Hillary Clinton is, naturally, working on a new book, this one a collection of essays reflecting primarily on her loss in the 2016 election. The tome is scheduled to drop in September — it's currently listed on Amazon without final cover art as "Untitled Memoir" — and Clinton's friends are already hyping its "bombshell" revelations.

Clinton "really believes" Russian meddling and the email investigation of fired FBI Director James Comey are "why she lost, and she wants to explain why in no uncertain terms," an unnamed Clinton ally told The Hill. "She wants the whole story out there from her own perspective. I think a lot of people are going to be really surprised by how much she reveals."
