I urge everyone to read "Crime in Progress" by Fritsch and Simpson.

Wow is all I will say about it.

1. Yes, I heard it was a great book. But I wish you'd say at least a sentence or two.

It would be nice to know your main takeaway from the book, or one fact/quote that particularly stuck with you.

3. An excerpt (from Amazon.com):

After delving into Trump’s Russia dealings for nearly nine months, Fusion had hired Steele in May 2016 to supplement its research. By then, Fusion had many reasons to harbor suspicions about the Trump campaign. Months earlier, they had uncovered court filings in Virginia seeming to show that Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, owed tens of millions of dollars to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch who wanted his money back and had close ties to Putin. Simpson and Fritsch had also gotten wind of a closely guarded secret: The FBI suspected that the Russian government had hacked into the computer system of the Democratic National Committee. Fusion began to wonder if these events were related.

Steele’s task was to tap his Russian source network to answer some nagging questions arising from the information on Trump that Fusion had already gathered: Why had Trump made so many trips to Russia over the years, without ever getting a single development project off the ground? Why did so many threads in the Trump story lead to Moscow and figures close to Putin? And why was Trump so smitten with Putin, who seemed fond of Trump in return? (Bold mine)

I don't have it myself (yet), but I'm strongly considering giving myself an early Christmas present. From the reviews, it's about as non-partisan as you can get -- just the facts, ma'am.
