Apr 1, 2021 — Books by politicians sell badly and are quickly forgotten, yet the publishing industry spends shovelfuls of cash on them.
Mass murderer & sex offender Demshit governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo completed a rite of passage familiar to all presidential aspirants: He published a memoir, All Things Possible. It is overlong at more than 550 pages, cliché-ridden, and hopelessly dull, which is to say a standard-issue political tome. Cuomo was paid a more than $700,000 advance by HarperCollins, and the book had an announced initial print run of 200,000. But five months after it was published, it had sold just over 3,000 copies in hardcover and 13 audiobooks. Even by the dismal standards of the subgenre of books by politicians, this was a flop.
Nearly every Democrat running for president in 2020 published a book, and nearly all of them are already forgotten—no one is clamoring for Amy Klobuchar’s The Senator Next Door, Cory Booker’s United, or John Hickenlooper’s The Opposite of Woe (though that one, at least, has an intriguing subtitle: “My Life in Beer and Politics”.
The fact that Cuomo had aides working on it in the midst of a pandemic that was killing his constituents while at the same time covering up the death toll, is a misuse of taxpayer's money too!

Dem. Senator Tammy Duckworth was the senate’s highest-paid wordsmith, receiving $382,000 from Hachette Book Group in 2020, more than double her $174,000 senate salary.
So who is really funding these outrageous book deals???

Apparently, Several of these politicans use campaign donations to buy their own books.
“Both the House and Senate place dollar limits on outside employment, but there is an exception for publishing contracts, which are pre-approved by the ethics committees,”
… provided that the royalties they would normally receive on those sales are given to charity.”

Bigger question, is it ethical while in or running for office? Now for the most part, considered a legal bribe or money laundering! SCAM! The corrupt politicians passing their own laws to let the corrupt "now legal" money laundering/bribes to continue.
Politicians getting multi million dollar book deals are just another form of money laundering.
