Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite

by Peter Schweizer

For over a decade, the work of five-time New York Times bestselling investigative reporter Peter Schweizer has sent shockwaves through the political universe.

Clinton Cash revealed the Clintons’ international money flow, exposed global corruption, and sparked an FBI investigation. Secret Empires exposed bipartisan corruption and launched congressional investigations. And Throw Them All Out and Extortion prompted passage of the STOCK Act. Indeed, Schweizer’s “follow the money” bombshell revelations have been featured on the front pages of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and regularly appear on national news programs, including 60 Minutes.

Now Schweizer and his team of seasoned investigators turn their focus to the nation’s top progressives—politicians who strive to acquire more government power to achieve their political ends.

Can they be trusted with more power?

In Profiles in Corruption, Schweizer offers a deep-dive investigation into the private finances, and secrets deals of some of America’s top political leaders. And, as usual, he doesn’t disappoint, with never-before-reported revelations that uncover corruption and abuse of power—all backed up by a mountain of corporate documents and legal filings from around the globe. Learn about how they are making sweetheart deals, generating side income, bending the law to their own benefits, using legislation to advance their own interests, and much more.

Profiles in Corruption contains tomorrow’s headlines.

Reviews

[Amora · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has over one thousand citations mostly consisting of bank records, campaign finance disclosures, court documents, and investigative reports. There are zero unnamed sources in this book. I took the liberty of carefully looking through many of the sources and they all said what Schweizer said. When I was confused at one point regarding the chapter on Kamala Harris Schweizer’s office was kind enough to clear things up by going out of their way to provide me an audit document. This book paints all people mentioned in different light, especially Bernie Sanders who consistently denounces corruption in politics. Schweizer and his team of investigative journalists did a wonderful job with this blockbuster book.

Knowing that many politicians are crooks is one thing, reading the details is a lot worse. After reading this book, plan on taking a walk or doing something relaxing.

The author knows his stuff and documents HEAVILY. This is not some random hit-piece without facts.

The book is a painful read, but an important one.

[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

"History teaches that power tempts those who wield it into corrupt acts. Founding Father George Washington worried, 'Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.' But the problem is not just with accumulated power, but also with those who seek it. As scientist / author David Brin noted, 'It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible.'" - page 249

Admittedly, I'm not really a fan of this current crop of progressive officials (or politicians in general, I suppose) so Schweizer's eye-opening Profiles in Corruption only helps in depressingly driving home that a certain number of our higher-level elected officials will do all sorts of double-talking, backstabbing, get in bed with (in both the figurative and literal sense) questionable folks in the pursuit of securing funds or giving / receiving favors, to gain power and achieve office placement. Mind you, I'm not naive - this has been happening for a looooong time now, regardless of party or affiliation - but Schweizer concentrates on Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, and a few other Democrats who have been in the U.S. limelight, especially in the last decade or so. Although occasionally dry at times in the text, the author has otherwise clearly done his research - I don't recall a single 'unnamed source' notation - and presented a fair amount of detailed information that was alternately illuminating and disgusting. With the selling of their souls that appears to happen in exchange for their careers - or even, in a different example, a senator's continual mistreatment of her staff that has caused an astronomically high turnover rate - exactly how do these folks sleep at night? It's no wonder that a 2018 Gallup poll ranked 'members of Congress' as the least trusted profession in America. Please, let's bring on the term limits!

This is the third book by Peter Schweitzer that I’ve read. I respect his research and how he plainly lays out the facts which he reports. What is sickening is that many of the things Schweitzer reports are things that the media and honest elected congressman should be delving into. I don’t hold much hope that much will come of what he discloses.

This is the 4th book I read from this author. Although this book focused entirely on the "Progressive" politicians and almost entirely on the Democratic 2020 Presidential hopefuls, he is normally fair and covers corruption in both parties.

It really is incredible to read this book and then listen to these politicians talk down to us with this moral indignation all the while they are totally corrupt and engaging in the very same things they accuse others of engaging in. I always say that socialism is for the people not the socialists. They talk a good talk, but they are all corrupt as they come.

