Recently, NewsMax pundit John LeBoutillier chatted with Ed Klein, the author of the upcoming book "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President."
For the first time, NewsMax can reveal details of what is inside "The Truth About Hillary," which will be excerpted in the next edition of Vanity Fair, due out June 8.
John tells NewsMax's Insider Report: "It is safe to say that none of the dozens of biographies of Hillary Clinton have ever been as well-researched as this one. Klein talked to almost 100 people close to Hillary going back to the 1960s.
"Nor have any of them been written by a professional journalist with such impeccable credentials. Team Clinton undoubtedly plans a fierce counterattack on Klein as soon as the book is published - that is always their MO - but with this author they are going to have a tough time."
LeBoutillier notes that Klein, a former New York Times Magazine editor, comes from the bastion of the liberal, so-called "mainstream media."
Klein has worked for the most liberal publications in the United States.
After a stint working for United Press International overseas, Klein joined Newsweek, where he became Foreign Editor and then Assistant Managing Editor with jurisdiction over foreign and military affairs.
As editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine for 11 years, 1977 to 1988, Mr. Klein led that flagship publication of the Sunday Times to new heights of public interest and editorial excellence. During his editorship, The New York Times Magazine won the first Pulitzer Prize in its history.
In 1989, Mr. Klein became a Contributing Editor with Vanity Fair. Among his many articles were stories on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and on Aristotle Onassis's granddaughter, Athina Onassis Roussel.
But it is as an author of nonfiction books that Ed Klein has made the most news. His two most recent books - "The Kennedy Curse" and "Farewell Jackie" - have caused great controversy.
Despite stories of unhappiness from the Kennedy family about Klein's books, these were not "slam pieces" by a Kennedy-hater. Indeed, they were well-researched books based on interviews with people who knew the principals involved.
It is this exact same technique that forms the basis for "The Truth About Hillary."
LeBoutillier says the book will give a sensational blow-by-blow account of the Clintons' private and public life.
The first wave of publicity for the book will kick off on June 8, when Vanity Fair prints an excerpt from "The Truth About Hillary."
LeBoutillier says the book will reveal Hillary's struggle with New York's Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan to get his seat. Though a Democrat, Moynihan had little use for Hillary.
LeBoutillier writes:
"Seven years later - after her husband's impeachment - Hillary Clinton decided to run for Pat Moynihan's Senate seat from New York. First Lady Hillary Clinton came to ask for Senator and Mrs. Moynihan's blessing and endorsement, visiting the Senator in his Washington D.C. living room - this time at the Watergate hotel and apartment complex.
"Pat Moynihan was recuperating from recent back surgery and hadn't been up to the Hill for weeks. A longtime Democratic stalwart going all the way back to the Kennedy Administration, as well as a famous Harvard professor, author and UN Ambassador, Daniel Patrick Moynihan was already an American political legend.
"Hillary came into their living room expecting a cakewalk of an endorsement meeting. Instead, things quickly grew ugly. Both the Senator and his wife, Liz, went 'after' Hillary for her years of lies, deceptions and exaggerations. Clearly there was no love lost between the Moynihans and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"As Liz Moynihan questioned Hillary about her repeated dishonesty, and as Hillary dodged and weaved and lied even more, Pat Moynihan could take it no longer. He stood up and said, 'I have to go up to the Senate.' He left - but actually just went next door to another apartment to get 'away from Hillary.'
"Still, a few months later Hillary got what she had wanted: the prized photo 'op' at the Moynihans' upstate farm. There, as she announced her candidacy, Pat and Liz Moynihan stood and in effect gave their 'blessing' to this out-of-stater who was parachuting in to create her own base for an inevitable White House run.
"Oddly, Pat Moynihan never uttered Hillary's name - not even once - during this event. He could not bring himself to mention Hillary by name - but the press reported his 'endorsement' just the same.
"And Hillary went on to win his Senate seat.
"That is the story of both Clintons: Despite reservations by others who might stand in their way, the Clintons always get what they want - and they always get away with whatever it takes.
"Their sense of inevitability overcomes all obstacles."
LeBoutillier says this particular book serves an invaluable purpose: cutting through the mainstream media's pro-Hillary propaganda and giving readers a look at the lying, manipulating, dishonest - and extremely dysfunctional - former First Lady who has been on an inexorable march to the Oval Office for over 30 years.
Yeah while looking out from your padded room, IMO. You're the one who is promoting her while leaving out the caveat of her influence in getting the FALN terrorists pardoned.
Just stating a fact about hillary that you "conviently" left out.
Actually I remember the press saying there was bad blood between she and Pat Moynihan when she was getting ready to run. This is not a new story.
That would have been awesome if Joe Klein had written this book.
So, Moynihan reveals himself to be, once again, just the drunken, sleazy, maneuvering politician I'd always known him to be.
Still, as a deal politician, he's now considered a "statesman" by the Lamestream Media.
Vanity Fair exposing hillary's bad side? I sincerely hope they don't have photos.
There is something ironic about Moynihan's disdain for Hillary's lies and then he lies to her about where he's going. LOL
they just want to get the negative stuff out of the way before her u.s. senate run next year.
Good point. Politicians lie between breaths.
So why do they (Clinton's) get what they want? Why did the Moynihan's stand by and effectively endorse her?
It would be easier to get a Terrorist in on Air Force One than through the Mexican border.
Mexican banditos have been running the border with the USA for a long time. There are many stories about Mexicans paying other Mexicans to get into the USA. Those bandidos watch the border and shake down anyone who wants to cross it.
There is another group that watches the border from the Mexican side. Those are the drug smugglers.
Those two groups, the people smugglers and the drug smugglers, know that if a terrorist gets trough and does some damage these border will be closed tighter than a drum. The easy money days will be over. The thing they must prevent is Terrorists getting through the Mexican Border.
A terrorist with out money or arms is pretty helpless in the USA. Those who would try to cross the Mexican border would need to have money or Arms on them.
Should a terrorist try to cross the border they banditos would take their money, kill them. If the Terrorists defend themselves with weapons they would be destroyed. In fact Killing Terrorists for Money has very likely happened many times.
It is interesting that in World War I, World War II, and the Cold War spies and saboteurs never tried to enter the USA through the Mexican border. It was as open then as now.
Germany tries to sabatuers from subs off our South Eastern Coast. We caught them. Russia brought them in as Russian embassy officials.
None ever successfully used the Mexican border even though from our side it was an open, poorly guarded border.
It has been over 2.5 years since 911 and they still have not gotten a terrorist through the Mexican border. I doubt that they even try.
Moynihan was sick and tired; did not last long after he retired.
maybe that is the answer.

SSgt Tim, that behavir of hers seems to e a pattern, when she was in the Whitehouse she had the same rule, anyone who looked at her were cursed with the foulest of language.
Wonder why she doesn't want anyone looking at her?
Put her in a micro mini, that should do it!
You are correct, but it will only take one. In a society of thieves, there are no standards, just a larger bribe.
And to rely on criminals to protect us?
I'm so glad the Clintons didn't move back to Arkansas. She, Hillary, hated the State of Arkansas and its people. I feel sorry for the good people who live in New York because she doesn't give a damn for them either.
Betcha the FBI files she has are not mentioned.
