The Times is not alone in profiting off of the so-called resistance. James Comey signed a book deal worth over $2 million and is now selling tickets at $100 each to attend his book tour. The tour will make stops in Portland and San Francisco.
Comey is also in talks for another lucrative deal with Hollywood to turn his forthcoming book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, into a television show or movie.
“Ms. Yates, a distinguished lecturer at Georgetown University, will discuss the independence of the judiciary, the fine points of constitutional law, civil rights in the modern era, criminal justice and prison reform and more with Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter Matt Apuzzo, who has covered the Justice Department under five attorneys general and who has been at the forefront of the special counsel’s investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign,” the Times said.
Is this a tax-deductible event?
Who profits and where does the cash go?
It’s mighty telling that a book by Comey is worth a $2 MM advance and a book by HRC is worth an $8-$12 MM advance.
I mean if you go to a nursery you can get at least 75 lbs of bulls**t in a convenient sack for your money instead of a dumb book.
That people would pay a plugged nickel for a book by HRC is utterly beyond me. Comey might at least be able to tell some sort of convoluted story.
