Obstruction of Justice: How the Deep State Risked National Security to Protect the Democrats Kindle Edition

by Luke Rosiak (Author), Newt Gingrich (Foreword) Format: Kindle Edition

4.7 627 ratings

See all formats and editions

Investigative reporter Luke Rosiak is being hailed as “one of the smartest, most diligent reporters in Washington” (TUCKER CARLSON) and “a bulldog” (DANA LOESCH) for uncovering “what is possibly the largest scandal and coverup in the history of the United States House of Representatives” (NEWT GINGRICH).

It’s like something out of a spy novel: In the heat of the 2016 election, an unvetted Pakistani national with a proclivity for blackmail gained access to the computer files of one in five Democrats in the House of Representatives. He and his family lifted data off the House network, stole the identity of an intelligence specialist, and sent congressional electronic equipment to foreign officials. And that was only the beginning.

Rather than protect national security, Congress and the Justice Department schemed to cover up a politically inconvenient hack and an underlying fraud on Capitol Hill involving dozens of Democrats' offices. Evidence disappeared, witnesses were threatened, and the supposed watchdogs in the media turned a blind eye.

Combining tenacious investigative reporting and high-tech investigative techniques, Luke Rosiak began ferreting out the truth, and found himself face to face with the "Deep State," observing how Nancy Pelosi's Democrats manipulated the Department of Justice, the media, and even Republican leadership to sabotage the investigation into what Newt Gingrich calls possibly the biggest congressional scandal in history.

About the Author

Luke Rosiak is a Washington-based investigative reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation who investigates the Department of Justice, waste and dysfunction in the federal government, Congress, and corruption. He previously worked as an investigator for a congressional committee.

Review

“The cover-up detailed in this book is key reading for anyone who wants to know how the Deep State works—how establishment politicians deviously scheme to control a corrupt Department of Justice bureaucracy and the liberal mainstream media, to manipulate the truth, and deceive the American people. Luke Rosiak has done what these politicians never wanted to; he’s uncovered and told the truth.” -- Sean Hannity, host of "The Sean Hannity Show" and Fox News Channel’s "Hannity"

“My jaw hit the floor; one of the most amazing miscarriages of justice I have ever seen. This book illuminates everything you need to know about a Nancy Pelosi-controlled House. Luke Rosiak is a bulldog, never ceasing until every last detail of the most explosive cover-up by Democrats is made known.” -- Dana Loesch, nationally syndicated radio host of "The Dana Show"

“Rosiak is one of the smartest, most diligent reporters in Washington, and this book is testament to his skills. Future historians trying to make sense of the unprecedented deception and insanity we’re now living through will be reading Luke Rosiak.” -- Tucker Carlson, host of Fox News Channel’s "Tucker Carlson Tonight"

"Luke Rosiak is a reporter's reporter—a dedicated, truth-seeking investigator who won't let bureaucrats stonewall him. He tells the extraordinary story of how Republicans and Democrats, the Justice Department, and the FBI worked together to cover up perhaps the worst security breach in congressional history. If you want proof that we need to drain the swamp, you'll find it here." -- Peter Schweizer, bestselling author of "Clinton Cash" --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Phooey

Amazing example of investigative journalism!

The photo I posted above is not mine, I found it on the news site that is listed at the top of the page. I wish I had found it before I read this book so I could have kept up with the storyline better, being a visual person. This book and its careful collection of evidence in this alarming story have made me a fan of Luke Rosiak and The Daily Caller, which he calls an "an unstoppable pirate ship" among news organizations. True that! I was so distressed to see that Wikipedia has listed this story as a "conspiracy theory" because the collection of documents and eyewitnesses to this scandal are the opposite of a "theory" but is very well proven. (I investigated and read his sources as I worked through the book because I didn't know Luke and didn't know if I could trust him). Wikipedia and other mainstream media are obviously echoing official statements from these slimy politicians who are protecting their own reputations. My only comfort is that I know that outside the bubble of Washington and journalism, the average Americans I interact with scoff at the media, and the official statements of politicians and they know they are twisting facts and creating fictions. Out in flyover country, we are aware of their tricky ways and most people don't even pay attention to their reports. They are all just talking to each other. Thank you, Luke Rosiak, for your hard work in recording what actually happened here so that future generations will be able to piece together the truth! This book has also prompted me to nag my husband and other business leaders that I know to learn how to handle their own IT tasks, and to stop relying on someone else to set up all their digital accounts, new phones, computers and such. People over 40 especially need to pay attention and learn to protect their digital lives! They also need to make sure that background checks are actually completed, that they are current and check out the histories of their trusted employees. There are scummy players out there!

