Project Spygate Truths: The Backstory

---

It's November 2017. I was enjoying retirement, but I was fed up with the phony Russian Collusion story. I thought I should do something. But what? I'm just an old TV News reporter without a TV station to broadcast my work. I'd worked at Channel 7, the ABC affiliate in Washington, D.C., for more than a decade. I covered a lot of national stories, but those were mostly about the economy. I reported only now and then from the White House during the administrations of Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush. And that was forever ago. My White House Press Pass had long since expired. I was pushing 70 and didn't have any sources. Still, I felt I had to do SOMETHING. 

My Laptop, a Whiteboard, and the China Cabinet

So, I sat at my dining room table with my laptop and a whiteboard and started trying to piece together a story. I watched the TV news and downloaded interviews and news conferences featuring key players. (FBI Director James Comey pictured right) My notes grew beyond the whiteboard to include photos and documents taped all over the China cabinet. My wife walked in and asked, "What are you doing?" I said, "I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out." I read everything I could get my hands on, especially the Conservative Treehouse blog, where Sundance deserves a Pulitzer Prize for his work on Spygate. 

Assault on the Constitution

After three months of research, writing, and video editing, I produced two videos. Each was roughly seven minutes in length. I sent them to everyone in the news business who I thought might use them. Only the Conservative Treehouse did. That tipped off the One America News network, which called and asked, "Can you make a half-hour documentary for us?" I did. The title: Assault on the Constitution. In the years since, I followed up with dozens more reports for the Treehouse and a second documentary for the OAN network.
