Synopsis

Despite Clintons commanding lead in the polls, hyper-partisan intelligence officials decided they needed an insurance policy against a Trump presidency. Thus was born the collusion narrative, built on an anonymously sourced dossier, secretly underwritten by the Clinton campaign and compiled by a former British spy. Although acknowledged to be salacious and unverified at the FBIs highest level, the dossier was used to build a counterintelligence investigation against Trumps campaign. Miraculously, Trump won anyway. But his political opponents refused to accept the voters decision. Their collusion narrative was now peddled relentlessly by political operatives, intelligence agents, Justice Department officials, and media ideologuesthe vanguard of the Trump Resistance. Through secret surveillance, high-level intelligence leaking, and tireless news coverage, the public was led to believe that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the election. Not one to sit passively through an onslaught, President Trump fought back in his tumultuous way. Matters came to a head when he fired his FBI director and the resulting firestorm of partisan protest cowed the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel, whose seemingly limitless investigation bedeviled the administration for two years. Yet as months passed, concrete evidence of collusion failed to materialize. Was the collusion narrative an elaborate fraud? And, if so, choreographed by whom? They failed to forge a new Clinton administration. Will they succeed in bringing down President Trump?