The Epilogue will have you in tears of frustration

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2019

You should not read this book because it happens to support conclusions that are useful to Trump. You should not avoid this book because notables who like those conclusions because of their specifics have endorsed it. You should read this because it is your responsibility to be advised of, and if you choose, fix these problems under Article 1 of the Constitution. Because the House is closest to the People, the burden of oversight and the check on its power is ultimately with us, theoretically enabled by a free press. Yes, Luke Rosiak works for a right leaning outfit and doesn't hide his own views in this book. But, the ENGAGING and SHOCKING narrative of this book stand solidly on fact and sound journalistic practice. Luke writes with surprising empathy to the Democratic victims and staffers, who are clearly in a massive political bind. It is the lack of diligence, the lack of courage, and the willingness to turn a blind eye in the interest of the swamp by REPUBLICANS that drives all of the poignancy of this story. Some spoilers: Luke doesn't draw any conclusions about whether the deep state within the FBI and the Swamp staff are colluding. He simply doesn't have the data. Likewise, the impact to national security of the Awan breach goes unplumbed-- apparently by anyone. In Washington, even the temporary alignment of political and personal interest can create strange bedfellows. Maybe that happened here, when Republicans not wild about Trump, staffers desperate to protect the interest of members without ever even considering the broader national security implications, and a Blue Wall which formed to hide a dropped ball on what ultimately was revealed to be a case of importance came together in BREATHTAKING suppression of action that should have been taken in interest of the public? Many are frustrated that the Awans escaped justice and that whatever DWS was hiding was never revealed. But the most important chapter here is the epilogue. This is not a story about suppressing an incident but quietly cleaning up. In the end NOTHING changed. Whether because of petty personal power, or to protect crooked politicians who remain at risk from other Awan types who are still on the network, the swamp and their press enablers successfully made the whole thing completely go away -- if it were not for this book.

I have met the third world country and IT IS US...

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019

That great philosopher, POGO, nailed it. I used to sit in puzzlement when I would read an account of some "other" third world country when the kinds of things which Luke so painstakingly documents in this book occurred. I used to wonder, How could this kind of corruption be carried out in broad daylight? Little did I know that it is commonplace in our country. But for all thinking Americans, as the list of corruption and coverups continues to lengthen, from the assassination of a President to 911, from lying us into war to the Mueller witch hunt, and other nefarious operations too numerous to list, we have to admit that we live in a country on the brink of complete institutional breakup. When the lawmakers and those responsible for keeping the laws are the problem, as Luke points out in spades in the Awan saga, our society is indeed hanging by a thread. One bright spot in all this though, the Clintons are not involved in this coverup. As far as I know there have been no "questionable" suicides reported. But then, I guess if there were, that conceivably could have been covered up too. I have to go now, I am writing a song, "It's hard to be an American". Of course I jest, which seems like the only thing an average person can do now. But to that I say, take heart citizen, TRUTH always wins out. Sometimes it just takes time. "Sowing and reaping" is an eternal law that nobody can break, not the Awans, not the corrupt elected officials, not the establishment, not anyone. I do not like what is going on, but no Virginia, I am not leaving this country. I want to stay and see how all this ends. :)

A true story of stunning U.S. government corruption, incompetence, betrayal, and greed. If the twists and turns of the Hillary email and Trump collusion investigations make your head spin, then this simpler case of FBI and congressional cover-up makes the workings of the Deep State frighteningly obvious...

