Publisher's Summary

“George Papadopoulos was the whole reason for the Trump Russia investigation.” (Rep. Mark Meadows, R - NC) 

Deep State Target is the only firsthand account that proves the attempted sabotage of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign by American and international intelligence services, from former Trump advisor George Papadopoulos - whose global network, clandestine meetings about Hillary Clinton’s hacked emails, and rift with former Attorney General Jeff Sessions made him the first target of Spygate, the Mueller Investigation, and the Russian Collusion Hoax. 

As a young, ambitious foreign policy advisor to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, Papadopoulos became the first Trump official to plead guilty in special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He is now the first campaign advisor sentenced and to have served time in prison. But as he explains in Deep State Target, there was an intricate set up at play, and it was neither Trump nor the Russians pulling the strings. American and allied intelligence services set out to destroy a Trump presidency before it even started. An energy policy consultant working for the insurgent campaign, Papadopoulos encountered a rogues’ gallery of infamous figures employed by agents from the US, Britain, and Australia. Here, he gives the play-by-play of how operatives like Professor Joseph Mifsud, Sergei Millian, Alexander Downer, and Stefan Halper worked to invent a Russian conspiracy that would irreparably damage the Trump administration. Papadopoulos was there: In secret meetings across the globe, on city streets being tailed by agents, watching Jeff Sessions make false statements under oath about a strategy session he attended, and ultimately being interrogated by Mueller’s team and agreeing to a guilty plea. 

Deep State Target is a shocking account of international spy games and a disturbing eyewitness report on a secret double government - the Deep State - intent on destroying lives and a presidency.

Fascinating story. Performance just ok.

Perhaps it's just the benefit of experience and more up to date information, but I found Mr Papadopoulos to be rather naive. It was obvious from the start he was being set up but perhaps ambition and youth blinded him to the fact.

Also, he's a little too obsessed with himself and his interests, and apparently not aware of the wider aspects of his case. Though that could just be that we now have far more information about the "Steele dossier" and FBI maladministration.

What is glaringly obvious is that Papadopoulos was specifically set up in order to damage the Trump campaign and presidency (he came up with other rather odd conclusions). Also obvious is that the international "deep state" is largely incompetent, but able to act pretty well with impunity so their incompetence is seldom called to account. We can only hope future investigations change things for the better. Though I doubt it.

Fascinating story

This story, though true, reads like a script form a spy movie! The only negative is the style of the narrator. After listening to Mark Steyn’s interview of George Papadopulos, I felt that Dan Bittner used too much of a sneering, sarcastic tone compared to George's demeanor in the interview. This detracted form the story, in my opinion. But that said - this is a must read book for understanding the US political situation.

Corruption Exposed

Muller's investigation was kept alive long enough to hurt the Republicans in the mid terms.
