I knew the Obama's and Clintons hated each other but not how deep it wentBy UniquelyroosReceived the Kindle version yesterday and stayed up till 3am finishing it. Explains so much about the FBI investigation and Comey.I knew the Obama's and Clintons hated each other but not how deep it went. Obama also hates Comey ("worst mistake of his Presidency") and initially wanted FBI to recommend indictment... But he couldn't convince Biden to run. Thus the flip and reluctant phony endorsement for Hillary. Now BO is campaigning for her as if he's running for a third term.Hillary cusses like a drunken sailor in private and the book reveals the dysfunctional Clinton family and the true nature of Chelsea - Wow. And of course there's Hillary's weird relationship withHuma...It's been a long time since I read a book in one day. Seeing what Trump is up against (Trump covered briefly); it will be a miracle if he gets elected. But I still believe in miracles...347 of 385 people found the following review helpful. No Indictment??????By L. MageeI started this book yesterday; and finished it this morning. Once you start it; you will find yourself not wanting to put it down.I wanted not only answers; but what went on behind the scenes as to "WHY" no indictment.I was one of many who watched James Comey make his case in listing everything his team of investigators found out during the year long investigation of Hillary's home server; and her reckless mishandling of some of our Country's most sensitive Classified info; along with her personal stuff.When Comey concluded that there would be no indictment; my mouth totally dropped. I wanted to know how could he reach this conclusion??When you read this book; the author lays out precise interviews of those close to the Clintons; and events as they unfolded.I was so angry at Comey; and thought he lacked the courage and "other" things (ahem) to appear as to not standing up for the Laws; and caving in to political pressure. By reading this book; you will find out exactly "who" and "why" Comey had to do a total 180 and allow Hillary a pass.I'm still angry at Comey for not doing the right thing; and standing for the Laws and not Politics! Hillary brought this on herself; and it isn't a right -wing conspiracy; political theater; or waste of taxpayers money; to get to the truth. We need answers; and not have those close to Hillary taking the "5th"; Whenever; I hear that; I can't help but think "what are they hiding?"Anyone who doesn't agree; needs to see how dangerous it is for America to go down this road. It shouldn't matter if you are a Democrat;NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW!!!!!229 of 254 people found the following review helpful. As a voter in the United States; I believe ...By CustomerAs a voter in the United States; I believe that this book tells a story of the corruption present within our political system today. While the major focus of this work is spotlighting the actions of a few individuals; it shines a light on the pervasiveness of immorality which dominates our news almost every day.