Something is really, really rotten in the state of American Justice.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2019

False accounting, intimidation of witnesses, illegal diversion of sensitive material, massive cover-up.

Luke Rosiak asks the old question: if a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound, if no-one is there to hear it? He's being ironic. He documents an entire forest crashing down, with all of the Washington, DC, press corps stopping their ears and saying, "La-la-la." Is a scandal scandalous, if nobody says so? Apparently not.

Luke Rosiak works for the Daily Caller News Foundation, a news organisation independent of the Democrat-dominated media in the United States. He came up with a meticulously researched and documented exposé of corruption, theft and possible espionage on Capitol Hill. Forty-four (remember that number) Democratic members of the House of Representatives employed a group of supposed IT specialists, paying them rates well above those normally delivered for such roles. At least one of those thus employed had absolutely no previous IT experience.

Not one of these Democrats saw the need to vet their IT aides for security purposes, or even, so it seems, to check if they had any suitability for their prospective jobs. There was certainly financial malpractice: the purchasing, on the budget of a Representative's office, of more computer hardware than it could conceivably need, with the costs artfully, but unsubtly disguised. Rosiak actually describes one Democrat involved as "corrupt." I think he is confident of being able to back that up.

Alongside the shenanigans on Capitol Hill, Luke Rosiak exposes the disquieting oddities of the "IT specialists'" private lives: polygamy; wife-beating; a second-hand-car company with no cars; post-mortem adjustments to life insurance... It all evaded the people who were supposed to check out the credentials of anyone working for the most powerful parliament in the world.

But that's no biggie, because, when the Department of Justice lethargically got involved, it wasn't much interested in those things, either. An agent of the FBI followed a member of the gang to the airport (proof, in itself, that the DoJ was aware of potentially nefarious activity); found that she had twelve thousand undeclared dollars on her person, i.e. an illegally large amount for export; determined that she had no intention of returning to America. He saw no need to detain the suspect. Later on, he would be celebrated by the FBI as one of their star performers on the case, but his only contribution was his ineptitude at the airport.

Armed with all of this, the authorities couldn't fail to get someone in the slammer, could they? Well, yes, they certainly could, if they weren't keen to investigate the case from the start. Democrats had all sorts of reasons for suppressing the facts; whether or not they had broken laws, they had been taken for fools. For one thing, they were peddling the ludicrous "Russian collusion" myth, to provide a smoke-screen for Hillary Clinton's thoroughly hacked hardware. An authentic IT scandal in their own midst didn't entirely suit them.

On Luke Rosiak's well-attested evidence, not only Democrats, but also Republicans defended law-breakers. The DoJ and FBI visibly failed to pursue the case. Proof? Remember that number: forty-four? When the anaemic law-case made it to a court, the prosecutors, as Rosiak amply displays, pretty well sided with the defendant. They boasted of having interviewed forty people, finding no evidence of criminal goings-on on Capitol Hill. Luke Rosiak points out that they didn't even interview all forty-four of the Democratic Representatives concerned; he also observes that a large amount of Federal investigation into the case happened only in the last few days before the plea deal. He plausibly proposes that that claim of Federal diligence was based on hurriedly made interviews, expressly to be able, in court, to suggest that a comprehensive investigation had been conducted. His own researches were made over two years.

Luke Rosiak's writing isn't perfect ("discrete" for "discreet" and "tact" for tack"}, but this is a compelling read and mostly very well written. He is a patriotic American. As a Briton, three thousand miles across the Atlantic, I share his disgust at what the American justice system has evolved into, while being intensely conscious of how shamelessly our own "rulers" think they inhabit a separate universe from the rest of us..

Could not put this Kindle Book down. The corruption in the ‘deep state’ is far worse than I could have I imagined. This book needs to be read by every American, regardless of political affiliation.
