Proof of Collusion, Seth Abramson

Proof of Collusion: How Trump Betrayed America
Proof of Collusion: How Trump betrayed America by Seth Abramson is a book that I came to slowly and only decided to buy after the Mueller Report had been released.  I have read too many of Seth Abramson's tweets and consider him to be a reasonable person with insight on this issue.

Words for which I sought help:

inculpatory -- implying or imputing guilt

Review:

Seth Abramson provides the long view...from 2013 to late 2018, he demonstrates why and how Trump engaged in collusion.  The motive seems to be personal gain.  Anyone who says that there was no collusion should have to read this thoroughly documented book.  There are footnotes to reflect virtually every sentence.

"Whatever happens, America--which has been spiritually, psychologically, and politically paralyzed by Trump's toxic insinuation into its culture--will continue in a state of paralysis that won't be broken until Trump's exit from American life."  About sums it up.  Abramson names names, he spells out sequences of events, and he identifies the endless lies, misdirections, and conflicting responses that have characterized the people around Trump who were directly involved in the collusion.

It is likely that Trump colluded directly and it is undeniable that his campaign did.  It seems highly unlikely that his campaign did these things without Trumps knowledge and approval.  Worth the read and it will be on my shelf as a reference until Trump exits American life.
