Book Synopsis Capitol Threat by : William Bernhardt
Download or read book Capitol Threat written by William Bernhardt and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Oklahoma attorney Ben Kincaid came to Washington, D.C., to defend a senator caught in a red-hot sex scandal turned murder case, he never dreamed he’d end up trading the courtroom for the senate chamber. And after his not-so-distinguished client stepped down, Ben found himself appointed to complete the sullied senator’s term. Now, having barely gotten his political sea legs, he must rise to yet another challenge: advising the president’s next Supreme Court nominee during the sometimes thorny confirmation process. Luckily, Judge Thaddeus Roush’s popularity on both sides of the aisle looks to make him a shoo-in. Until he decides to out himself on national television–igniting a Beltway uproar and setting the stage for a bare-knuckle partisan brawl. Forced to scramble for spin control, Ben hastily calls a press conference for the now controversial candidate. But the photo op becomes a tabloid nightmare when, on live TV, a brutally murdered woman is discovered in the judge’s backyard. For the political forces out to torpedo the nomination of a gay Supreme Court Justice, the shocking turn of events is pure gold. With the secret backing of the president and a made-to-order new candidate waiting in the wings, the cagey senate majority leader and his most ruthless allies mount a smear campaign that would put Joe McCarthy to shame. But Team Kincaid isn’t about to let the best man for the job get derailed. While Ben uses his best courtroom strategies to wage a war of words, his crack private eye, Loving, hits the capital streets to fight a much more hands-on battle–with hustlers, hit men, and homicidal hoods–as he digs for dirt in places even Deep Throat would avoid. It’s soon clear that this game is anything but politics as usual. In Capitol Threat, William Bernhardt serves up a resounding one-two punch of political intrigue and legal suspense peppered with a volley of his trademark plot twists, sly wit, and persistent thrills.

Download or read book Capitol Conspiracy written by William Bernhardt and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oklahoma defense attorney Ben Kincaid has found himself smack in the middle of more than a few controversies and deadly predicaments–and the unexpected leap from his modest Tulsa law offices to Washington, D.C.’s Senate chamber hasn’t taken the edge off Ben’s knack for stepping into the line of fire. Now the idealistic junior senator is plunged into the thick of lethal intrigue when a shocking campaign of terror against key government officials rocks the nation’s capital. The nightmare begins with the abduction and murder of the director of Homeland Security; escalates with the killing of the Senate minority leader, who is felled in his office by an envelope laced with weaponized poison; and comes to a shattering climax at the site of the Oklahoma City Memorial, where a fusillade of sniper fire meant for the president claims unintended victims. In all, twelve people perish in the melee, while Ben himself narrowly escapes a car-bomb blast that leaves his best friend, Tulsa cop Mike Morelli, comatose. But the smoke has barely cleared when the stunned nation is sent reeling yet again by the president’s impassioned call to amend the U.S. Constitution with an antiterrorism law that would drastically curtail civil liberties. It’s a hot-button issue guaranteed to bitterly divide the Beltway and the country. The chief executive has handpicked Ben to help harvest the support that will make the amendment a reality. Shaken by the carnage, Ben embraces the president’s radical cause, and alongside unlikely new political allies he takes the battle for the controversial bill to the Senate floor. But he can’t ignore his growing suspicion that what’s haunting Capitol Hill isn’t the specter of foreign terrorism but something much closer to home. Now, with his ever-resourceful chief of staff–his wife, Christina–and along with his support team backing his play, Ben sets squares off against what could be the most dangerous Goliath he’s ever challenged. Capitol Conspiracy is a bravura William Bernhardt performance–bursting into action on the very first page, and crackling with breathless suspense, sharp wit, crafty twists, and timely thrills clear through to the last.

