“Compelling criticism…surprisingly calming…Lapsed Trump supporters
might well open their minds to this attorney's scholarly, entirely
convincing proof of the damage done.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred
review
“Anyone who cares about understanding the most startling
election in US history must confront the analysis and evidence so
skillfully deployed by Lanny Davis. Whether you're a Trump
True Believer, or a Hillary Diehard, you'll never come to
terms with the amazements and outrages of the 2016 campaign until
you've confronted this indispensable book. Many readers will
disagree with some of its explosive conclusions (as I did), but no
one can disregard all of them.”
—Michael Medved, nationally syndicated conservative talk show host,
bestselling author, member of Board of Contributors for USA
Today
“Lanny Davis details the full, horrifying story of how one man’s
decisions to violate policy and common sense helped to upend an
election and, as a consequence, change the course of American
history. One of our keenest political observers, Davis lays out a
meticulous case against James Comey, the former director of the
FBI, whose repeated and unprecedented interference in the 2016
election transformed what is supposed to be a politically silent
government post into that of a virtual third candidate…Davis’s book
is at once disturbing, fascinating and informative. It is a
must-read for anyone who cares about the future of democracy.”
—Kurt Eichenwald, Contributing Editor, Vanity Fair and
bestselling author
“Everybody wants to know how Hillary Clinton lost the election to
Donald Trump. Lanny Davis has the answer, and it’s indisputable:
the blame lies squarely on then-FBI Director James Comey and his
ill-considered, ill-fated, and lethal letter of October 28. Lanny
Davis and Donald Trump agree on one thing: James Comey should have
been fired. The difference, as Davis proves conclusively, is that
Comey should have been fired by President Obama for violating rules
of the Justice Department, interfering in a presidential election,
and throwing the election to Donald Trump.” —Bill
