ZERO FAIL The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service

By Washington Post Reporter Carroll Leonnig

Published in 2021

Recently finished this very stark look at the awry history of the Secret Service. Some ups, mostly downs, miscues, mistakes, coverups. Lots of Sex and boozing off duty by those entrusted with the presidents life.

Bill and Hillary not liked by SS much, George H W and Barbara their favorite

An added book bonus. If you need other reasons to incredibly dislike Donald trump this book may carve “new” ground for you.

A pleasure to read (easy). Chock full of references and source material.

.... he has caused it to turn to shit.

He contaminates everything he touches. It becomes dysfunctional and rendered into trash.

Presidents are written about objectively, just the facts Ma’am. The author did a great job of muddying up trump without slinging mud.

But you are right My Friend. Abhorrent isn’t close to being strong enough in describing him. Sad that a human can live his way.
