Davis book

I just finished a book by Lanny Davis entitled The Unmaking Of A President and the theme of the book is that Jame Comey caused Hilary to lose the election to Trump. In the first two chapters he makes a compelling argument that there was nothing illegal about Hilary's private email account. He points out that throughout Hilary's public life the press had been tough on her culminating with the investigation into the Whitewater land deal in Arkansas. After years of bad press over this deal the final result was that she had done nothing illegal. Her desire to avoid more negative press led her to use the private email server. Even though no evidence was present to show illegalities the private email continued to make headlines and over shadowed her other policies. Others who agree with Davis on the legality of the emails point out that there were emails that Hilary did not want anyone to see and this led to her deleting some and turning over others. This still provides critics with a reason to doubt the importance of the emails. Beginning in chapter three and throughout the book he points out many reported stories that were either partially or totally incorrect although he never refers to them as fake news. The rest of the book he points out the ways in which Comey interfered with the electoral process. Reading this book gives a quite different explanation of how Hilary was treated as compared to other stories in the press. It is always good to get all sides of an issue especially in today's world where politics plays up to one side or the other.
