Book in Review: Rogue Spooks - The Secret Intelligence Plot to Destroy Donald Trump by Dick Morris, Eileen McGann
2017-08-23
[B&N] In Rogue Spooks, bestselling authors Dick Morris and Eileen McGann uncover the facts behind allegations of foreign meddling in the 2016 presidential election. This groundbreaking exposé will leave readers questioning the motives of U.S. Intelligence agencies, leftover partisans within our government, and members of the mainstream press.

Donald Trump's first 100 days in office were roiled by allegations of treasonous contacts between his campaign team and the Kremlin to rig the election. These outrageous charges first surfaced in the notorious "Trump Dossier," an unverified document of suspect provenance, full of wild and salacious accusations.

This dossier--filled with little more than gossip, rumor, and innuendo‐‐was compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative who teamed up with the FBI and anti-Trump partisans. Hillary Clinton supporters paid for Steele’s work.

When no news media would publish the unverified dossier, the ex-spook enlisted the help of a former UK ambassador to Russia, who arranged in turn for a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State to get the document to Senator John McCain, in the hope that he would then bring it to FBI Director James Comey’s attention. McCain did just that.

Comey himself played a critical role in the dossier ultimately going public, giving a confidential summary to President Obama and Congressional leaders. It was immediately leaked by rogue spooks in order to demean, destabilize, and destroy Donald Trump’s nascent presidency.

The dossier and this mythical intelligence are the basis for the phony claims about a Russia/Trump collusion to steal the election. No proof was found. No substantiation uncovered. Even Comey told Trump he was not under investigation for the Russian meddling charges.

But that didn’t end the leaks or the allegations. Working in concert with liberal news outlets, these rogue spooks have formed a new intel/media complex that threatens our democracy. Rogue Spooks will reveal how it works.

Readers will be shocked to learn the truth about the false accusations against President Trump in the flawed dossier. They’ll be interested to know how leaks to the media fueled the phony scandal, and how intelligence agencies will try to use the newly appointed special prosecutor to oust President Trump.

They will also learn what we can do--specifically--to stop them.

#6  In this case, it's too many characters in the file name. Most system cannot handle more than 256 characters in the file name.

That's why it's best to use the original image URL rather than Google URL.

#5  For reasons I do not at all understand, Besoeker's image did not show up in the article on my iPad, although the outline around it did. But pasting Seeking cure's URL into the HTML string let me see the same image in the article that is in his comment.

Beyond that, I cannot say.

#2  Please do not copy URLs from google images. Instead, when you find an image you want, click on "view image" instead, then copy that URL. Google image URLs tend to be very large and most websites cannot display properly.

Here's the corrected image:
