Secret service officer has wriiten a book about the Clintons

[Will Wiley]

Not showing them in a very good light.

"Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office. From the bottom of my soul I know this to be true. So I must speak out.

Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate

Posted directly outside President Clinton's Oval Office, Former Secret Service uniformed officer Gary Byrne reveals what he observed of Hillary Clinton's character and the culture inside the White House while protecting the First Family. Now that a second Clinton administration threatens -- their scheme from the very beginning -- Byrne exposes what he saw of the real Hillary Clinton.

While serving as a Secret Service Officer, Gary Byrne protected President Bill Clinton and the First Family in the White House and outside the Oval Office. There, he saw the political and personal machinations of Bill and Hillary Clinton and those who were fiercely loyal to them. In CRISIS OF CHARACTER Byrne provides a firsthand account of the scandals--known and unknown--and daily trials ranging from the minor to national in scale.

Having witnessed the personal and political dysfunction of the Clinton White House--so consumed by scandal and destroying their enemies, real and imagined--Byrne came to understand that, to the Clintons, governing was an afterthought. He now tells this story--before voters go to the polls--in the hopes that Clinton supporters will understand the real Hillary Clinton.

More ammunition for trump I guess

I imagine any President's Secret Service officers could tell any number of tales about life inside the White House... The president, his family, the first kids' parties...

But the resounding majority of them have had the integrity to not say shit about what they observed. Wonder why Byrne's different?

OOH a tell-all! Cut to the sexxxy parts!

I see what they are doing.

He now tells this story-- while sales will most likely peak--in the hopes that Clinton opponents will flock to read the dirt on Hillary Clinton.

Agreed. My literary agent used to complain about people wanting to market books too late in the process. For example: a book about the Mayan Apocalypse of 2012 submitted late 2012, too late for getting it to the bookstores. Now is the time to strike with these books. I've already seen two anti-Trump books in bookstores.

 

[Jayjay]

So what are these scandals?

 

[ronburgundy]

Anyone stupid enough to think that far more extreme petty narcissism is THE only defining feature of Trump's character has already strapped themselves firmly into Trump's bandwagon.

Also, the title of "A Crisis of Character" seems a more apt descriptor of the author himself, giving up his integrity for a big payday.

I don't care for Clinton much at all. But Clinton is a far better option than Trump. I'm just sad, disappointed, and a bit ashamed that it's come down to these two choices.

We really can't be sure of that. Clinton is given to lying and flip flopping when it suits her. She says she believes in a lot of things she has opposed in the past to win support away from Sanders. She say she opposes things she will no doubt support within her first year in office. Trump on the other hand is just plain crazy...denying climate change, building a huge wall, locking out Muslims. Really I do not feel Clinton should be allowed in the oval office. I doubt we have had worse...maybe Dubbiya, maybe Obama, maybe Reagan.

 

[barbos]

They are both below average, even for presidential candidate.

Yes, we can be sure of it. Clinton is a politician who won the nomination via inertia and by calling on support from minorities. Trump is a maniacal narcissist who won the nomination by stoking hatred among racists and misogynists. Clinton understands diplomacy, Trump doesn't have a clue about diplomacy and thinks of politics as a Disney sort of world where stuff just happens.

It isn't even remotely close. Trump should be the candidate of a fringe third or fourth party, not the main competition.

This is one of those things that you just don't do (with respect to the guy who "wrote" this book).

And it seems pretty certain that even though he's sold his integrity, he's still only left with gossip and hearsay that's almost certainly been rewritten, reworded, and edited with an eye towards exaggeration and half truth.

I wouldn't be interested in a book like this about Dubbya--okay, maybe for the inherent and unintended comedic aspects.

This reminds me of a conversation I had not long after Howard Stern's "Private Parts" movie came out.

If you haven't seen it, the movie actually gets quite a lot of things right about the radio business, and also takes some liberties. One of those is a breakout performance by Paul Giamatti as "Kenny," the program director during Howard's stint at WNBC in New York. He's based on a real guy named Kevin Metheny. He passed away a couple years ago and while I never knew him, I know a lot of people who did.

Without exception, they all say he was a great guy. Stern didn't like him at all, though, and they clashed over and over again.

The conversation i had back in 97 was with a co worker who used to work for Kevin, and he said "what if you had the opportunity to tell your life's story, you needed a villain, and you happened to have a former boss in your life that you hated. What would you do?" Stern took a guy who was by all accounts respectable and turned him into the villain because it served his story.


Maybe Hillary yelled at this guy once and he never got over it. Now he's got the opportunity to get revenge and sell a lot of books in the process.

Stranger things have happened.

This must explain why the country was so bad off during the Bill Clinton presidency, right?

And it is utter madness.

Clinton did nothing but respond to one baseless attack after another.

The Republicans shut down the government like infants.

I remember shortly after that movie came out. I was a regular Randi Rhodes listener (the talk show host, not Randy Rhodes the guitarist). She said she had worked with pigvomit also and Paul Giamatti got him square on the head.

eta: It could be Kenny was a great guy with people who played the game and followed the rules. Stern and Randi (although nor as much as Stern) wanted to give their audiences what they wanted and stupid rules be damned.

You can't blame a guy for trying to make a little money off of inside information.

Don't the SS teams working closely with politicians and their families have to sign some sort of confidentiality agreement?

You'll notice, the author was a "uniformed" secret service. They are the ones who check ID's at the door and keep tourists out of restricted areas. They aren't the guys in Raybans who talk to their wrist watch.