Book Synopsis Capitol Attack by : General Accounting Office
Download or read book Capitol Attack written by General Accounting Office and published by Nimble Books. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 6, 2021, the nation watched in horror as a violent mob stormed the United States Capitol building. It was an unprecedented attack on our democracy and its devastating consequences are still reverberating throughout our country. In the days that followed, it has become clear that prior to this tragic event, several federal agencies identified credible threats leading up to the MAGA I and MAGA II demonstrations in Washington D.C., yet many questions remain about how those threats were assessed and responded to. The General Accounting Office (GAO) report 'Capitol Attack' dives deep into these questions using open source data and related threat products to investigate what went wrong. Their findings show a complex web of intelligence gathering from multiple teams that was considered by some personnel but not acted upon until it was too late. With clarity borne from unwavering dedication to uncovering the truth - no matter how inconvenient or uncomfortable - GAO's careful analysis shines a light on weaknesses in both communication infrastructure as well as internal processes used for threat assessment at federal agencies spanning multiple administrations. This outstanding work serves not only to unearth lessons learned through tragedy but also demonstrates best practices academics, practitioners, business owners can leverage moving forward when investigating risk scenarios coming from any originator: foreign actors or groups sparked by social media platform manipulation of citizens right here at home. Capitol Attack should be required reading for anyone who places importance on security operations 'Äì including national security experts, heads of state departments/agencies domestic safety organizations small business owners 'Äì so they may better understand how they can protect themselves against future attack attempts while avoiding senseless loss of life. This book is annotated by Nimble AI and includes a Foreword by Cincinnatus; a variety of pithy, opinionated abstracts including scientific style, tldr, tldr one word, Explain It to Me Like I'm Five Years Old, and Action Items; tools for viewpoint diversity such as Red Team Critiques, and MAGA Perspectives; and a recursive summary with synopsis.

Download or read book January 6 written by Julie Kelly and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans were shocked and outraged to see chaos unfold at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The melee shut down plans by some Republican lawmakers to object to Congress’s official certification of the 2020 presidential election results. Democrats, the news media, and many leading Republicans immediately blamed the roughly four-hour disturbance on President Trump. The president “incited an insurrection,” the American pubic was told. It prompted a second impeachment trial of Donald Trump after he left office. But one year later, the original narrative of what happened that day has crumbled while hundreds of Americans have been swept up in an unprecedented investigation led by Joe Biden’s Justice Department to punish them for their involvement in the January 6th protest. The public has been misled—and flat-out lied to—about a number of aspects related to that day. This book exposes them all.

Book Synopsis Capitol Investments by : Glenn R. Parker
Download or read book Capitol Investments written by Glenn R. Parker and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Who would spend millions for a job that pays $250k? Parker’s answer will surprise you. Required reading for Congress jocks.” —Michael C. Munger, Duke University “A unique and interesting approach to the study of legislators and legislative institutions.” —David Brady, Stanford University What would you do if, the very day you were hired, you knew you could be unemployed in as little as two years? You’d seek opportunities in your current job to develop a portfolio of skills and contacts in order to make yourself more attractive to future employers. Representatives and senators think about their jobs in Congress in precisely this way, according to Glenn R. Parker. While in office, members of Congress plan not merely for the next election but for the next stage of their careers. By networking, serving on committees, and championing particular legislation, they deliberately accumulate human capital—expertise, networks, and reputation—which later gives them advantages on the job market. Parker’s study of the postelective careers of more than 200 former members of Congress who left office during the last half century shows that, in most cases, the human capital these politicians amassed while in office increased their occupational mobility and earning power.

Download or read book U. S. Capitol Attack: Review, Response and Financing written by Frank E. Sisson and published by Nova Snova. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 6, 2021, the world witnessed a violent and unprecedented attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Vice President, Members of Congress, and the democratic process. Rioters, attempting to disrupt the Joint Session of Congress, broke into the Capitol building, vandalized and stole property, and ransacked offices. They attacked members of law enforcement and threatened the safety and lives of our nation's elected leaders. Tragically, seven individuals, including three law enforcement officers, ultimately lost their lives. Chapter 1 addresses the security, planning, and response failures of the entities directly responsible for Capitol security along with critical breakdowns involving several federal agencies, particularly the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), and Department of Defense ("DOD"). The United States faces a more dangerous period in the wake of January 6th than we did after the Oklahoma City bombing. This threat is real and it is, therefore, incumbent on all of us to look at the ways that these extremist groups fund not only their violent activities but their recruitment and radicalization efforts as well. To effectively disrupt domestic extremist groups, we need to better understand their financing as explained in chapter 2. Chapter 3 is a transcript of remarks by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on the anniversary of the attack.
