Then, a single, unprecedented intervention changed the course of American political history, dooming Clinton's chances and ushering in the era of Donald Trump. This is the up-close, inside story of how that happened, who was responsible, and why America may never recover from it. The decisive act came from James Comey, director of the FBI, when he publically repoened an investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of emails only eleven days before the election. The FBI had always guarded its reputation for political neutrality but, in October, Comey steered the Bureau into the center of a political maelstrom. The FBI's actions in 2016 would have far-reaching consequences, leading directly to the Mueller investigation and the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, but more importantly they set the state for a ceaseless battle for political control of the Justice Department. October Surprise reveals how long-building tensions sent two of the most important parts of the government, the FBI and the Justice Department, into a self-desctructive spiral that continues to this day" -- from publisher. 600 10 $a Clinton, Hillary Rodham. 600 10 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- 600 10 $a Comey, James B., $c Jr., $d 1960- 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $y 2016. 650 0 $a Political campaigns $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2009-2017. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211008010046.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3320EF3602E211EBBCE103862AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
