Has anyone read Stephanie Grisham's book "I'll Take Your Questions Now"?

I've read several books about Trump and his time in office, but not any by a person who was actually in his administration. I'm just wondering if it reveals anything interesting or if it's worth the time and money. Any insight will be helpful.

I think it's just those who normally get PRE-releases who have had access to it thus far.

Not planning to read it anyway.

That said, I am curious if she goes after Sara Huckabee. Admittedly, I'd love to see her raked over the coals.

she stood to profit from her revelations. She didn't resign until Jan 6th for God's sake.

I refuse to contribute to her much-belated attempts at "truth-telling." I saw her interviewed on several media outlets and she really irritated me. She is willing to accept some responsibilty, but she gets no pass in my book.

7. I doubt that's even a conscience. Most likely a performance.

That is what they do. They flip on a dime if it makes them a dime.

It's tabloid fodder - whether true or embellished. We all know the guy is a monster and people that supported him are absolute losers.

I think Fiona Hill's new book would be at least well written and interesting.

10. I do like how she is dropping a lot of gossipy stuff that is sure to drive Trump crazy.

I won't pay for it, though. I'll wait until I can get it from the library.