This books covers the sketchy rise of the candidates such as Harris, Biden, Sanders, Warren and many more. These folks and so many others are riding high on the MSM hearts. We have seen time and time and time again and again that the MSM gets it wrong all the time. If you doubt it, look at Michael Avenatti, for gods sake, they were calling the 2020 election in his favor back in 2017.

The facts are clear. When Obama was running for his second term, no one in the Democratic Party or the Republicans part would be able to beat him. The only strategy was to wait him out. The same is true with Trump. He will win 2020 and there is nothing anyone can do. They cannot even impeach him. The Democrats are hurting the party by continuing with this approach. When the information in this book comes out, they will be seen in the true light that they are; huge hypocrites.

[Allanmcd · Rating 5 out of 5]

A little bit dry in places but i guess all of that detail was necessary to follow the trails. I was impressed that Peter was mostly objective and used actions of the politicians rather than options and gossip. Sadly, this book reaffirmed my disgust with our political system. Politicians that say one thing while they are actually doing something that is usually just the opposite. Unfortunately, it looks like you can't rise to this level of power without kissing a lot of pigs and lining your pockets with money from unsavory people. I'm glad that somebody took the time to do all this research and I am impressed that he was able to get it published in this heated political climate. Maybe there are still some good guys out there. It's too bad that the people that really need to read this book probably won't.

There's enough material here to turn Bernie Sanders (the couple, to put it more correctly) into toast.

[Tony]

I think it's the finger-waggers who nauseate me the most.

I accept that most politicians are corrupt. Corrupt as opposed to criminal, but only because they get to write the rules that define criminality. So what to you and me would be a bribe, is to them lobbying, PAC, or non-profit. Funky disclosure rules mask the enormity, or the convenient recipient. Look to the wife (Bernie Sanders), the daughter (Elizabeth Warren), the son, brothers (Joe Biden), the ex-adulterous-lover (Kamala Harris). That's how they hide it, use it.

So, yes, that Harris, as a prosecutor, would accept campaign contributions from the Catholic Church and then decidedly not pursue pedophilic priests certainly appalled me, but it was the finger-waggers (Warren, Sanders and Biden) who turned my stomach. Sanders is the socialist with three houses and an in-ground pool. Warren cozies up in private to the corporate heads she excoriates in public. And it must pain Biden to have to punish the oligarchs who are in bed with his son.

There's always things in a book like this which kind of punctuate things for me. Like the mother of Kamala Harris defending her daughter's adulterous relationship with a prominent politician: "Why shouldn't she have gone out with Willie Brown? He was a player."

And Joe Biden's brother Frank. He moved over to the passenger seat of his Jaguar and let a friend drive, encouraging him to go faster and faster (80 m.p.h. in a 35 m.p.h. zone). The friend plowed the Jag into a pedestrian, killing him. Brother Frank, according to backseat witnesses, told the driver to flee. The daughters of the victim sued Frank, and when he refused to appear, won a judgment now valued at $900,000. Frank Biden has so far avoided payment. But he still gets invited to the White House by Joe for business opportunities. Remember that Joe Biden's first wife and a daughter died in an automobile accident.

Senator Sherrod Brown is a corruption piker compared to that crew, but a friend of his - a friend - said his approach is to "get money from the rich and votes from the poor by promising to protect them from each other." Ha-Ha-Ha.

Overall, I found this book rather shallow, the supporting research not as profound as I was led to believe. But there's enough here.

LEGAL CORRUPTION IS THE BEST KIND

This book provides a wealth of information on 21sr Century sophisticated “legal” corruption. It is by far preferred by those who seek very high office as do the subjects the author chose to write about. Nepotism, favors for friends and supporters are naturally expected by many, regardless of the ethical, or moral implications. Most of the “corrupt” use of power exposed is not criminal even though it is wrong. The use of non-profits “owned” by the powerful stands out as a relatively new twist to perennial traditional political corruption. Otherwise the old fashioned power politics is the same as always just multiplied by the ambition of the power seekers who in today’s “DOLLARCRACY” multiply their votes in direct relation to the money they raise, borrow, beg, filch or thieve.

