Book Description
"Comey's Deceit" explores the actions of former FBI director Jamers Comey during the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server. Did the Mr. Comey cost Mrs. Clinton the 2016 Presidential election or did the former FBI director actually do everything in his power to absolve the former Secretary of State of any wrong doing. Were Mr. Comey's actions part of a preconceived plan--did James Comey in a calculated effort manipulate the FBI's probe? Why did the former FBI director insist on going public? More important, what if Mr. Comey had not gone public? Ultimately, "Comey's Deceit" takes a hard look into James Comey's motivation--was it merely to save his job?

Book Description
Was Hillary Clinton, while Secretary of State guilty of violating 18 USC 793, as it pertains to the handling of classified material? Or was the FBI probe into her private email server merely a political witch hunt? "Guilty" takes a hard look into the facts surrounding the FBI's investigation of Mrs. Clinton's private server. In the process, the statute governing the handling of controlled materials is demystified by putting 18 USC 793 into layman terms. What is the purpose of 18 USC 793? Effectively what is the letter of the law as well as the spirt of 18 USC 793? Did James Comey correctly interpret the law or did he use legal maneuvering to mislead the public? What evidence did the FBI actually collect?

Book Description
The FBI is suffering its worst crisis ever. The integrity and reputation built over a century is in jeopardy. In 2016, the FBI Director—along with several other senior executives from the Bureau and Justice Department—attempted to falsify one of the most significant presidential elections in American history. Retired FBI agent John Ligato takes you behind the scenes into the bowels of the Bureau’s culture and explains how it happened—and how to fix it. “John Ligato holds nothing back. I worked with him undercover and John is absolutely fearless whether it’s with some mob guy or a bogus bureaucrat. The Comey Gang is the definitive book how the FBI lost its way under James Comey.”—Joe Pistone, FBI Special Agent, Retired (aka ‘Donnie Brasco’) “I’ve supervised John Ligato and he’s one of a kind. His Marine Corps experience made him a tenacious and mission-oriented FBI agent. John was one of the Bureau’s best undercover operatives and I was always glad that John Ligato was part of my team.”—Anthony Daniels, FBI Assistant Director, Retired “I served with John Ligato in Vietnam. Lance Corporal Ligato was with the lead contingent of Marines into Hue City during the ’68 Tet Offensive. Though wounded several times, John refused medical evacuation and distinguished himself on the battlefield. Believe what he says.”—Major General Ray ‘E-Tool’ Smith, USMC, Retired

Book Description
"This book addresses a puzzle in policing: Honesty and good faith are important to the police institution, but so are deception, dishonesty, and bad faith. Drawing on legal and political philosophy-as well as empirical data and cases studies-the book examines how cooperative relations steeped in honesty and good faith are a necessity for any viable society. This is especially relevant to the police institution because the police are entrusted to promote justice and security. As with other state institutions, the police institution is supposed to be based on legitimacy. Legitimacy is a function of authority, which is grounded in reciprocal public relationships generating rights and duties. Despite the necessity of societal honesty and good faith, the police institution has embraced deception, dishonesty, and bad faith as tools of the trade for providing security. In fact, it seems that providing security is impossible without using deception and dishonesty during interrogations, undercover operations, pretextual detentions, and other common scenarios. The book addresses this puzzle by showing that many of our assumptions about policing and security are unjustified given fundamental norms of political morality regarding fraud, honesty, transparency, and the rule of law. Although there is a time and a place for the police's use of proactive deception and dishonesty, the book illustrates why the use of such tactics should be much more limited than current practices suggest-especially considering the erosion of public faith in the police institution and the weakening of the police's legitimacy"--

Book Description
The first comprehensive account that proves that James Comey threw the 2016 election to Donald Trump. “Compelling criticism…lapsed Trump supporters might well open their minds to this attorney’s scholarly, entirely convincing proof of the damage done” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). During the week of October 24, 2016, Hillary Clinton was decisively ahead of Donald Trump in most polls. Then FBI Director James Comey sent his infamous letter to Congress on October 28, saying the bureau was investigating additional emails, potentially relevant to the Hillary Clinton email case. In The Unmaking of the President 2016, attorney Lanny J. Davis shows how Comey’s misguided announcement—just eleven days before the election—swung a significant number of voters away from Clinton, winning Trump an Electoral College victory—and the presidency. Drawing on sources in the intelligence community and Justice Department, Davis challenges Comey's legal rationale for opening a criminal investigation of Clinton's email practices, questions whether Comey received sufficient Justice Department oversight, and cites the odd clairvoyance of Trump ally Rudolph Giuliani, who publicly predicted an "October surprise." Davis proves state by state, using authoritative polling data, how voter support for Clinton dropped after the Comey letter was made public, especially in key battleground states. Despite so many other issues in the election—Trump’s behavior, the Russian hacking, Clinton's campaign missteps—after the October 28 Comey letter, everything changed. Now Davis proves with raw, indisputable data how Comey’s October letter cost Hillary Clinton the presidency and America turned the course of history in the blink of an eye.

Book Description
GOP's Power Grab is the final installment of the "Collusion" series (First Premise, Treason), as such the summary of GOP's Power Grab takes the reader from one end of the "Collusion" storyline to the other, giving the reader a comprehensive overview of everything that has taken place. One of the more troubling aspects covered in GOP's Power Grab, the allegation of collusion was never based in fact. In truth, the GOP controlled Houses of Congress should never have pursued collusion--at least not as their first course of action. In reconciling the inconsistency of the SSCI (Senate Select Committed on Intelligence) engaging in collusion hearing; rather than following their mandate--of investigating the actual merit of President Obama's DNI, James Clapper, charge of Russian interference--it becomes evident the GOP'a intentions were never to discover the truth--rather it was an effort to wrest power away from President Trump. Sadly, the "Collusion Saga" and subsequent hearings have little to do with an actual crime--and everything to do with a struggle over power.

Book Description
The ‘Russiagate’ affair is one of the most far-reaching political events of recent years. But what exactly was the nature and extent of Russian interference in the campaign that led to the presidency of Donald J. Trump? Richard Sakwa sets out the dramatic series of events that combined to create Russiagate and examines whether together they form a persuasive account of Russia’s role in the extraordinary 2016 American election. Offering a meticulous account of the multiple layers in play, his authoritative analysis challenges the claims of Russian interference and collusion. As we enter into a new cold war, this myth-busting, accessible and balanced account is essential reading to understand contemporary East-West relations.

Book Description
Treason is the second offering in the 3 ebook (First Premise, GOP's Power Grab) "Collusion" series. It is also a compliment to the ebook "The Russian Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming." While, "The Russians Are Coming" and "Treason" tackle the same subject matter, they do it from very different perspectives. One of the new areas of inquiry covered in "Treason"--Why was the CIA the lead agency in the what amounts to a domestic issue--stolen election? Recognizing the Presidential election is a domestic issue--why wasn't the FBI the lead agency? More important, given the CIA has no jurisdiction on domestic soil, nor any criminal investigative power whatsoever--what justifies their involvement in the interference allegation? Jurisdiction is only one of numerous contradictions and inconsistency surrounding the "Russian interference" charge. Treason seeks to reconcile these various inconsistencies and contradictions. Sadly, in doing so one troubling conclusion becomes obvious--James Clapper and the CIA likely committed an act of treason.
