![]() ![]() McCabe's is an important voice because of his position at the top of the bureau during a critical series of events, including the firing of FBI chief James Comey, the appointment of special counsel Robert S. The description of Sessions is one of the most striking revelations in "The Threat," a McCabe memoir that adds to a rapidly expanding collection of score-settling insider accounts of Trump-era Washington. It's a startling portrait that suggests that the Trump administration's reputation for baseness and dysfunction has, if anything, been understated and too narrowly attributed to the president. Not like all those new people with nose rings and tattoos - who knows what they're doing?" "They were drunks but they could be trusted. The FBI was better off when "you all only hired Irishmen," Sessions said in one diatribe about the bureau's workforce. Instead, it's McCabe's account of what it was like to work for then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. This isn't how President Trump is depicted in a new book by former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe. He blamed immigrants for nearly every societal problem and uttered racist sentiments with shocking callousness. He seemed confused about the structure and purpose of organizations and became overwhelmed when meetings covered multiple subjects. He didn't read intelligence reports and mixed up classified material with what he had seen in newspaper clips. The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump ![]()

He reads, he acts, he switches voices, accents and genders seamlessly and with style, keeping the action going and the laughs coming. He brings his award-worthy A-Game to the recording booth, once again, and delivers one of the most immersive, hilarious and expansive listening experiences that I heard in a long time. The audiobook version of Edger is brought to life by award-winning actor, voice-over artist and narrator Vikas Adam.

Edger by David Beem is like nothing else that I listened to before, and I experienced over 1,200 audiobooks in my life so far! The closest thing it resembles is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but Edger is even more of a hoot than that one.
