The answer might be: it was hard to see the whole picture. The stories coming in from around the globe have often seemed fantastical: clandestine meetings in foreign capitals, secret recordings in a Moscow hotel, Kremlin agents infiltrating the Trump inner circle...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Seth Abramson has tracked every one of these far-flung reports and now, in \u003ci\u003eProof of Collusion\u003c\/i\u003e, he finally gives us a record of the unthinkable - a president compromising American foreign policy in exchange for the promise of future business and covert election assistance. The attorney, professor and former criminal investigator has used his exacting legal mind and forensic acumen to compile, organise and analyse every piece of the Trump-Russia story. His conclusion is clear: \u003cb\u003ethe case for collusion is staring us in the face\u003c\/b\u003e. Drawing from American and European news outlets, he takes readers through the Trump-Russia scandal chronologically, putting the developments in context and showing how they connect. His extraordinary march through all the public evidence includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eHow Trump\u003c\/b\u003e worked for thirty years to expand his real estate empire into Russia even as he \u003cb\u003ewas rescued from bankruptcy by Putin's oligarchs\u003c\/b\u003e and Kremlin agents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * How Russian intelligence gathered \u003cb\u003ecompromising material\u003c\/b\u003e on him over multiple trips.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * How \u003cb\u003eTrump recruited Russian allies and business partners while running for president\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * How he surrounded himself with advisers who engaged in \u003cb\u003eclandestine negotiations with Russia\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * How Trump aides and family members held \u003cb\u003esecret meetings \u003c\/b\u003ewith foreign agents and lied about them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By pulling every last thread of this complicated story together, Abramson argues that - even in the absence of a Congressional investigation or a report from Special Counsel Mueller - the \u003cb\u003epublic record already indicates a quid pro quo between Trump and the Kremlin\u003c\/b\u003e. The most extraordinary part of the case for collusion is that so much of \u003cb\u003eit unfolded in plain sight\u003c\/b\u003e.","brand":"Abramson, Seth","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":49862978208083,"sku":"XV81471182396","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":49298917130579,"sku":"9781471182396","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/abramson-seth-seth-abramson-proof-of-collusion-2018-paperback-9781471182396-58566196429139.jpg?v=1732720716","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/seth-abramson-proof-of-collusion-2018-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
