Power Grab: The Liberal Scheme to Undermine Trump, the GOP, and Our Republic Kindle Edition

A New York Times Bestseller.

How much damage will the Democrats do to our republic in the name of saving it?

In the years he served on and eventually chaired the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Jason Chaffetz gained crucial insight into the inner workings of D.C. Things were bad then, but during the Trump administration, liberals have reached a new level of hysteria and misconduct.

Democrat anger has grown so irrational that it has burst through the constitutional guardrails which protect our institutions and our republic. While they constantly label the right “fascist,” the left imposes policies which suppress speech, limit freedom, and empower federal bullies.

In Power Grab, Chaffetz pulls back the curtain on the world of hypocrisy, political intrigue, and procedural malfeasance that is Washington D.C. With stories you won't read anywhere else, he shows how the left weaves false narratives, drums up investigations in search of a crime, and refuses to direct congressional oversight towards its appropriate target: the government. Democrats weaponize nonprofit advocacy groups and monetize partisan anger to line the pockets of their political allies. They use “voter enrollment” as a smokescreen to hide their plans to destabilize free elections and seek to politicize federal agencies like the Federal Election Commission, the IRS, and the Department of Justice.

It shouldn’t be this way. Democrats have abandoned the wisdom set forth in the Constitution for short-term political wins. Power Grab shows the lengths to which Democrats will go to maintain their grip on power, and how the only thing that will stop them is a return to our founding principles.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“In Power Grab, Jason Chaffetz takes us along his path toward a disturbing realization. Even as a seasoned political insider, he was taken aback by the post-Trump American reality in which news was quickly replaced by political theatre and little was as it appeared to be. An organic town hall meeting? It’s co-opted through a highly-organized and potentially dangerous scheme to control the narrative. Altruistic-sounding nonprofits? They’re actually creations intended to obscure donors and questionable motives. Chaffetz exposes a seedy world where a dizzying concoction of players work to manipulate the message— and we’re the target. In Power Grab, there are lessons for all of us, if we are willing to open our eyes.” — Sharyl Attkisson

“Power Grab will leave you wanting more. Long after you’ll be thinking about the implications of what Jason Chaffetz reveals in this stunning new account of Washington D.C. politics. Readers will never again take Democratic narratives at face value. The duplicity, the hypocrisy, and the flippancy with which they sacrifice the very foundational elements of our government must be fought on every level.” — Sara A. Carter

“Jason Chaffetz has consistently been in the fight and understands first hand just how power hungry the Democrats have become. Chaffetz lays out the case for how and why Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and their minions will do and say just about anything to tear down and smear hard-working, patriotic Americans that oppose their unrelenting desire to control our lives and press forward with their far-left agenda.” — Sean Hannity

    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019

    Nearly a year and counting, that is the length of time I have been reading books about the political climate in our country. My goal has been to try and figure out the reason for the hostility and downright hatred that, I feel, has developed. I admit I am getting older (in my 70’s now) but I don’t recall seeing or hearing anything like this previously. So, I read to broaden my knowledge and try and determine the cause for this hatred. One other thing is that I am a retired USN Chief Petty Officer and disrespect to our President (or the country) was never a thought that entered my mind.

    This book is the second one I have read by Mr. Chaffetz. The first one was 'The Deep State..." and was the starting point for me to read more....I do trust him and his credentials are impeccable including his experience as Former Congressman and also Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Yes, I do trust what he writes, without a doubt of any kind.

    As stated in the blurb some of the topics covered concerned the 'false narratives, the investigations in search of a crime, and voter enrollment'. For me, as a citizen, the polices which suppress speech were painful to read. I was also disgusted to read about the manner in which freedoms are attempted to be limited. Topics are indeed wide ranging and diverse.

    I was truly surprised to read how 'shady' the workings in DC are...I knew it but my goodness, some of these are incredible...including an overheard conversation on a train between Jerry Nadler, House Judiciary Committee Chairman, shortly after the 2018 midterm elections. He already had two strategies in place that concerned how to build an investigation around an outcome;...This concerned Brett Kavanaugh. There is a lot of information concerning this hearing included and some is new to me. The question of impeaching President Trump is also covered in detail...

    Another one which caught my eye was a couple of instances with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. I didn't realize that when a new Chair took over that that person has the option to reorganize that committee...Well, in this particular case, Senator Cummings actually changed the name and took out the word 'government'.. Interesting and mind=boggling. The second one concerning this committee is that a rule was changed...now when a deposition if taken, a member of Congress does not have to be present. I foresee a lot of testimony being taken in the future... And, two new committees were formed...one on the Environment and another one on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties...Interesting for the future election, I believe.

    What I took away from reading this excellent book was that there must be a protection of power. People must be willing to do their part and be part of the solution. We have the Constitution, we have the Bill of Rights Be careful, be very careful when listening to the narrative of the left. It definitely is a plan thought out a long time in advance.

    Found this book to be extremely well written with facts to back up the author's points. As he states at the end, 'get involved, engaged and educated'.

    Most highly recommended. And, I am glad that I purchased this and have it on my Kindle for future reference.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Illuminating & Revealing! The Congressional Culture- It is all about the News Cycle Not The Truth!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020

    After reading the introduction we now all know why Jason Chaffetz left his Congressional Utah 3rd district seat! This easy to read narrative provides a “bird’s eye view” of the on-goings of the legislative branch of the US government from an insider who after eight years of service still has many contacts to obtain information. This represents testimony of a person who has been there.

    Coincidentally, I purchase this book at the same time I purchased the film “ The Distinguished Gentleman.” The description outlined by the author regarding the US Congress presents very similar antics portrayed in the dark comedy film. The same shenanigans seem to occur in real life. No wonder why I and many dislike paying our federal income taxes! This is what we get, a non-credible institution!

    Halfway thru this work the reader views how the Democrats in the House are changing the rules of the institution to facilitate their embrace of radical and unpopular taxing & spending, compromising transparency to shield themselves from accountability to their voters and abuse their oversight authority over which they have no jurisdiction! Then the remainder of the book provides examples of this transformation which the author feels will adversely impact the country.

    Jason Chaffetz exposes and illuminates the world of corrupt politics at the congressional level. He reveals information the average reader has not been exposed to nor to me in my time on “The Hill.” Congressional Oversight is undermined and out of control with outcome driven investigations as an egregious abuse of power. According to Chaffetz, the oversight the House has taken since Nancy Pelosi has become speaker is outside its legal jurisdiction.

    Chapter eight is very revealing and remarkable regarding an overheard Jerry Nadler phone conversation on an Acela Train on November 7, 2018. In this recorded call by a reporter Nadler outlines justifiable congressional investigations and provides recommendations to impeach Supreme Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Here he allegedly proposed going after the FBI for mishandling the Kavanaugh background check then to attack Kavanaugh for perjury. Congress’s job is to oversee the government not private individuals then legislate to improve it. Without this there will be no opportunities to restore public trust in government.

    Although the book has no reference section, many of its references are internal and by my cross referencing, his material is accurate. In fact, I feel this product is a result of the arduous eight years of study he had acquired on various committees. After reading this book the reader will come away with the fact that Nancy Pelosi is not praying for Donald Trump! If she is, it is in a negative way! As a life long democrat, instead of not praying for her, I will stop giving to their fundraising and vote republican.

    This book is well written and informative. It merely reports what has gone on in congress and the pattern of this behavior is what is so amazing. People can hate Trump, but the most important thing he has done is to reveal the hypocritical and ruthless nature of many elected and appointed government employees. They love their benefits from the public trough and they love their own ideas. Loving their country is down on the list. That will ultimately bring its own curse.
