James Comey just got 2 million dollars richer.
According to the AP:
Flatiron Books told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Comey is writing a book about leadership and decision making that will draw upon his career in government. Comey will write about experiences that made him the FBI’s best-known and most controversial FBI head in recent times, from his handling of the bureau’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s private email server to allegations of ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
According to Flatiron, Comey will cite “examples from some of the highest-stakes situations in the past two decades of American government” and “share yet-unheard anecdotes from his long and distinguished career.”
The book is currently untitled and scheduled for publication next spring.
Let’s be honest here. NO ONE is reading the book to learn about Comey’s “leadership and decision making.” They just want the juicy bits. That’s like saying people ACTUALLY read Playboy for the articles.
While I suppose it’s his right to do so, the fact that he’s running to write a tell-all after everything that happened doesn’t look quite as….dignified as he wants everyone to believe he is. He comes off as just another political grifter.
The book is set to be published next Spring. At the rate this political news cycle goes, will many people still care?
I can tell you now I’m not reading it. …Will you?
