About this item

Follow the Money exposes the labyrinth of connections between D.C.’s slimiest swamp creatures - Democrat operatives, lying informants, desperate, and destructive FBI agents, Obama power brokers, CIA renegade John Brennan, George Soros, and more - who conspired to attack Trump by manufacturing one bogus scandal after another.

Best-selling author, podcast favorite, and Fox News contributor Dan Bongino delivers the third and most shocking of his acclaimed series chronicling the deep state war against Donald Trump. Starting with the Trump impeachment hearings, Bongino works forward and backward to piece together the connections of a vast, well-funded cabal of wealthy Democrats and D.C. swamp elite to the non-stop deluge of manufactured scandals launched specifically to attack, destabilize, and ultimately remove Trump and his administration.

Zooming in on Ukraine, Bongino unspools a complex sequence of corruption - from the miraculous “discovery” of a mysterious black ledger that linked financial transactions to Trump campaign insider Paul Manafort and cast a shadow over the entire Trump team, to Joe Biden’s unexamined quid pro quo interference with Kyiv politics as he threatened to withhold a loan unless a prosecutor was removed from office.

Using FBI documents, Bongino reveals the outrageous actions of Robert Mueller’s investigators, who sat on evidence that proved the supposedly damning Trump Tower meeting between a Russian lawyer and senior campaign officials was nothing more than a twenty-minute waste of time for all involved.

Follow the Money displays dizzying detective work from a truly relentless, passionate, and patriotic reporter. An astonishing chronicle of the relentless war to destroy Donald Trump and his administration, this exposé is a must-listen for anyone who wants to unravel the most shocking and corrupt campaign to unseat a sitting president in American history.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Years of Dan Bongino's "Remember the Names," organized and simplified, a great read!

    Listeners to the Dan Bongino Show podcast (bongino.com for details) may sometimes struggle to keep up with all of the interconnections and schemes perpetrated by the denizens of the DC swamp and their foreign fellow travelers.
    In this book, he ties them all together, weaving the drips and drabs of information that have become known gradually over more than four years into a readily comprehensible whole. it is very readable, told in a narrative style, but interspersed with footnotes so you can delve into the original source material if you so choose. It is well researched and well documented.
    If you read the Kindle version, you can click on a footnote and quite often find a live link to the web version of the article or report cited. Dan also ties this saga in seamlessly to his previous two related books, "Spygate" and "Exonerated," both of which I highly recommend.
    There is an Audible narration available, read by Bongino (the entire book, not just the introduction). If you have both Kindle and Audible versions, you can try "immersion reading" where the narration and text keep pace with each other. Amazon's whispersync also allows you to switch between devices and never lose your place.
    Why read this book?
    The "Anti-Trump Cabal" and its activities, stunning as they are, are still only symptomatic of a deeper and more serious problem. This didn't all spring up the day that President Trump was elected, nor will it dissappear when he leaves the Whitehouse, whether on Innauguration Day in 2021 or 2025. The capacity for these abuses of power was honed over decades. It will not just go away.
    This is a cautionary tale for the ages about too much power being wielded by unelected and unaccountable officials who scoff at even Congressional oversight. Rules (such as the Woods Procedures for obtaining FISA warrants) meant to protect us all, while still letting agencies have tools to pursue terrorists and organized crime were ignored or circumvented. Foreign governments and individuals were utilized to gather information, largely to serve political ends.
    We need to be able to trust these agencies and that the rule of law applies equally in this country. Their actions have shaken that confidence. Exposing them is uncomfortable, but necessary.
    Bongino has employed the investigative skills he used as a Secret Service agent, handling multinational fraud and money laundering cases to do the one thing that can unravel the most complex schemes. He "Followed the Money." As more details drip-drip-drip out, keep this book handy to refer back to. It is a great read and a great reference book.
    Dan Bongino has done this country a great service in gathering and presenting this material. It is a labor of love, love for this country, love for his audience and love for his family, for whom he wants to preserve the freedoms we hold so dear. Share it with the people you care about.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ~~Another Stellar Read...~~

    This is the second book I have read that was written by Mr. Bongino. It is written extremely well and the author has end notes that verify his written words. When reading this book, it was almost like a fictionalized account of corruption. How in the world did portions of our00governemnt sink to being so corrupt and evil? It actually made me sad to read some parts of it.

    Being a Chief Petty Officer, USN, Ret, I was particularly interested in the chapter concerning General Michael Flynn. This chapter contains so many familiar names.....President Obama, McCabe, Yates, Rice, Kislyak, and so many more ..up to and including Judge Sullivan. This is still not resolved despite the efforts of Gen. Flynn's Attorney Powell. This chapter includes not only the events that occurred but also contains the 'why'. Three separate setups are also explained in detail. Seriously, it reads like something out of a fictionalized script for a movie...

    Starting in the Ukraine, the author illustrates the corruption and sets the tone for the remainder of his book. Am still shaking my head over some of the details that are provided.

    Many topics are covered including the attacks against Trump. All of the pieces are tied neatly together by the conclusion of this one. The entire gamut of corruption we have been living through these past few years is covered.

    Another stellar read by this author and facts are presented...not lies. Truly appreciate the research that went into the writing of this book.

    Most highly recommended.

    This book, once again, holds relevance due to the outrageous spending by the USAID. Dan meticulously dissects the issue in this exceptionally well-written book.

    I acquired this book back in 2020, and the chapter titled “Follow the Money” delves into the absurd government waste and spending, including the infamous piggy bank in Ukraine.

    Bongino lays out all the facts in this compelling read! Stunning abuses of power by the corrupt power brokers in our government. McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Obama, CIA, FBI, the list of corruption is quite lengthy. I had to read it twice just to get all the details and connections. Well-done book!
