Opinion on two other books. there is nothing for you here, by fiona hill. ayman? >> i thought it was a very revealing book because again, this is a woman who was at the center of the impeachment of donald trump, just based on everything she had witnessed. and the fact that she talked about her own personal journey, a woman who had served both administrations, and sometimes we lose sight of that in this country, when you think of the civil servants that we have and how politicized weve become tha...
