About this audiobook

Washington insiders operate by a proven credo: when a Peter Schweizer book drops, duck and brace for impact. 

For over a decade, the work of five-time New York Times bestselling investigative reporter Peter Schweizer has sent shockwaves through the political universe. 

Clinton Cash revealed the Clintons’ international money flow, exposed global corruption, and sparked an FBI investigation. Secret Empires exposed bipartisan corruption and launched congressional investigations. And Throw Them All Out and Extortion prompted passage of the STOCK Act. Indeed, Schweizer’s “follow the money” bombshell revelations have been featured on the front pages of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and regularly appear on national news programs, including 60 Minutes.

Now Schweizer and his team of seasoned investigators turn their focus to the nation’s top progressives—politicians who strive to acquire more government power to achieve their political ends.

Can they be trusted with more power?

In Profiles in Corruption, Schweizer offers a deep-dive investigation into the private finances, and secrets deals of some of America’s top political leaders. And, as usual, he doesn’t disappoint, with never-before-reported revelations that uncover corruption and abuse of power—all backed up by a mountain of corporate documents and legal filings from around the globe. Learn about how they are making sweetheart deals, generating side income, bending the law to their own benefits, using legislation to advance their own interests, and much more.

Profiles in Corruption contains tomorrow’s headlines.

Ratings and reviews

Written by an Ultra Zionist propagandist. I agree that the DNC is corrupt....but that's why they hate Bernie. That's why they are doing everything possible to rig the election. As of today, we find out that Iowa DNC officials gave away Bernie delegates to another candidate. In the counties Bernie won, they called in the results early but they didn't add it to totals. Bernie is the establishments biggest fear because they can't but him. Yes they will use the media to slow his momentum, but as a nation we must help out own and end the trillions added to deficit that goes to military industry and foreign aid. Just research who created the app the DNC used in Iowa..all with close ties to Clinton and Buttigieg. Trump tried to be anti establishment, but as soon as AIPAC put their $ behind Trump, he soon kowtowed to Sheldon Adelson (republican king maker and notorious Zionist) Bernie is Jewish so the Zionist machine can't use the anti-Semitic card.

Good book, I purchased the audible version and I noticed he didn"t mention Trumps son in laws' position definitely nepotism which the author states that corruption at a lower level most certainly will repeat at a higher level and in chapter 9 he brings up Garcetti's protest about grocers not wanting to redeem the .05 and .10 cents recycle value to the homeless that I know for a fact people that I see and help have told me that they only want to buy a slice of pizza just to eat and as they close more reycling centers they are stealing millions of dollars from all consumers. There are a lot presumed facts, but the author seems biased to a particular party. I never vote for one party as I know many people vote strictly democrat or republican. I didn't vote for Trump because I've been in at least six incidents involving guns the first finding a loaded handgun at the age of 5 that someone tossed in our front yard in Denver Colorado. And the government doesn't want to take away peoples gun. several of my relatives work(ed)at the Los Alamos Labs in the weapons division and they have far superior weapons. I know of politicians who invested in gun and ammo manufacturers then create a scare tactic that sends fanatics to gun stores to buy more making the politicians more wealthy. I think that anybody who rushes out to buy more weapons after a mass shooting like Sandy Hook has lost their soul along the way.

And yet they will have us believe that President Trump is the corrupt one.
