On February 17, 2012, Christian Wulff resigned from his position as Federal President after 598 days. Although the last accusation against him proved to be unfounded in court, the public humiliation extended beyond the day of his acquittal. Never before have the media in our country pursued a politician in such a manner. The behavior of the public prosecutors in Celle and Hanover also raises questions. Was everything above board? After others have previously dealt with the Wulff affair, Christian Wulff now describes from his perspective how the scandal was staged, what happened behind the scenes, and what it feels like to be subjected to such massive attacks. He also acknowledges his own mistakes. "From the top to the bottom" is a thought-provoking lesson about politics, the press, and the judiciary.
