Comey cashes in: Seeking 8 figure advance for book deal
American Thinker ^ | 07/16/2017 | Rick Moran

The man Democrats wanted fired when he was director of the FBI and then actually fired by Donald Trump, is seeking an 8 figure advance from publishers to write a book about his life.

Former FBI Director James Comey met with representatives from several publishing houses in New York last week looking to ink a gigantic book deal that will be worth millions of dollars to him. Comey is being represented by one of the most prestigious agencies in the business and competition to get him signed will likely be fierce.

Business Insider:

"It's a book about leadership and his search for truth, informed by lessons and experiences he's had throughout his career, including his recent experiences in the Trump administration," Javelin partner Matt Latimer told the Times.

"It will speak to a broader desire in our country for more ethical leadership."

Comey was unexpectedly fired by President Donald Trump in May, after which Trump said "this Russia thing" had been a factor in his decision. The firing prompted the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to take over the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Comey testified in June before a widely viewed Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, in which he detailed his concerns that Trump had attempted to interfere in an FBI investigation.

According to the Times, Comey's book will not take the form of a salacious tell-all memoir, but will instead delve into his decades-long career as a federal prosecutor, Justice Department official, and eventually FBI director. The book will, however, also touch upon more recent events, including his investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and the FBI's Russia probe.

What a scam. He’ll have to sign a second book deal to refute everything he said in the first book.

Profiting from a crime? Isn’t that illegal?

Also need to look at what other top secret memo information is being used to write this book. This is how Petreus got convicted.

Not surprised someone at war with Trump is cashing in. Book won’t sell and it’ll be the publishing equivalent of Megyn Kelly’s TV show.

How the heck can he get a multi million dollar book deal?

I can only speak for myself, but, I can tell you, I have no interest in his book and won’t buy it.

Hillary’s last book had sales in the toilet. Yet she allegedly pocketed millions from that one.

How can they get such big book deals if the books themselves don’t sell??

Those who buy this book have got to be the biggest suckers of all. Well, other than the publishing company that bids against themselves to buy the rights.

“Hillary’s last book had sales in the toilet. Yet she allegedly pocketed millions from that one”.

The only buyers for Hillary’s books have been the Department of Education. Warehouses full of books no one will ever read.
