Synopsis#1 New York Times Bestseller Peter Schweizer has been fighting corruption--and winning--for years. In Throw Them All Out, he exposed insider trading by members of Congress, leading to the passage of the STOCK Act. In Extortion , he uncovered how politicians use mafia-like tactics to enrich themselves. And in Clinton Cash , he revealed the Clintons' massive money machine and sparked an FBI investigation. Now he explains how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world. An American bank opening in China would be prohibited by US law from hiring a slew of family members of top Chinese politicians. However, a Chinese bank opening in America can hire anyone it wants. It can even invite the friends and families of American politicians to invest in can't-lose deals. President Donald Trump's children have made front pages across the world for their dicey transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer. In many parts of the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent political families, we may already be talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. Deeply researched and packed with shocking revelations, Secret Empires identifies public servants who cannot be trusted and provides a path toward a more accountable government., #1 New York Times Bestseller!

    An Absolutely Eye-Opening and Important Read

    This book for me was eye opening and very informative. It lays out in no uncertain terms how the halls of the People’s Houses really work...and for who. If you think it’s for We the People, you’d be oh so wrong! For me, it highlights how complacent We The People have been with our elected officials. We have taken for granted that when we elect these people to office that they will spend their time enacting beneficial policies and finding ways to make the lives of everyday Americans better....but we have been so very wrong. Yes, while We The People have been asleep at the wheel, our elected officials have been routinely lining their pockets with the People’s gold...our country’s treasure. Our trust has been misplaced badly, so when will We the People wake up and clean the People’s Houses???? This is an easy page-turner. I never lost interest.

    The truth revealed, liberals lies exposed

    If all 2020 election voters had read this book before they voted in 2020 election, Biden would never have drawn flies from an electorate totally ignorant of his past corruption and highly questionable deal making with foreign powers, i.e. China and Ukraine through corrupt son Hunter and his crony friends. Peter Schweizer should be highly commended for his due diligence research that unmasks Biden, Obama and most other liberals in power as well as some Republicans like our Senate speaker O'Connell. They are all like mob families in protecting each other from scrutiny. This was the first book by Schweizer I've read but certainly won't be the last. As a retired career newspaper journalist, I just wish today's mainstream media would open their eyes to the truth instead of believing all the liberals lies as their propaganda arm. Michael K. Garrett Trinidad, Colo. 81082

    Must read!

    Documents some shady deals by the sons of Biden and Kerry. The cronyism and corrupt business practices of their sons that coincide with key diplomatic trips by then VP Biden and Secretary of State Kerry make it very clear that the dad’s political status can be bought by China and Ukraine.
