The biggest reason to read the books is that he former Special Agent In Charge of the Secret Service. He has been in charge of the Security of the President (3x's). Also, he has done numerous treasury fraud cases. He knows the procedures that must be followed in any case that would go before a Federal Court! His book is well sourced that can be easily fact checked! Come back to me when you actually have the book! I would recommend this book to Gcomeau, Annachie, and Ostrich Fuhrer aka TheE but they will refuse to read the book or lie about reading the book. Joat42 you have been reasonable about the Mueller Investigation and I just ask that you read the book with a open mind. Feel free to fact check the author while reading.
I do hope you aware that the book is written to fit the narrative that was evolved by the Fox pundits and Trump supporters in May 2016 and what happened later.
The funny thing is that if Bonginos assertion that the whole thing was a way to discredit and topple Trump, why didn't the FBI et al make sure to release the "damaging" information during the campaign when it would have been most effective?
Also, why didn't FBI go after Trump and Jr instead of just those people in Trumps team that had dealings with Russia?
I question Banginos motives for writing the book, especially since his ugly hatred for Democrats and liberals shine through. He calls Saul Alinsky a radical Marxist for example, a man that has done far more for the USA than Bongino ever have done and will do. And Alinsky got it right when he feared that propaganda would drive the middle class to the far-right:
Saul Alinsky wrote:making them ripe for the plucking by some guy on horseback promising a return to the vanished verities of yesterday.
Kinda sounds familiar.
The book cites many things that are fact, but Bongino never use those facts to PROVE anything useful. It's cavalcade of "look here! look here!" and leaps to conclusions that are a tad tenuous all the while ascribing nefarious intentions to anyone not on Trumps side which is disingenuous.
The whole thing about FISA warrants isn't surprising for anyone who has kept and eye on FBI's "anti-terror" and "domestic protection" efforts, they have used the FISA-court to get warrants they couldn't get the normal and transparent way - ie using the FISA-court as free candy shop to get what they want.
What really makes me say that the book is just Bongino's way to make a name for himself is that it's totally one-sided. To come to some proper conclusions you NEED to analyze both sides to get the full picture which he never does.
In the end, I doubt we will see the complete release of every bit of information that was gathered during the investigation because there are to many skeletons in the closet on both sides.
