How to Leave the Trump White House With a Million Dollar Parachute
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/magazine/trump-book-javelin.html
The Washington-based literary agency Javelin has mastered the art of the Trump tell-all book — and come up with a blueprint for how to get out of the administration in one piece.
On May 10, 2017, less than 24 hours after President Trump fired James Comey as F.B.I. director, Comey received an email from a man he had never met. The correspondent, Matt Latimer, began by praising Comey’s “decades of faithful service to the United States government and to the cause of law and order” and offering sympathy for the “tumultuous period” he was going through. Then Latimer got to the heart of the matter. As the head of a Washington literary agency called Javelin, he wanted Comey to know that if he ever had any interest in writing a book — “and we’d urge you to consider the possibility” — he wanted Comey as a client.
“Javelin is prepared to invest in you and your story,” Latimer wrote. “It’s the least we can do for someone who has given so much to our country.”
Comey did not want to write a book. He sent Latimer a polite response saying as much. But several months later, he began to warm to the idea, and he thought back on his correspondence with Latimer. “There was something about the tone of his email,” Comey recently told me. “I just liked the tone.”
