- Used Book in Good Condition
A bombshell investigation reveals how Washington really works: politicians extort money from us, then use it to buy each otherâ€™s votes. Best-selling author Peter Schweizer reveals:

*Obamaâ€™s "Protection Money": How the Obama Administration targeted industries for criminal investigation but chose not to pursue key political donors.

*John Boehnerâ€™s "Tollbooth": How the Speaker of the House extracts money by soliciting political donations before he will hold crucial votes on the House floor.

*The "Slush Fund": How politicians extract "campaign contributions" and then convert them to bankroll lavish lifestyles complete with limos, private jets, golf at five-star resorts, fine wines, and cash for family members.

*Capitol Hillâ€™s "Underground Economy": How congressmen use a little-known loophole that allows them to secretly link their votes to cash.

Extortion finally makes clear why Congress is so dysfunctional: itâ€™s all about making money, not making law.
