From the phony Russia collusion narrative to the coordinated riots laying waste to US cities, it's the same ongoing operation orchestrated by the left and targeting not just President Trump but hundreds of millions of Americans who revere their country and what it stands for. For the first time, crusading investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals who was responsible and the never before known involvement of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and senior military officials who engineered a coup against a sitting president.
Beginning in late 2015, political operatives, intelligence officials, and the press pushed a conspiracy theory about Trump-he was a Russian asset and spied on his campaign and his presidency in order to undo an election.
Because the ultimate goal of the anti-Trump operation is not simply to topple the president but rather to change the character and constitution of the country, the Deep State's machinations didn't stop even after Trump was cleared of charges of "colluding" with Moscow. Their efforts became even more fierce, more desperate, and more divisive, threatening to scar America permanently.
In their zeal to bring down President Trump, Deep State conspirators had unwittingly revealed the origins of the anti-Trump operation and exposed corruption at the very highest levels of the Democratic party-including former Vice President Biden and his boss, Barack Obama.
Lee Smith brings to this story the same incisive reporting and commentary that distinguished his runaway bestseller, The Plot Against the President. His investigation, identifying crimes and abuses committed by senior US officials, was later confirmed by a major Department of Justice report.
For The Permanent Coup, Smith again enjoys unrivaled and exclusive access to the main players defending America and uncovering Deep State crimes-including Congressman Devin Nunes and the president's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

As a student of this cabal I found the book concise, accurate, understandable and an easy read, except chapter nine (you may have to read this twice). The approach Lee Smith pursues allows the average American a view into the corruption of the former United States administration to oust the present. I have witnessed his appearances on CNN and Fox Networks and have found him very credible as a reporter.
As idealistic Democrats we ushered in Obama’s “Hope and Change.” We ended up with the most corrupt administration undermining the United States taxpayer. It appears Russiagate was a purposeful extension of the Obama Administration’s Iran deal media campaign. This coupled with the secret espionage operation targeting those opposed to these efforts to realign American interests with a terrorist state which displayed corrosive anti-Semitism.
After digesting chapter twelve the reader fully understands The White House of Kalorama is the culprit fueling this continued national descent. The purposefully interference of the peaceful transition of power continues to this day. Thus turning The Democrat Party into “The Party of Make Believe.” It appears at the head of the party is Barak H. Obama as the conductor leading this anarchic orchestra.
Although references appear very impressive and functional, the product has no index. Most of the book appears constructed on in-person interviews and much of congressional investigative materials. Although minimal, I do not enjoy unnamed source quotes found in the front of the book.
To the torpid 50% of Americans that still feel Donald Trump is a Russian agent, read this objective account! This is an organized permanent coup to destabilize a government similar to what took place in the Euromaidan Ukraine Coup from 2006-2015. To the same 50% the chronology in the front of the book is easy to navigate and understand, if you do not have the time to read the work. This is the greatest coup in American history and all Americans need to understand what has happened and where it continues! Look for an October Surprise in 2020 for it is the Hunter Biden emails. Get this book!
If you read only one book this year - it should be Lee Smith's "The Permanent Coup". Even though it is a poignant feeling, finishing this fine book leaves the reader with the sense of having lost a great friend. You will not want it to end.
Not to worry though. Lee Smith will be back with another fine book - of that I am certain! There is so much more to this sordid tale of - what a CAST of Characters - Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, Mueller, Weissmann, Rice, Yates, Rosenstein, Sullivan, Holder, Obama, Clinton, Biden (Joe,Hunter, brother, et al.) Strozk, Vindman, Atkinson, Schiff, Steele, Ohr (Nellie and Bruce), Simpson, Mifsud, Downer, Dibble, Ciaramella, Halper, Gaeta, Podesta ,et al.
Finally, don't miss the upcoming MOVIE in October 2020, of Lee Smith's earlier book, "The Plot Against the President" - directed by the talented, audacious daughter, Amanda Milius, of the great John Milius- the award winning American screenwriter, director, and producer of motion pictures.
Don't miss this superb read! Buy it now, and start reading - you will find it insatiable reading!!
