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.

Una evasión de 600 mil millones de pesos: una cifra cuarenta veces superior al desfalco de Segalmex. "Todos los negocios jugosos que se hacen en el país llevan el visto bueno del presidente". Con esta frase, Andrés Manuel López Obrador pretendía sentar las bases de una nueva moral pública; sin embargo —y en este libro se demuestra— esa sentencia se convirtió en el mayor indicio de una traición sistémica. Mientras el gobierno presumía el fin del robo de combustible en los ductos, una red de corrupción mucho más sofisticada y letal perforaba las finanzas del Estado: el huachicol fiscal.
