This was an interesting quote in the section on the hack: "as one expert observed, it [leaving a bit of a trail] was a 'big cyber F-you.'"

Later on in the book the author points out how absolutely furious VP was with HRC; both for her actions policy-wise as SecState, and in her campaign speeches. The author also surmised that she would be VP's worst nightmare - especially vis a vis NATO - if she won the presidency.

It's a fascinating book. Some I take with a grain of salt, but it certainly builds an interesting case for much that happened during this past election.
