UNTOUCHABLE How Powerful People Get Away With It

Author Elie Honig, a CNN legal analyst, proves to be a capable narrator. Not blessed with an exceptional voice, he narrates his explanatory audiobook with a sure understanding of his arguments, which are based on his long experience as a prosecutor, primarily in the Southern District of New York. He draws on his takedowns of criminals ranging from Mafiosi to white-collar perpetrators to inform his thesis that the rich and well-connected are able to insulate themselves from punishment. The powerful--be they superrich or politicos--are tough to prosecute. He does profile exceptions--Epstein and Weinstein--and tells harrowing stories of the Gambino crime family. He details why it's unlikely that Donald Trump will ever be convicted of wrongdoing. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
