We ALL know the premise of the book, “Untouchable: How Powerful People Get Away With It”, it’s always nice to see the fact in print….
Donald Trump has actually shined a spotlight on these people ‘getting over’….
This is the second book to compare Donald Trump’s side walk act to Organized Crime guys..…
If you are a fan of Donald Trump’s, this is probably not the book for you. Although Honig reviews the wrongdoing of many people, including mobsters, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, his recurring focus is on Trump and his frequent brushes with the law, many in plain sight during the course of his presidency.
Honig recounts his experience as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan, bringing down the hit-men, capos and top bosses of the Gambino crime family. Then he pivots to episodes in which Trump used the same tactics the mobsters did to avoid criminal punishment. Honig repeatedly says Trump’s behavior resembles that of a crime boss. “Daniel Marino — the Gambino family powerhouse,” he writes, “has a few things in common with Donald Trump. . . . Both understood and leveraged money, status, and fear to protect their own interests and to silence or destroy anyone who posed a threat.” Honig doesn’t shy away from the inflammatory assertion that a man who was president acts just like a mob kingpin, and he lays out the similarities….
