520 Matthew Whitaker came to Washington to serve as chief of
staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and following
Sessions's resignation, he was appointed Acting Attorney
General of the United States. A former football player at
the University of Iowa who had been confirmed by the
Senate as a U.S. Attorney, Whitaker was devoted to the
ideals of public service and the rule of law. But what he
found when he led the Department of Justice on behalf of
President Trump were bureaucratic elites with an agenda
all their own. The Department of Justice had been steered
off course by a Deep State made up of Washington insiders
who saw themselves as above the law. Recklessly inverting,
bending, and breaking the law to achieve their own
political goals, they relentlessly undermined the
Constitution by flaunting the rightful authority of a
President they despised. Whitaker was an outsider with a
desire to see justice done and democracy work. In his
straightforward new book, Above the Law, he provides a
stunning account of what he found in the swamp that is
Washington. Whitaker reveals: • How former FBI Director
James Comey and top figures in the Justice Department
openly worked against President Trump • How the Deep
State relies on the complicity of the mainstream media to
achieve its ends • How the Deep State--drawing on elite
universities and corporate law firms--perpetuates itself,
keeping a small clique of people in power to ensure that
nothing ever changes • How Robert Mueller's investigation
into alleged Russian collusion quickly concluded there was
no evidence of wrong- doing by the President or his
campaign but nevertheless produced a massive report that
was intended as an act of political subversion If you had
any doubts that the Deep State actually exists, that it
perpetuates a government of insiders, and that it
inexorably pursues a political agenda of its own, then you
will find Whitaker's first-person account eye-opening and
utterly convincing.
