I interviewed Andrew McCarthy about his new book, "Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency," because it is a critically important read for thoughtful people.

"This is a story about hubris," is how it begins.

Thoughtful people know that for all our grand monuments carved of granite and marble, a republic is an extremely fragile thing. Especially now, as a cynical establishment seeks restoration, as establishment Kemalist bureaucrats run for cover, and as the divisions in our nation widen and public discourse sounds like rival packs of angry barking dogs.

And in a few weeks, sooner perhaps, the dogs will begin barking even louder upon release of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on his investigation of possible Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses by the Justice Department and the FBI as they looked into Donald Trump and Russia.

She said Obama insisted that everything they were doing was done "by the book."

Who talks like that, unless it's someone covering their behinds?

The real collusion was that the Obama administration put the awesome powers of the federal government -- law enforcement and intelligence -- at the service of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

The scheme to get Clinton elected had two parts, McCarthy argues. The first was to shield former Secretary of State Clinton from disqualifying and potentially criminal allegations that she violated federal law by having a private unsecured email server and later destroyed the evidence.

And, as an insurance policy, the other part of the scheme was to portray Trump as an agent of Russia's Vladimir Putin.
