Obsession: Inside the Washington Establishment’s Never-Ending War on Trump

Contact Your Elected Officials

โ€œAn electric page-turner that reads like a thriller.โ€ โ€” MOLLIE HEMINGWAY

โ€œNo prominent journalist covered the story as completely as Byron York. Obsession . . . is a definitive history and a cautionary tale.โ€ โ€” ANDREW C. McCARTHY

From the moment Donald Trump was elected presidentโ€”even before he was inauguratedโ€”Democrats called for his impeachment. That call, starting on the margins of the party and the press, steadily grew until it became a deafening media and Democratic obsession. It culminated first in the Mueller reportโ€”which failed to find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing on the part of the presidentโ€”and then in a failed impeachment.

And yet,ย even now, the Democrats and their media allies insist that President Trump must be guilty ofย something.

Theyย stillย accuse him of being a Russian stooge and an obstructer of justice. They claim he was โ€œnot exoneratedโ€ by the Mueller report.

But the truth, as veteran reporter Byron York makes clearโ€”using his unequaled access to sources inside Congress and the White Houseโ€”is that Democrats and the media were gripped by an anti-Trump hysteria that blinded them to reality.

In a fast-moving story of real-life Washington intrigue, York reveals:

  • Why Donald Trumpโ€”at firstโ€”resisted advice to fire FBI director James Comey
  • The strategy behind the Trump defense teamโ€™s full cooperation with Muellerโ€™s investigatorsโ€”and how they felt betrayed by Mueller
  • How the Mueller team knew very early in the investigation that there was no evidence of โ€œRussian collusionโ€
  • Why the Trump defense team began to suspect that Mueller was not really in charge of the special counsel investigation
  • Why Nancy Pelosi gave up trying to restrain her impeachment-obsessed party
  • Why Trumpโ€™s lawyersโ€”certain of his innocence in the Mueller investigationโ€”were even less worried about the Democrats’ Ukraine investigation

Byron York takes you inside the deliberations of the presidentโ€™s defense counsel, interviews congressional Republicans who were shocked at the extremism of their Democratic colleaguesโ€”and resolute in opposing themโ€”and draws an unforgettable portrait of an administration under siege from an implacableโ€”andย obsessedโ€”opposition party.
