Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe lands book deal
The Hill ^ | 09/18/18 | Joe Concha

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has scored a book deal for "The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump," according to an announcement from his publisher.

McCabe was ousted from the bureau earlier this year after a Justice Department inspector general report concluded that McCabe had lied about his disclosures to media. McCabe has denied the allegations and is currently suing the Justice Department for wrongful termination.

The book deal comes just months after former FBI Director James Comey released "A Higher Loyalty," which is highly critical of the president and sold more than 600,000 copies in its first week alone in April.

"I wrote this book because the president's attacks on me symbolize his destructive effect on the country as a whole," McCabe said in a statement through St. Martin's. "He is undermining America's safety and security, and eroding public confidence in its institutions. His attacks on the most crucial institutions of government, and on the professionals who serve within them, should make every American stand up and take notice."

According to the publisher, McCabe will chronicle "a series of troubling, contradictory, and often bizarre conversations" with Trump and other administration officials that he claims in the book "undermine the FBI and the entire intelligence community" while posing a threat to the public.

McCabe began his career with the FBI in a New York field office in 1996. He was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired in March just days before his scheduled retirement and has disputed the inspector general's report about the reasons behind his firing.

If he gets any money, he is going to need it.

What was done to General Michael Flynn unjustly and illegally, should be done to him legally and with a vengeance.

In spades. Put him in jail. Bankrupt him completely.

My daughter used to work at a bookstore in a very liberal city. (she was easily the only conservative in the pit of vipers) She managed the children’s section and stayed out of the fray.

She said the liberals would dutifully line up like penguins at the zoo during feeding time to plunk their money down to show their virtue whenever some idiotic liberal must have book came out.

Lots of sales till the next zookeeper dangles a dead fish, but I highly suspect few are actually read.

Personally I would prefer a headline stating Andrew McCabe lands a STAY IN JAIL.I just hope the wheels of justice, that is if there still is any left, keep on grinding.

“...because George Soros pays for 1 million copies...?”

Exactly. These endless slam Trump “books” are nothing more than vehicles for money laundering.

I came to the conclusion awhile ago that the book advances and royalties paid to the anti-Trump smear mongers via “books” are almost certainly funded by Soros behind the scenes.

And this is how the deep state network operates. Fall on your sword, or get caught, and money will be laundered to you in spades via “a book deal”, or “speaking fees”, or some cush job on Wall Street. Really, this is no different than Hamas paying off a family of a suicide bomber.

Most people tend to agree that the publishing ‘racket’ in the past fifty years....has developed into a game where you own other companies, and use their ‘profits’ to support your book empire. Like you say....various books end up in the bargain bin for $4.

I just can’t imagine more than 40,000 people really having an interest to read over Andrew McCabe. I wouldn’t offer him more than $75k for a book deal.

Any money he collects due to his crimes while in the FBI should be directed to the general US Treasury.

He shouldn’t need it anyway while serving 20-Life.

This (and TV slots) is how the Left is able to SEND MONEY to reward people who did their best to carry out their agenda.

Sucks that we won’t do the same, even though there are plenty of rich conservatives who could underwrite shit-books to launder money, in the same manner.

Who says “crime doesn’t pay”? It does in the Obonzo era.

Figure it’s an old movie reference. Googles, Dennis Miller said the same thing.

Googles “McCabe and Mrs.” without the “Mueller”, yup.

Warren Beatty seems ill-suit to be in a Western.

“Book deals” are just payoffs by leftists to leftists.