If you care to know more than what the media is telling you, read this book. If you want to be truly disgusted in the current Democratic Party, read this book. If you want to know why these people not in jail, read this book - they all pay each other’s backs.

[Dennis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'll start out by writing that everyone, regardless of party affiliation, should read this well documented easy to read investigative book. The author follows the money on eight prominent politicians currently campaigning for U.S. president, or have campaigned, or is a mayor with desires in that direction. There is a common thread between all of them, in addition to corruption, it is setting up non-profits through which they can legally (or not) launder money to pay family members running these non-profits. The money is largely, if not solely, obtained from businesses seeking legislative favors benefiting them, or their industries. For the most part this all takes place in the open albeit taking someone like the author and his staff to ferret it out.
Two quotations at the end really say it all: "A people that elect corrupt politicians, impostors, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices." (George Orwell) "We get the government we choose, the leaders we elect and the corruption we tolerate." (The author) I would add that we cannot afford to just watch the ads and listen to the stump speeches to decide who is worthy of our confidence and vote. We must read books such as this written by investigative journalists. Sadly the news media used to be the watchdog, but they have relinquished that duty to partisanship.

[Stephen Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read before the fall election. Too bad there is so many footnotes, but it backs up the narrative which is a good thing. Why isn't the media looking into any of this.

[Siriusly · Rating 1 out of 5]

While I wholeheartedly agree that our political system is full of corruption of all sorts, this book is one-sided. I agree that the Democratic Party is corrupt and has its share of hypocrites, but let’s not forget that the Republican Party is just as guilty, if not more so of corruption, hypocrisy, lies, racism, voter suppression, greed…

What really soured me on this book, apart from the ignoring the rest of US politics, is the xenophobic feel. There is nothing wrong with a politician choosing to serve ethnic-themed meals that align with his or her racial background. Neither is, because of one’s beliefs, not being sworn into the office on the Bible.

Although based on facts and what appears to be legit and thorough research, this book is myopic and quite immaturely written - immature in attitude.

The opening of the book points out how president Trump is unfairly targeted by the media. Which at the start of his presidency, is quite true. But now that he’s well into his term, president Trump constantly lies, has his foot in his mouth, spreads false information, blundered the US handling of a PANDEMIC...in so doing, he willingly gives his adversaries and media outlets free “ammunition”.

The closed-mindedness and myopic stance that this book echoes is disturbing. It saddens me that people refuse to think for themselves when it comes to politics. Is it any wonder why our government is such a mess?

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing insight. Excellent read. Very factual and concise.

While the material grabs and holds you, the fact that there is extensive documented proof the whole way through the book is nothing short of amazing.
A MUST READ FOR EVERY CITIZEN.

[Taylor Ahlstrom · Rating 3 out of 5]

Profiles in Corruption is a heavily researched, heavily cited investigation, primarily into the Democratic presidential hopefuls in the 2020 election. The overarching theme of the book is the daily hypocrisy we are faced with and the fact that small corruptions often lead to larger ones once more power is concentrated in a single person, flowing to everyone in their orbit. In this, his point comes across loud and clear, and the reader is certainly left to think about how much they really know about the politicians they support, and how much lies behind the curtain of the great political machine. The reader is also often left to wonder how much truth lies in the assertions being made.

It would be remiss in a review of a highly politicized book not to mention the political leanings of the writer, who is the senior editor-at-large of the far-right media organization Breitbart News. Brietbart news has been declared as “extreme right-wing bias,” “propaganda” and a “questionable source” according to the factchecking website, mediabiasfactcheck.com.

