Narrator: What if the very institutions designed to uphold justice and protect the nation—the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice—were secretly working to overturn a democratic election? What if the news media, Hollywood, and even members of the president’s own party were all part of a coordinated effort to sabotage a sitting president? This isn't the plot of a political thriller; it's the central argument presented by former judge and prosecutor Jeanine Pirro. In her book, Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy, Pirro lays out what she describes as a deliberate and unprecedented campaign to undermine the presidency of Donald Trump and, by extension, the will of the American people who elected him.

Narrator: Pirro’s core argument is that a "Deep State"—a coalition of high-ranking officials from the Obama administration, intelligence agencies, and federal law enforcement—orchestrated a plot to first prevent Donald Trump from winning the 2-16 election and then to cripple his presidency. She identifies figures like CIA Director John Brennan and National Security Advisor Susan Rice as key players who allegedly abused their power to target the Trump campaign.

The most critical tool in this alleged conspiracy was the infamous Steele dossier. Pirro explains that this collection of salacious and unverified claims was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The book details how the FBI, under the leadership of James Comey and Andrew McCabe, then used this politically-motivated document as the primary basis to obtain a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page, a volunteer for the Trump campaign. Pirro argues this was a profound deception. The FBI allegedly failed to disclose the dossier's true political origins to the secret FISA court, instead presenting it as credible intelligence. This act, she contends, was not just a procedural error but a deliberate attempt to legitimize spying on a rival political campaign, creating the illusion of a crime—Russian collusion—where none existed.

Narrator: According to Pirro, the "Deep State" conspiracy is amplified by two powerful allies: the mainstream media and Hollywood. She argues that the media's treatment of President Trump is not just biased but constitutes an active campaign of "Fake News." The book contrasts the media's past adoration of Trump as a businessman—praising him for projects like the Wollman Rink renovation in New York City—with their relentless negativity once he entered politics. A Pew Research Center study is cited, which found that 62 percent of news coverage about Trump was negative, a figure far higher than for his predecessors.

Pirro also turns her fire on Hollywood, labeling its elites as hypocrites who preach morality while ignoring corruption in their own ranks, epitomized by the Harvey Weinstein scandal. She argues that Hollywood has become a "brainwashing machine," embedding far-left, anti-Trump messages into popular TV shows. As an example, the book points to the cancellation of Tim Allen's popular sitcom Last Man Standing, a show with a conservative-leaning perspective. Pirro posits that the show was cancelled by ABC not for low ratings, but because it dared to challenge the liberal orthodoxy that dominates the entertainment industry.

Narrator: Pirro argues that the opposition to Trump doesn't just come from the outside; it also comes from within his own party. She dedicates significant attention to criticizing what she calls "RINOs," or Republicans In Name Only. These are establishment Republicans, like former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whom she accuses of betraying the president and the voters who elected him.

A prime example of this betrayal, according to the book, was the 2018 Omnibus Spending Bill. Pirro asserts that despite controlling Congress, Republican leadership passed a massive spending bill that failed to fund one of Trump's key campaign promises: the border wall. Instead, it continued to fund programs opposed by Trump's base, such as sanctuary cities and Planned Parenthood. Pirro frames this not as a simple policy disagreement, but as a deliberate act of sabotage by a Republican establishment more loyal to the "Swamp" than to their own president's agenda. This internal resistance, she claims, is a critical reason why implementing the "America First" platform has been such an uphill battle.

Narrator: To make her political arguments personal, Pirro focuses on the real-world consequences of policies she opposes, particularly the "sanctuary city" movement. The book powerfully recounts the tragic story of Kathryn "Kate" Steinle, a 32-year-old woman who was shot and killed in San Francisco in 2015. Her killer was an undocumented immigrant who had been deported five times and had a long criminal record. He had been released from a San Francisco jail just months before the murder, despite a request from federal immigration authorities to hold him for deportation.

Pirro uses this heartbreaking case to argue that sanctuary city policies prioritize the protection of criminals over the safety of innocent American citizens. She contends that these policies, championed by liberal politicians, create a dangerous environment where preventable tragedies occur. The story of Kate Steinle, collapsing in her father's arms on a pier, becomes a symbol of what Pirro sees as the deadly consequences of placing political ideology above the rule of law and public safety.

Narrator: A recurring theme in the book is what Pirro calls the "Trump Boomerang"—the idea that attacks against the president often backfire and end up harming the attackers instead. She provides several examples to illustrate this phenomenon. When NFL players began kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice, Trump's sharp criticism was decried as divisive. However, Pirro argues, it resonated with millions of Americans who felt the protests were disrespectful to the flag. The result was a boomerang: the NFL's ratings and attendance plummeted, while other sports that embraced patriotism saw a surge in popularity.

Another example is Kanye West's public support for President Trump. The immediate backlash from the media and the Left was intense, but it boomeranged. The controversy sparked a national conversation, and Pirro claims it broke a "spell of intimidation" in minority communities, encouraging others to voice their independent thoughts. In Pirro's view, these boomerangs happen because Trump's opponents consistently underestimate his connection with the American people and the power of his unfiltered, populist message.

Narrator: Ultimately, Liars, Leakers, and Liberals presents a stark and uncompromising worldview. Its single most important takeaway is that the political turmoil surrounding the Trump presidency is not simply partisan squabbling, but a calculated war waged by a permanent political class—the "Deep State"—to preserve its power against a populist outsider. Jeanine Pirro argues that this coalition of political operatives, intelligence officials, and media figures has weaponized the very institutions of government in an attempt to nullify an election.

The book leaves the reader with a profound challenge: to look beyond the headlines and question the official narratives presented by those in power. It asks whether the constant chaos is a product of the president's character, as the media suggests, or the result of a relentless, coordinated attack from an establishment that refuses to cede control. Pirro’s case is a call to arms, urging citizens to recognize that the fight, as she frames it, is for nothing less than the future of American democracy itself.
