The Plot Against the President

I found this documentary by chance because it was not promoted at all upon its release. I get why the major media networks would ignore it. It is very much an indictment if the way that they have behaved in the last 4 years.

It is a very straightforward documentary told from the point of view of congressman Devin Nunes. It chronicles his investigation of the various attempts to link the new Trump administration with collusion with Russia in the 2016 election. It also deals heavily with the framing of General Michael Flynn. The film contends that he was a threat to the intelligence community as the incoming National Security Advisor to the new president. It is pointed out by the very people involved how this man was railroaded and how the FBI obtained FISA warrants through lying and omission. The interviews are very straightforward and informative. It is truly disturbing that the beauracracy can wield the power to ruin someone and undermine a president. But the film takes big issue with the media. How the media was complicit in pushing the narrative of corruption and Russia collusion to hurt President Trump. The way that they took any story that would hurt the President and push it without caring if there was any evidence at all to support the allegations. It is truly disturbing to see a media that is supposed to be a watchdog of the government just push whatever narrative that would hurt a president they hated. I wish the film would have gone deeper and explored the story even more.

I get that most people's opinions on this documentary will depend on their politics but it shouldn't. What seems to have been done here is criminal and shouldn't matter what party you support to see that this whole thing was corrupt and is the kind of thing that shouldn't happen in a free country. Anyone with intelectual honesty should be horrified.

Not be ok with it because you don't like who won in 2016.

Grade: B

Very interesting to find out the players behind all of the information and misinformation coming out of Washington DC and mainstream media.

This documentary spelled out clearly in chronological order how attempts were made to overthrow the President.

I'm amazed that after all this evidence, not a single person has been questioned or indicted regarding this coup attempt.

To anyone dismissing this remember it's all fun and games when it's against someone you dislike but history tells us these things will quickly turn against someone you do like, then it won't be so entertaining.

Anyone rating this a "1" clearly did not watch it. They obviously based it on pure emotion out of their hatred for the former President. So let's get out of the way that I am an Independent with liberal, conservative, and moderate positions depending upon the subject.

You know like MOST Americans.

Now as I was watching this, Edward Snowden came to mind. This was precisely the type of thing he did not want to happen, sacrificing everything to prevent it. And here we have a President who was clearly the victim of it. If they can do this to the President of the United States absolutely no one is immune. Doesn't matter the political affiliation, race, gender, religion, or ethnicity. That, more than anything else, should be the takeaway here. Once a Monster is created no one can control it. That means sooner or later it will be coming for you too.

Pretending it did not occur, or cheering because it happened to someone you do not like is absolutely insane.

This is a very well produced documentary featuring interviews from all the major players in the disgustingly corrupt attempt to oust the duly elected President of the United States.

It goes through the whole episode in a linear, easy to follow narrative that lays out, time after time, how deceitful the Dems were and how complicit the Media was in pushing this steaming pile of BS.

Well worth checking out.
