Go To

An Alternate History novel by Ira Tabankin.

In 2012, shortly after the attack on the American embassy to Libya, in Benghazi, a CIA operative is able to recover the remains of a cell phone circuit board with intact cards, and records of Ambassador Stevens final phone conversations with the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and the Pentagon. In particular the part where the President expressed, through the Secretary of State, that he could not stage a rescue without risking it becoming known what the ambassador was doing there. This CIA agent, after hearing the recordings, is murdered by his superiors.

A few years later, an rookie NSA computer operator, Linda Anderson, discovers security footage of the agent's debrief and murder while clearing space on the agency's computers for a new super-surveillance program. She leaks the footage on the internet, leading to a general call for articles of impeachment against President Obama for murder, perjury and treason, as well as criminal charges filed against Hillary Clinton in the early stages of her presidential run.


The Impeachment Of Barack Obama contains examples of:

  • Big Brother Is Watching: The Ismael program, designed to infect every computer with an internet connection with an untraceable government keylogger.
  • The Conspiracy: To murder Ambassador Stevens and cover up the events of Benghazi.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Once again averted by Tabankin, once again so Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton can be the villains of the piece.
