attempt to impeach President Trump.

I thought I followed the coverage of the impeachment effort closely, but Lucas' book was filled with moments that I was not aware of. From comments and actions put into motion by the Democratic Party before Trump ever took office to the mistakes and missteps the Trump Administration made to exacerbate the situation, Lucas' book sheds light on the politics behind the impeachment effort and the left's struggle to come to terms with the election of Trump.

For a book that could have been political wonk, Lucas' writing style is compelling and immediately sucks you into the story line of the investigations, the election and the political maneuvering that took place. Highly recommended reading.

Fred Lucas makes the case - Dems abused their power to impeach Trump

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020

Full disclosure -- I received an advance copy of this book... I have also interviewed Fred Lucas in the past for his previous book "Tainted By Suspicion."

"Abuse of Power" is an important work at a very important time in America. The book reads as one might expect a monthly, serialized version of the Trump presidency and Democrats' efforts to delegitimize his election, prevent the Trump administration from accomplishing any of their planned actions on campaign promises and to impeach & (if possible) remove Donald Trump from office. In fact, with regular releases of declassified documents showing just how high up the plot to hamstring the current administration and more indictments expected from the Durham investigation, I could see Fred adding chapters as the shoes keep dropping.

A personal favorite section of the book is Chapter 9: The Trigger -- It's about Trump's call to the Ukrainian president and how Dems managed to twist what was said (or not said) into the massively partisan impeachment we all endured.

"Abuse of Power" showcases Lucas' very readable attention to detail in presenting the timeline and evidence of Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi and the Dem's obsession with destroying Donald Trump, without political bias. Given the highly-charged partisan environment of 2020, this is no small accomplishment.

All in all, this one is a worthy addition to your "political" section.

An in-depth analysis of the Trump impeachment

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2020

If you find yourself forgetting all the details of recent political history, you’ll be thrilled that author Fred Lucas has kept an incredible journal of all the steps that led to the impeachment of President Trump. In his book, “Abuse of Power,” Lucas not only catalogs all of the media and political arguments that inundated the public, but he helps by putting it all in perspective. For example, he reminds readers that the whole impeachment process had nothing to do with anything Trump actually did; however, rather than just assert his opinion, Lucas quotes Texas’ Democratic Congressman Al Green who made it clear that the Democrats were using impeachment to try to unseat a legitimately elected president. Green said in an interview on MSNBC with Chris Hayes, “Well, the genesis of impeachment, to be very candid with you, was when the president was running for office.” Lucas goes on to explain, “Before the Ukraine call was even a controversy, Green publicly declared, ‘I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach the president, he will get reelected.’” As with all of his important points in the book, Lucas is careful to footnote his sources, demonstrating that he’s not just some social media whiner, but rather a serious researcher.
One of the most memorable quotes Lucas uses is to demonstrate how Joe Biden himself had tied strings on U.S. government aid to the Ukraine. While Democrats complaining about Trump said it was wrong for him to make any demands on a foreign country in a “quid pro quo” fashion, they forgot this story about their #1 guy, Joe Biden: “I said, ‘I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars,’” Biden said. “I said, ‘you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours.’ I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.” “Well, son of a bitch,” Biden said, prompting laughter again. “He got fired and they put in place someone who was solid at the time.” Taking the conflict of interests regarding Hunter Biden and Burisma out of the equation entirely, what Biden did was the textbook definition of a quid pro quo, making U.S. aid contingent on taking an action. Foreign aid has often been contingent on a carrot-and-stick approach. In this case, Biden was using a stick.” It’s only when Trump decided to investigate possible interference in the 2016 American elections by asking for help from the president of the Ukraine that the Democrats got in a tizzy. It’s impossible to understand why they would have wanted to cover for Biden when everyone knew how the then-Vice President helped his son Hunter like this: “After Obama-Biden were well into their second terms, Hunter Biden flew on Air Force Two with his father to China on December 4, 2013. The vice president met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Hunter also arranged for Li to meet his father. Less than two weeks after Li met the vice president, Hunter’s Rosemont firm nailed a $1 billion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Bank of China, Schweizer reported.”
Lucas’ book is an interesting read for anyone who wants to get into the details of the impeachment follies. However, for the short version, consider this brief list that Lucas quotes, which explains the flaws in the whole impeachment episode:
“Deputy White House counsel Mike Purpura said the entire case put forward by House impeachment managers melts under what he said were “six key facts.” Purpura laid these out as: •“First, the transcript shows that the president did not condition either security assistance or a meeting on anything. •“Second, President Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials repeatedly have said there was no quid pro quo and no pressure on them to review anything. •“Third, President Zelensky and high-ranking Ukrainian officials did not even know the security assistance was month after the July 25 call. •“Fourth, not a single witness testified that the president himself said that there was any connection between any investigations in security assistance, a presidential meeting, or anything else. •“Fifth, the security assistance flowed on Sept. 11 and a presidential meeting took place on Sept. 25 [at the United Nations] without the Ukrainian government announcing any investigations. •“Finally, the Democrats’ blind drive to impeach the president does not and cannot change the fact, as attested to by the Democrats’ own witnesses, that President Trump has been a better friend and stronger supporter of Ukraine than his predecessor.””
