Review of 'Crime in Progress: Inside the Steele Dossier and the Fusion GPS Investigation of Donald Trump' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I rushed to finish this book a few days before this week's inauguration, and I'm glad I did. Having grown up in New York during the 70s, Trump's racism and sketchy business practices were already well-known to me, but"Crime in Progress" opened my eyes to his vulnerability to Russian money, and, by extension, to Russian influence. The reality of Trump's exposure should have rendered him unfit to hold any office, let alone that of U.S. President. Instead, I relived the horror Fusion GPS must have experienced when the worst possible scenario became our daily reality, and no amount of urgency - or the weight of credible evidence - could sway a gullible public or the momentum of a compromised Republican party. This book would be a cautionary tale if we had not already lived the nightmare once. I hope we don't get fooled again.
