NEW BOOK CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP WILL RUN AND WIN IN 2024!

A riveting account of the HOAX that sent a presidential campaign chairman to solitary confinement because he wouldn’t turn against the President of the United States.

The chief weapon deployed by the government-corporate-media Establishment against the Trump presidency was propaganda. Time and again, allegations from anonymous sources were disseminated by a partisan media, promoted by a dishonest Democrat Party leadership, and ultimately debunked when the facts surfaced. But by the time the truth came out, it was too late. There had already been casualties.

One of the highest profile casualties was Paul Manafort.

Desperate to defeat Donald Trump—or hamper his presidency after he won—Democrats and their Establishment allies colluded with foreign operatives to concoct a completely false narrative about Paul’s supposed conspiracy with pro-Russian elements in Ukraine to further Vladimir Putin’s efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election. But it wasn’t just defamation of Paul’s character. They took the unprecedented step of enlisting the US intelligence and law enforcement communities in using their power against President Trump and his campaign team.

Political Prisoner finally exposes the lies left unchallenged by media who pronounced Paul guilty long before his case ever saw the inside of a courtroom. Not only is it untrue that Victor Yanukovych or any of Paul’s clients were “pro-Putin,” it is the opposite of the truth. Paul’s work in Ukraine and throughout his career was 100 percent aligned with US interests in the countries he worked in, sometimes even acting as a back channel for the White House itself.

Neither was Paul guilty of laundering money, evading taxes, or deliberately deceiving the US government by failing to register as a foreign agent—which he wasn’t. These were all politically motivated charges manufactured by the Special Counsel’s team for one reason and one reason only: to get Paul to testify against Donald Trump about a conspiracy that never existed. When they hear the basis of these spurious charges, Americans will wonder what country they are living in and what has happened to our system of justice.

Political Prisoner tells the real story of Paul’s life and career, exploding the lies about his work in Ukraine, his previous work with foreign governments and business interests in other countries, his involvement with the Trump campaign, and the “process crimes” for which he was wrongly convicted and sent to prison. It is no exaggeration to say that everything most Americans think they know about Paul Manafort is false.

A Truly Awakening Book

While I knew about many of the subjects expressed in this book, what is truly amazing is how leftists are so willing to destroy anyone’s life that gets in the way of their agenda. Also, how could all this happen in the USA.

Fantastic Book

Political Prisoner is a definite must read. I found it to be a very interesting book. Paul Manafort has great political knowledge and experience, but I found his personal experience with the judicial and prison system made his story unlike other political books. Hopefully, he is able to turn the unlawful, vindictive experience he had with our political system into good for others. He comes across as a very personable, intelligent, compassionate and faith filled man. I wish him and his family only the best in life.

Excellent Read/Listen

Among other things, this book is a searing indictment of corruption within our system of justice. Mr. Manafort deserves a lot of credit. He admitted to the mistakes he made, and took responsibility for them. That is more than I can say for his persecutors. But he refused to bow to the pressures, put upon him by totally unethical prosecutors and judges, who weren’t interested in justice. Those prosecutors and judges were only interested in their own political agendas. DOJ prosecutor Andrew Weissmann has a long history of unethical behavior. A number of his high profile convictions have been reversed on appeal because he conducted himself in the most egregiously unethical manner, IMHO. And that wasn’t any different for Paul Manafort. Why Andrew Weissmann is still allowed to practice law is beyond my comprehension. Nevertheless, Paul Manafort proved he was a better man than Andrew Weissmann will ever be. Mr. Manafort has a great deal to be thankful for, and chief among those things, are his family. This book explains in great detail what happens to you when the federal government is out to get you, and they use the most unethical means at their disposal to destroy your life and the lives of your family. I wish I could say that Manafort’s account of the behavior of Mr. Weissman and Judge Berman-Jackson is a story I’ve never heard before. Unfortunately, many others have recounted similar experiences with these two depraved individuals. We can only hope that we live in a country where people like them can be removed from their positions and replaced with others with fidelity to their oaths as their only agenda.

What an eye opener

My heart brakes at how evil controls our country. Your story made me sick to my stomach and cry at the same time. I have watch as the same thing has happened to folks just trying to live out their constitutional freedoms in this country. Evil will not prevail because Light has entered the world and the darkness can not dispel it. Thank you for setting an example just like Paul did in the New Testament. Stay strong and courageous know God has the final word

Another Weismann victim

If you ever wondered how the DOJ operates, read this book. Paul is a good writer, he is smart, he is insightful, and he is able to make the process come alive . .... and there are little plus items like Paul's description of his coming to love daily Bible readings and his involvement with prisoner education while incarcerated. I liked that he and a guard decided to start a course for prisoners on "how to be a good dad". That's a course every prison should offer.

Not totally accurate

His perspective is not all the truth about the prison system. I know from experience at that particular prison. I liked hearing about how he became where he was in his career.