While the book mostly reads as the work of a seasoned investigative journalist, Schweizer frequently falls into the suggestive tones of a gossip columnist. One of the most troubling aspects of his criticisms is not political at all, but rather that he chooses to open each chapter by focusing on the religious beliefs of the politician (if they differ from Christianity). Kamala Harris is half Indian, and he uses his suggestive tone to infer that perhaps she is more Hindu than anything else. Cory Booker was once very curious about Judaism, even praying and attending services. Bernie Sanders, of course a well-known Jew, has a somewhat secretive history at a “particularly political” Kibbutz in Israel, associating him with a pro-Soviet, pro-Stalin outlook. Elizabeth Warren’s Indian son-in-law supposedly made a religious movie with ties to the Iranian government. These connections are not made to be subtle, but are left to lead the reader to make their own assumptions, wondering how these decidedly unamerican religious beliefs may be a form of hypocrisy in themselves. Regardless, they are certainly irrelevant to any form of corruption.

Surely, many of the claims made by Schweizer are accurate, but there are enough unfounded claims and mere insinuations to lead any discerning reader to want to comb meticulously through the hundreds of endnotes in each chapter to understand where his information is coming from. Many of the instances of corruption are simple associations a politician has with someone else who was indicted for bribery or extortion, which certainly doesn’t look good, but does not constitute a confirmation of guilt in itself.

In Schweizer’s presentation, every political favor is some sort of nefarious, illegal dealing, rather than the reality of the political system we have in place in the United States. People work together to get things done, and often those things are mutually beneficial. Other times, there is compromise involved, and most of the time, there is money involved in one way or another (such as more jobs for your district). Lobbying is completely legal, and the Senators who are being lobbied often vote against their principals and in line with the money. It’s an inherently flawed system that certainly could use an overhaul, but accusing Senators who have played by those rules as though they were any more “corrupt” than the next guy is more than a stretch. Everyone wants their politicians to be morally beyond reproach, but there is little doubt most people are aware of the way money flows through politics. Politicians have to raise money, and Schweizer often presents fundraising as a sort of crime in and of itself: any time you take money from someone, and happen to vote for something they would benefit from, you have been bought. Never mind that people often donate to politicians who already share their beliefs.

Elizabeth Warren may excoriate bankers in public and play a little nicer in private, but that is because she has to work with them and get them to work with her as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Seats on boards of Fortune 500 companies get traded as favors between powerful people. It’s another part of the system that many agree should be changed, but there is nothing particularly criminal about it. Following the money is an important thing to do to make sure there is nothing illegal happening, but most of the time he provides no evidence one way or another, only offering speculation about what one may be involved in.

Particularly troubling is Schweizer’s reckless insinuation that Sherrod Brown played a part in the murder of a woman who worked for him—claiming it was related to “illegal payoffs” during the campaign that she knew about, without evidence to support it, nor any evidence to support some kind of bribe or coverup to keep his name clear. Brown was surely investigated, the police arrested someone else, and that man was found not guilty for lack of evidence. Schweizer presents hearsay as breadcrumbs, leading the reader to a dangerous conclusion without taking responsibility for it.

Additionally, many of the “crimes” Schweizer mentions aren’t crimes at all. He talks at length about Warren and her husband’s involvement in “flipping” foreclosed residential properties to turn a profit. This of course is neither illegal nor immoral, and having sympathy for victims of the great recession who lost their homes does not preclude one from engaging in legitimate business activities. There is no requirement if you are progressive to want to be poor, and money from speaking engagements and bestselling books is par for the course when you are a prominent public figure running for president.

Where he does hit the mark is highlighting those moments when politicians do exactly the opposite of what they stand for: When Kamala Harris is tough on crime, but neglects to prosecute Catholic sex crimes; when Bernie Sanders campaigned against a massive real estate development in Burlington, and then privately supported that same deal once in office; when Elizabeth Warren represented the massive corporations in court she claimed to be fighting against.

