Former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey isn't quite the book bonanza he's been touted as. His book opening shows it. And, well, look at the book he's selling: with little more than florid descriptions to speak for his otherwise content-free book, and no big revelations, what we get from it is that he has a high opinion of himself, he's mad about getting fired, and he wants revenge. Yeah, yeah. And as the subject of his own book, he lacks the usual affection bestowed upon such people from the rabidly left-wing Occupods or the less rabid Hillaryites, because, well, he ran the FBI.
So now we see just about nobody showing up for the book's launch at the prestigious Kramerbooks, at the heart of the capital, on Dupont Circle at its opener. The Weekly Standard noted that there were more cameras than customers for this washed up bureaucrat's hectoring dialectic about his own virtue, and the store sold only about a dozen books, many to reporters.
It didn't stop at Kramerbooks. Stephen Kruiser of Pajamas Media noted that the New York Times wrote an unflattering review of Comey's book tour behavior, here, because he made himself at home in the gutter, seemingly in an audition bid for an MSNBC commentator slot. He didn't actually do what a buyer of books might want him to do, which is tell us something new. As Thomas Lifson accurately noted the other day, the signs have been out there that we have already reached "Peak Comey," and the miserable sales from his book launch are a strong one.
Apparently, people in Washington, D.C., who are often swamp things, can see the game he is playing well. First there is the rollout, then the sycophantic questions from political allies, such as George Stephanopoulos,

Those that are showing up are probably looking for the clown show.
The fool does not get that he’s managed to alienate BOTH sides of the aisle.
Only diehard Swamp critters who like having corrupt guys hanging around law enforcement are his fanboys.
It’d be more instructive to observe weasels at a local zoo.
The guy leaked classified info for a nefarious reason besides.
Hope I used that big word properly.
‘And as the subject of his own book, he lacks the usual affection bestowed upon such people from the rabidly left-wing Occupods or the less rabid Hillaryites, because, well, he ran the FBI.’
No, not because he ran the FBI. It’s because he [according to the Left] trashed Hillary before letting her skate, and then reopened the investigation just in time to negatively impact the outcome of the election. These are ‘crimes,’ the Left will not forgive.
As others have pointed out, the purpose of his book tour is not to sell books. It’s purpose is to control the news cycle.
The Hillary people hate him and won’t buy his book.
The Trump people hate him and won’t buy his book.
And, the people who couldn’t care less won’t buy his book!
No problem. He got a $2 million advance ...
Soros will probably buy a bunch of them.
He really doesn’t seem to understand this.
...wouldn’t be surprised to see a suicide in his future.
I wouldn’t buy or read his sh*t book if you put a gun to my head. F him.
Thought I read that this jerk is charging people to listen to him talk, on top of having to buy a copy of his doorstop. Now, if he wanted to pay ME to listen to his drivel, plus give me a free copy of “Art of the Deal”, I might be interested.
Well, maybe not...
The man is set for life....
Comey submitted financial documents in 2013 when the Senate was considering him for the job. Those documents showed he had a net worth of more than $11 million. He also said he’d get a payout from the massive hedge fund Bridgewater Associates of more than $3 million if he became FBI director.
And that was BEFORE this book deal.

That book is nothing but a scam to get him some money.
Really. Why does he care?
