"Crisis of Character"
The nonpartisan Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service (AFAUSSS) will reportedly release a statement ripping the book, which Politico says “very carefully calls Byrne a liar.”
From Politico:
AFAUSSS, which is strictly nonpartisan, is set to release a statement blasting Gary Byrne author of “Crisis in Character,” saying members “strongly denounce” the book, which they add has made security harder by eroding the trust between agents and the people they protect..
"There is no place for any self-moralizing narratives, particularly those with an underlying motive,” reads the statement from the group’s board of directors, which says Byrne has politics and profit on his mind.
AFAUSSS rarely issues public statements of any kind.

The book has rankled current and former members of the Secret Service, who don’t like anyone airing their business in public — but who also take issue with Byrne inflating his role.
Byrne was a uniformed officer in Bill Clinton’s White House.
But that’s the lowest level of protection within the White House and around the president.
People familiar with West Wing security laugh at the idea that Byrne or any uniformed officer ever would have walked in on Bill Clinton anywhere, whether in a meeting or, as a New York Post article over the weekend claims, in the middle of a make-out session in the Map Room with the late daughter of former Vice President Walter Mondale. The Secret Service presidential detail would have stopped him. (That affair was a well-worn rumor during the Clinton years, though strongly denied by Eleanor Mondale, who died of brain cancer in 2011.)

The group’s statement, which POLITICO obtained in advance of its release, very carefully calls Byrne a liar.
“One must question the veracity and content of any book which implies that its author played such an integral part of so many [claimed] incidents. Any critique of management by one who has never managed personnel or programs resounds hollow.
Additionally, why would an employee wait in excess of ten years after terminating his employment with the Service to make his allegations public?”
Cha Ching!

A few "choice" excerpts....
According to Gary, a guard got fed up with Lewinsky’s insistence that she shouldn’t be kept waiting and he spilled the beans that President Clinton was with another woman — allegedly with Mondale.
Guard: “You have to wait. He’s with his other piece of a**. Wait till he’s finished.”

There are salacious details exposed in the book that get even more juicy when reports of the folks who said they had to clean up after the president following his White House liaisons are exposed.
Reports of semen- and lipstick-stained White House towels that contained lipstick that didn’t match Monica’s shade — and wasn’t traced to Mondale — are the controversial stuff the book is made of.
A petty officer named Nel explained the findings. (Nel?)
“Nel explained that he’d been finding — and cleaning — semen- and lipstick-stained towels for weeks. I was shocked. If the stains didn’t rinse out, he’d carefully remove them by hand. He was terrified that if he passed them on to other Navy laundry personnel downstairs he’d not only reveal Bill Clinton’s affairs, he’d embarrass the presidency itself.”
The lipstick was traced to a West Wing receptionist — not to Lewinsky or Mondale.
Ah Ha!!!

Gary Byrne describes Mrs Clinton as "volcanic, impulsive, and enabled by sycophants".
He claimes to have "personally observed President Bill Clinton's infidelities".
On one occasion in 1995 he heard Mrs Clinton's "booming voice" from the White House living quarters as the first couple argued.
Later, a glass vase was found smashed on the floor.
The next day, the president showed up with a steak on his blackened eye.
(Was it a Trump steak? That's about all they're good for.)
Mr. Byrne said when he asked about the "shiner" he was told by President Clinton's press secretary that it was the result of an allergy to coffee.
From The Mayo Clinic:
Combating Dark Circles Under Eyes
1) Stop drinking coffee or any caffeine containing drinks for one. Being a coffee addict is probably one of the major causes of dark rings under the eyes for many people.

I can't believe people put down good money for Bryne's book and this is all they got...
Hillary threw a vase at then-President Clinton and gave him a black eye.
And these two juicy tidbits....
“There was this guideline where she didn’t want to see [White House staff],” Byrne opined.
“My experience with them is they don’t like the military and they don’t like law enforcement.”
(Isn't Hillary known as a war hawk?)
“And my personal feeling based on what I saw is she does not like men,” he added.
(Ooooh, code for "secret lesbian").
