“Hillary Clinton reminisced about her last years in the civil service and, in an exceptional burst of honesty, called her book The State of Terror,” another social media user notes ironically.
“State of Terror - what a beautiful name for the country you had under your control.
Oh wait, there is no control, it's just a hole with a huge number of homeless people, like a third world country.
Thank you for reminding us, ”reads another comment.
Some people joked that the name State of Terror reflects the political situation that could develop in the United States if Hillary Clinton won the presidential elections.
“Is this about what would happen if you became president?
A state of terror, ”the message says.
Some bloggers recalled various scandals in which the Clinton family was involved in one way or another.
Among them, for example, the story of the death of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, according to the official version, committed suicide, as well as the White House lawyer Vince Foster.
According to the results of the investigation, the latter also committed suicide, but the media reported on the existence of documents allegedly confirming the involvement of Hillary Clinton in his death.
It was noted that some time after the incident, the papers disappeared without a trace.
“Several working titles: Epstein Island Mystery, Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein ?, The Blue Dress Mystery, Nancy Drew and the Whitewater Mystery, The Vince Foster Murder, Campaign Death.
I have millions of them, ”the Instagram user fantasizes.

According to another blogger, the book could also be published under the following subtitle: "The State of Horror - Clintons in Arkansas, Cocaine, Corruption and the Most Dastardly Murder."
The author of the message emphasized that "of course, there should be non-fiction, it would be nice to know everything first-hand."
“I understand, it's a bit long, but the list of victims is too,” the blogger added.
While discussing the book, users of the social network also recalled the events of 2012 in Libya.
Then the American consulate in Benghazi was subjected to a terrorist attack, the US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other civil servants were killed.
The investigation revealed that the consulate building was not properly guarded.
The parents of the two victims blamed Clinton for the deaths of their children, because she used a private server for work correspondence, which could help the terrorists get the information they needed.
"State of Terror" ????
Is it about how she left those people in Benghazi to die? "
- asks the author of the Twitter post.
“Will you talk about the terrorist attack on the embassy and the secretary of state who ignored requests for help?
I ask for four friends, ”says another publication.
There were also those who remembered about an older scandal - the disclosure of the connection between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
“Hillary Clinton is now writing a novel called State of Terror.
About the presidential residence after the first lady found out about Monica Lewinsky, ”the author of one post ironically suggested.
Among those who commented on the announcement of Clinton's book was the literary editor of The Times, Robbie Millen.
He did not go into details of Clinton's political activities, but he also reacted negatively to the news, saying that "he would prefer that she went to a second term as Secretary of State and was too busy to write a thriller."
Hillary Clinton is writing a thriller with Louise Penny.
State of Terror will be published by Pan Macmillan in October.
I think I would have preferred it if she had been too busy serving a second term to dabble in thriller writing.
