I had a friend, a close friend, who made about $2 million from book sales and rights. I would see her, and she would say,nI just got $250,000 for the audiobook rights for Europe. It was a crazy few months.

I know there is money to be made in writing. Of course, she is a 55 year old overnight success.

There is author money made in books by a few. The publishing houses of the media conglomerates are a different story. Two million is chump change for them.

Maybe a few democRATs realize how dangerous she is too.

>>Clinton’s advances were payola. What happened to the books was secondary and they were remaindered and given away. The sales didn’t matter.

That’s what I’m saying. For some authors, the advance is much bigger than gross sales will ever be. Pure payola.

For the writers of these expose’s, I bet their advance is quite small and their royalties are pretty small too.

The Obama’s speech announcing support sounded rather forced (perfunctory, over the top). Seemed more obligatory than heartfelt.
She is powerful.
If they’re going to take her down, it must be definitive and fast. Huge setup required.

Hussein did what was expected in public.

Now watch what happens behind the scenes.

This is going to go down in history like the death of Ceaser...et too, Brutus?

There is a simpler explanation that doesn't involve a mysterious cabal of "powers that be" controlling absolutely everything that happens:

It's all about money. Books about candidates are more likely to sell in the months before an election.

So, the powers that be run the media.

Don't forget the media includes conservative publishers who will probably publish a lot of the anti-Clinton books. But they are timing their books to make money too.

The elite want to get rid of Clinton.

The elite would be OK with whomever they can control or get cosy with. Doesn't it make sense that they might be able to control Hillary more?

unknown Obama was given book contracts while still a student at Harvard

Obama was not entirely unknown while at Harvard since it was national news that he had been elected president of the law review.

As I said earlier, this is all old news that has been trying to get traction for years. Small publishers got Gary Aldrich’s book out, and it went no where. No press.

I think this is all a media push to take Clinton out at the convention. I don’t think these people will bother following their rules.

They want to continue the agenda of remaking the country into the third world hellhole that we are sliding into.

Obama/Soros will anoint most likely Biden Warren who could easily beat trump and will continue policies. Obama has a big war chest to dispense.

Dangerous moves

Watch the manipulations.

Yes, but THESE books? These are take down books. Very different

But those are not the publishers who are pushing these high profile books.

There is a good chance Trump can beat Clinton, so getting rid of her is important.

For about 5 minutes. There was no way that he received the large advance that he did because of his fame. Man could not even write.