It seems the title would be better suited as “Profiles in Hypocrisy: How America’s Lobbying System Needs Reform.” His goal was clearly to paint Democratic presidential candidates in an insidious light, but instead, his exposé comes off more as a criticism of the system as a whole, unintentionally highlighting the rampant nepotism and cronyism that rule the day on both sides of the aisle in Washington. Any person knowledgeable about politics would recognize these corrupt deeds not wholly as illegal back-alley deals (though certainly some are), but rather just the way the system has been for a long time, and the reason so many are calling to “drain the swamp.” Without a doubt, many of the appointments Donald Trump has made as president are to friends and family and members of his Mar-a-Lago club with little relevant experience or qualifications.
If the American people think it wrong for a family member to receive financial gain due to a sibling’s position of power, then legislation should certainly be brought forward. Interestingly, a law was passed forbidding family members of those in Congress or the Senate from lobbying for particular causes—a law which forced Hunter Biden to change career paths. There is currently no law on the books forbidding nepotism in the White House.

The book as a whole, however, is not without legitimate claims to corruption. It would seem (without further analyzing the vast resources cited in the book) that Cory Booker’s Newark mayoral office was likely involved in kickbacks going back to Booker’s charity, which is certainly illegal, if it is true. Eric Garcetti’s “Tammany Hall” of Los Angeles also reeks of kickbacks and sweetheart deals, despite many of them being technically legal. Of all those mentioned, Biden milked the system for as much as it was worth once he reached the office of Vice President, and both his brother Frank and his son Hunter apparently made entire careers out of just being related to him.

Ultimately, any conservative reader will likely find this book a confirmation of what they knew to be true of most progressives, and any strongly liberal reader will decry it as a biased piece of garbage. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Schweizer’s investigative reporting isn’t completely without merit, but he loses much of his credibility when he decides only to focus on Democratic presidential nominees. Surely when he started writing this, he believed Garcetti and Brown were likely to join the largest field of nominees in history as well. Similar to Tucker Carlson’s Ship of Fools, Schweizer mentions a problem that plagues all of Washington, but then spends an entire book addressing only those on the opposite side of the aisle. While Warren, Sanders, and the rest of them may not be pinnacles of morality and perfection, it seems hard to imagine there are not far more corrupt politicians out there doing legitimately illegal things he could have investigated if he were truly interested in rooting out corruption in Washington, rather than just furthering his own political agenda.

Hopefully any discerning reader will take this book for what it truly is: a scathing indictment of the system as a whole, and a call for change, transparency, and reform in our lobbying and campaign finance regulations that will hold more politicians to account for their actions.

[Philip · Rating 2 out of 5]

My old college roommate, who decades later turned out to be a radical pro-Trumpist (but remains a good friend) has been after me to read this for at least a year, so we finally made a deal that if I at least read the chapters on Biden and Harris, he would then read a Trump book of my choice.

So I did, and in truth (assuming Schweizer's reporting is factually correct), there is indeed some disturbingly corrupt shit going on here. But still, it remains laughably bush league compared to Trump's own degredations and depredations while in the White House, including (but by NO means limited to) his personal profiting from his nearby hotel and reaping millions by holding events - and/or forcing his secret service protection to stay - at his many properties. And yes, while Hunter Biden has unquestionably profited from his father's connections - again, nothing compared to Trump's own kids, who aside from amassing their own personal fortunes, were at least in two cases actually appointed to positions as SENIOR ADVISORS (!) to the former Shitbird in Chief.*

And so while this book is a disappointing look at the inner workings of political corruption on the progressive left, and a convincing argument for some long-overdue changes to our overall political system (particularly in the area of term limits), I still have to call bullshit on Schweizer for not even trying to put this in any sort of perspective vis-à-vis the far more egregious moral, political and venal turpitude of the previous administration.

2-plus literal stars in that "it was ok," but I cannot honestly say that I liked it, or found it in any way objective.

* Vague apologies here, but with this term defined as "a completely useless individual who is unaware of his/her own complete uselessness," this is in fact the least offensive term I have come up with to describe this autocratic, unpatriotic, and downright criminal buffoon. But that's just me.

[Pleunig · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is the tip of the iceberg and very disturbing. I am convinced every one in politics is a part of the pay to play system that had been in place since the early days of government. The nerve of any politician preaching they know better. In short it makes me sick. Term limits are needed and loopholes closed. When the fox is in the hen house and pass laws to benefit themselves and their benefactors, we are screwed! Compelling stories with hard facts but a little repetitious. I will never look at ANY politician the same way. Follow the PACS and the family companies. Who said power corrupts? Everyone should be exposed on both sides of the aisle. My apologies to the few that have integrity.

