The book has rankled current and former members of the Secret Service, who dont like anyone airing their business in public but who also take issue with Byrne inflating his role.

and it was like cheap pulp fiction. Hillary haters will love it, but it is totally lacking any credibility.
Thanks for posting, riversedge.
