First published 2016
Edward Klein examines the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server and classified information handling. The bestselling author argues that FBI Director James Comey's July announcement clearing Clinton of criminal charges tells only part of the story. Klein claims to reveal what the FBI's 150-person investigative team actually discovered on Clinton's server. He explores Comey's alleged threats to resign when the White House tried to influence the investigation and his backup plan to bypass the Justice Department. The book details Congressional investigators uncovering new evidence during the election year that Klein characterizes as corruption reaching treasonous levels. Klein examines the political maneuvering that he argues has repeatedly allowed the Clintons to avoid legal consequences. He also investigates the email communications between Hillary Clinton and White House officials that he suggests reveal a broader pattern of misconduct. The author presents his case that Bill and Hillary Clinton employed desperate tactics in their campaign to return to the presidency.
