"This is a superb book—beautifully written, engaging, and punchy. It tells Bob Livingston’s own great American story, gives an inside view of historical events, and provides a trenchant analysis of two phenomenon that are corrupting our justice system—Lawfare and the thuggish behavior of a certain prosecutors fixated on headhunting rather than justice.”—WILLIAM P. BARR, former Attorney General
FORMER CONGRESSMAN BOB LIVINGSTON HAS A WARNING FOR ALL AMERICANS
LAWFARE IS A WEAPON THAT IS DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES AND RUINING PEOPLE’S LIVES
THE POLITICIZATION OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM MUST END NOW
Lawfare has been with us since the inception of the country. Both Democrat and Republican prosecutors and investigating agents have misused their authority to pursue otherwise innocent victims over time. But with the arrival of Hillary Clinton at the White House, the practice was refined in tandem with her efforts to pursue all those who offered public criticism about her husband and the Clinton Administration. She was and is as corrupt as anyone in American politics. Her “war rooms” in the White House, the Senate, and at the State Department sowed the seeds for ongoing corruption within the Department of Justice.
Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, once denied a seat on the Supreme Court, adopted the practice of incredible abuse of the American judicial system with relish to accommodate the horribly corrupt Biden presidency and the Democrat agenda. AG Garland was unrestrained in his persecution of innocent Americans, be they protestors at school board meetings, religious and right to life advocates, non-violent January 6’ers, current and former Republican Members of Congress, and last but certainly not least, the past and current President of the United States.
In THE RAINBOW CHASER, former Congressman Bob Livingston lays-out the abuses of power and the weaponization the judicial system that almost destroyed him, his company and staff, his family, and many more innocents, and offers solutions to this national disgrace, including pushing Congress to waive all immunity from prosecutors or investigators who without probable cause target and persecute individuals for personal or political reasons. And once provided full due process, such persons should be held accountable civilly or criminally for misusing their awesome power of state over an individual.
Livingston’s much praised first book, The Windmill Chaser, is a gripping and inspirational memoir recounting his life and work through his days in Congress and work with the Robert Livingston Group. And THE RAINBOW CHASER serves as its worthy sequel, and an indictment of corrupt political warfare being waged on the innocent, and rejection of abuses by specific individuals in the Democrat Party who transgress the American Constitution for political and personal ends.
As a former prosecutor and assistant U.S. Attorney at the DOJ in New Orleans – who worked with the FBI—Livingston is the right person to wage a war of righteous integrity on abuses of the judicial system and bring those guilty of breaking the law for personal gain to justice.
"This is a superb book—beautifully written, engaging, and punchy. It tells Bob Livingston’s own great American story, gives an inside view of historical events, and provides a trenchant analysis of two phenomenon that are corrupting our justice system—Lawfare and the thuggish behavior of a certain prosecutors fixated on headhunting rather than justice—problems that Livington experienced first-hand and must be overcome if we are to preserve our treasured ideal of ‘blind’ justice.”
—WILLIAM P. BARR, former Attorney General and author of #1 New York Times bestseller One Damn Thing After Another
“Taken at face value, Bob Livingston's THE RAINBOW CHASER is a compelling memoir of the life and career of one of the most influential figures in Washington over the last several decades. But what makes it absolutely essential reading is that Livingston tells a cautionary—and riveting—tale about how even when you sincerely try to do everything by the book, your political enemies have endless ways of twisting our corrupt legal system to come after you, and they do this not with the goal of honest disagreement, but to ruin your life as a warning others. THE RAINBOW CHASER tells us what's at stake if we do not rein in America's out-of-control lawfare.”
—MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, editor in chief of The Federalist, senior journalism fellow at Hillsdale College, and bestselling author of Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections
"Bob Livingston has authored a harrowing account of the immense cost borne by victims of the Left's vicious political warfare tactics. This story is a cautionary tale about the outrageous lengths to which extremists will go in abusing the full power of the government and the judicial system to hunt down and persecute their political opponents—told by someone who knows from firsthand experience."
—DEVIN NUNES, Chairman and CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group and former Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
