About this listen

Former congressman and current Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz explains how we ended up with a politicized federal bureaucracy that actively works to promote the Democratic Party's agenda and undermine Donald Trump.

The liberal media loves to characterize the Obama years as free of scandal. They pretend this is true because virtually every office in the executive branch worked to withhold evidence of wrongdoing, silence witness testimony, destroy federal records, classify embarrassing information, and retaliate against truth tellers. Yet these same tight-lipped lifers leaked like a sieve once President Trump was sworn in, freely promoting the illusion that everything he does is the new Watergate.

Sometimes, even conservatives portray the deep state as nothing more than dumb, inefficient bureaucracy. In fact, it’s the opposite; the deep state is intentional, unconstitutional, and organized.

In Deep State, Jason Chaffetz reveals an entrenched leadership within the civil service that resists exposure, accountability, and responsibility. At the highest levels, they fight back, outlast, and work the system for their own advantage. And they certainly don’t like disruptive forces such as Donald Trump.

As chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Chaffetz was the tip of the spear challenging the deep state and trying to hold them accountable. He and his colleagues took on the powerful forces at the IRS, the EPA, the DOJ, the Department of State, and more. The deeper he dove in, the more shocking he found the brazen approach by the power brokers.

The balance of power has shifted. The deep state has gotten used to operating anonymously and without consequence. This is a problem bigger than we can even imagine and getting worse. Unless we do something dramatic to wrest back control, we risk losing the ability to successfully challenge wrongdoing by the most powerful bureaucracy in the world.

In Deep State, Chaffetz highlights the deep state’s tactics, illuminates the problems, and offers a way to fight back and win. It is important to expose the stories, but if the American people are going to win, Congress is going to have to do things differently.

This audiobook helps the concerned citizen understand what must be done - so they can demand real change.

This is the kind of book for college kids

Mr Chaffetz wrote a book that should be read by every incoming freshman in colleges aound the country. Maybe realizing that someone is presenting them with undeniable truths through facts that can be traced with alittle bit of time and effort, they would be forced to think that maybe the left may not always be telling them the whole truth and never the truth.

All the truth in one book.

Jason Chaffetz lays out in detail what the deep state is, and the egregious acts it has done and continues to do. You could spend hours upon watching YouTube videos of Jason in Congress, and still only get a small window of understanding compared to the comprehensive accountings in this book. What you'll hear will leave you shocked, dismayed, and angry at how far off the path of liberty, justice, and truth our founding fathers set us on 242 years ago.

Highly recommended.

Educate yourself

Don't vote in 2020 as a sheep! Get educated by real people with experience! Chaffetz does not tell this story completely down party lines-which is refreshing. The Deep State is the enemy of the American people. Read this book to find out why.

Jason Chaffetz is a true American Patriot.

You can feel the honesty in this book. And as unfortunate as it is these recollections are true, Jason has the courage and motivation to share the truth of what he experienced in his tenure. Now we need to use what he has given us and start making changes.

Scary truth

This book tells of the corruption that is rampant in our Government! We thought the days of Al Capone were bad, things are worse now because the media is part of the cover-up. We are in trouble if we don't get back to what our Founding Fathers fought for.

Several new stories that show even more corruption

hard to believe Chaffetz saw so much corruption in a relatively short time. just another indicator that we need to fix Washington DC.
