Praise for THE RAINBOW CHASER: THE MAN WHO GAMBLED FOR SUCCESS AND BROKE EVEN by Robert Livingston"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“Most memoirs are typically either a big yawn or self-conceited narcissism wrapped in embellishment. This one is neither. Bob Livingston is a good man, a giant among legislators, especially balanced appropriators, and a person to look up to. This story of begats and political pilgrimage weaves a tale of a life well-lived, of a patriot who loves and served his country, and as a gentleman with a good heart, sense of humility, social graces, and honest devotion to freedom and the rule of law. The Rainbow Chaser is a worthwhile read as an insider account to political power in Washington, DC and the rise to such prominence. It is a Mr. Livingston Goes to Washington story about a person who tried to do well, while doing good. On that face alone it is most instructive—as both a warning and as a model to emulate. It is however the second half of this tome that makes the book eye-catching, vibrant, and dead-on target. Those the chapters are all about political lawfare, in a detailed, grainy and unswervingly truthful fashion. The treatment is therefore a valuable  and informed expose of the Deep State. This memoir is foremost a cry against a rogue DOJ.”—THEODORE ROOSEVELT MALLOCH, scholar-diplomat-strategist, and a professor at Yale and Oxford
