On March 16, 2018, just 26 hours before his scheduled retirement from the organization he had served with distinction for more than two decades, Andrew G. McCabe was fired from his position as deputy director of the FBI.

Major Garrett's Mr. Trump's Wild Ride is a great book. Expecting and wanting a criticism I was surprised to find that it wasn't even an explanation of Trump and his presidency. It is a description. So it gives much more information about how and why things are and happened. Well worth the read.

In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein is working five part-time jobs and just scraping by when a posting on Craigslist lands her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama’s stenographers. The ultimate DC outsider, she joins the elite team who accompany the president wherever he goes, recorder and mic in hand. On whirlwind trips across time zones, Beck forges friendships with a dynamic group of fellow travelers - young men and women who, like her, leave their real lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One in service of the president.

A little White House insider, a lot of drinking, and way too much silly romance. Learn how women think.
Reviewed: 07-24-18
This book is well written and has some interesting White House organizational information. I hope the White House staff doesn’t drink and smoke as much as it seems, and it’s sad to think the author is so foolishly unlucky at love. You do get a good description of the way women think. And, of course, some wonderful descriptions of President Obama.

Good story, great writing and character development. And you'll learn something. Not sure you'll ever use what you learned but it's still interesting and good to know.