[Jeff J. · Rating 5 out of 5]

It appears Peter Schweizer has done the opposition research for the Trump reelection campaign for them. While the egregious misdeeds of Joe Biden and his family have received the most attention, many other “progressive” candidates come under criticism. The work that Elizabeth Sanders and Bernie Sanders have done on behalf of corporations is especially hypocritical. It’s disheartening that so many of these fools believe they are worthy of elective office given the corruption in their past. The book is extremely well-documented, the number of footnotes on each page is almost a distraction, and the extensive endnotes could warrant a volume of their own.

[John Mcgeorge · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rather than playing the part of political shill and backseat litigator, Schweizer dispassionately follows the money trails of several prominent politicians. It is worth reading all the way to the acknowledgements, which he ties back to the narrative, and challenges us as citizens to not just exercise our right to vote, but to know what we are voting for.

[Jeanette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Follow the money. Disgusting.

Fabulous research to the precise personal histories. Bank accounts, power plays (pay to play at the 1000 player levels), duplicity of "honor" and character fully exposed.

Corrupt to their toenails. And never, ever more apt to negate or despise the "chumps", clingers and deplorables while they smile to their faces.

Excellent quality work. Nearly the opposite of what is considered any form of journalism for the last 10 years in the USA. Which it is not at all- because the entire basis of journalist truth has mostly vanished into a political activist elite "job". You cannot name it journalism at all, what they do.

This is journalism. Who, what, where, when, why.

I knew this book would make me angry, and it did. I hate the corruption that seems to follow power. I'm not naive enough to think that there is corruption on only one side which makes Trump's outsider position even more appealing. If there were ever a valid argument for term limits, this book is it.

An Eye Opener

We think we know politicians from what we hear from main stream media and from how the pols portray themselves. We don’t. Very revealing book. Well worth the read.

[Linda Schmidt]

Even though Peter Schweizer’s title is reminiscent of Profiles in Courage, the author profiles current politicians who illustrate greed rather than any positive traits. He does this with thorough documentation. Schweizer begins with former Vice President Joe Biden’s use of his office to enhance his family’s wealth. Biden corrupted his office not only by providing his son millions of dollars from China and Ukraine, but also securing both his brothers’ lucrative holdings in foreign countries. Similarly, the author highlights Bernie Sanders’ sly use of his wife as his media-buyer to enhance the family’s coffers. Readers who want to be well-informed voters should use Schweizer’s Profiles in Corruption as a source.

[Kevin Keating · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a depressing book. Well researched, it exposes the ways in which seemingly all of our prominent politicians including those running for President, hide massive political contributions and then use that money to help out friends and relatives and contributors. Looks at Biden, Klobuchar, Kamala Harris, Bernie, and many others. The one I knew least about and one of the most corrupt is Mayor Garcetti of Los Angeles. You just have to read it and see if you still respect anyone in politics. If anyone would ever investigate and then make sure that convictions are enforced (and not later expunged), things might get better.

[Cindy McBride · Rating 5 out of 5]

As with all the Peter Schweizer books I've read, this one is chock full of footnotes and factual references. It's a scathing indictment of those current liberal/progressives who claim to have such high ideals and morals, yet don't live by them in their own lives. This is certainly required reading for all those who want to make an informed choice come November 2020. A stunning addition to the history books of this time in our history, for those authors/publishers who have the strength of character to write the truth, even when it hurts or embarrasses.

[Steve · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well written and informative; however , the liberal and progressive movement is not limited to embezzlement and self-gratification but the deterioration of principals and ethics.
Unfortunately, the blatant abuse of power is not limited to just one side of the isle. As long as “we the people” continue to give the government more power, they will continue to abuse it. The only answer is to downsize government’s footprint and stop giving them the opportunity.
The author addresses this in the end.
