Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House
by Gary Aldrich
On This Page
Description
FBI special agent Gary Aldrich thought he had a plum assignment. As one of only two FBI agents posted at the White House, he performed the background checks on White House appointees - a peaceful yet dignified way to close an eventful career spent nabbing mobsters, drug dealers, and white-collar criminals. Aldrich had little interest in politics. But he was concerned with the honor of the presidency and with national security. So what he witnessed in the first months of the Clinton show more administration left him deeply troubled. Then alarmed. Then angered. And finally, halfway through Clinton's term, so thoroughly outraged that he felt compelled in conscience to leave the FBI. Unlimited Access is Aldrich's electrifying expose of a presidential administration with a great deal to hide - and willing to put America at risk to keep it hidden. Aldrich describes how a comprehensive security system that had been perfected through six presidencies was systematically dismantled by the Clintons so they could bring their friends into the White House - friends that previous administrations would have barred because of serious ethical or legal problems, some prosecutable. Unlimited Access also sheds new light on such White House scandals as "Nannygate," "Travelgate" and the mysterious case of Vince Foster - whose true motive for committing suicide was revealed to Aldrich, in a secured vault, by White House security director Craig Livingstone. Throughout Unlimited Access, Aldrich relies on eyewitness testimony: his own, and that of other White House insiders. He concludes with a mock FBI "background report" on the President and First Lady themselves - a report that will surely come as deeply disturbing to every loyal, law-abiding American. show lessTags

It's easy to let the scandal of the day whitewash our horror at the past; fortunately, Aldrich is here to remind us of the systematic security breaches and the cultural rape that so epitomized the Clinton White House. I had forgotten about the roach clips as Christmas ornaments, and I never knew how deep the obstruction of justice went.
In any case, Unlimited Access is a fairly quick read, and only bogs down when it gets deep into the bowels of government complexity. The profanity is more prevalent than I care for, but fortunately descriptions of perversions are minimal. The report upon the Clintons themselves as if they had applied for security clearances is quite telling. There's still much about them that the public does not show more know.
This is book is critical in understanding the modern American political landscape. show less

Where was all the corporate media whistleblower love when this explosive expose of the White House came out?
