"...warehouse in Bangladesh..."


Completely agree. There are not 600,000 people in this country sufficiently interested in reading James Comey’s demented lies.
That figure, if even remotely accurate, can likely be traced to a tiny handful of purchasers. Most of those books will never exit the shipping crate.

I wonder how many copies Comey bought.

(”You mean I could have gotten those for free?”)

Physical copies still in shrink-wrapped pallet loads, sitting in various union hall storerooms.

In the reviews for the book at Amazon
“Charged and refunded to my Visa; came with gift receipt; I did not order this book.

I did not order A Higher Loyalty, but it arrived in the mail today, with a gift receipt. On my orders page, it is listed as having been charged to my Visa card, along with the purchase price reflected as having been refunded.

Be aware that this is a scheme by the publisher or some other party to boost the volume of “sales” by having this book ordered as a gift using your card on file, and simultaneously refunded.”

Someday post-apocalypse survivors will come across a underground bunker and discover millions of sold hillary books....enough paper to fuel their warmth and wipe their butts for months.

Suspect that not long ago Comey reached a critical juncture in his life. Imagine the scene when Loretta Lynch called him into her office. She outlined Obama’s concerns that the Hillary investigation would end in an indictment and that Trump would be elected. Moreover he was concerned that Trump may be elected on his own and that “measures” were being taken to ensure his defeat. Comey’s cooperation would be necessary to effectuate Obama’s wishes. At that moment Comey had a fundamental life altering choice. He could have answered “Madam Attorney General, reassure the President that I will enforce the law.” Lynch wold have told a disappointed Obama that Comey would not play. No doubt some derogatory articles by Obama sycophant “journalists” would appear but Obama would never had the courage to fire him.Of course Comey did not stand firm and instead agreed to do his part in the anti Trump , pro Clinton plot. Suspect since then Comey has been a tortured soul regretting his actions, his lost honor and the harm he has done to the FBI. Suspect it was his conscience that resulted in his famous press coference just before the election. The only way for Comey to absolve himself and to repair the grave damage he did to the FBI is to come clean and tell the whole, unadulterated story. Won’t happen but it would be nice for him and the country if it did.

This doesn’t mean how many were SOLD, merely how many were ordered by book stores. You can get a feel for whether they were sold or not by the fact that they went straight to the discount bins.

One would hope he will be required to spend his wealth on his upcoming legal defense.

Like Jim “Fort Worthless” Wright? The Speaker of the House who had his cronies buy up several thousand copies of his useless tome?

Out of curiosity I looked at Hillary’s book on Amazon. Barely a negative review. Do you think Amazon is ‘Fixing” the reviews?

Check out this review from Amazon! I wonder if this is how the numbers are forced up!

If you cannot read it, the review says:

I will be sending it back.

"...I will be sending it back..."


Yeah, maybe if it came with a prepaid shipping label and the original packing box could also be reused.
Otherwise I would just be demanding my refund and speaking to my credit card issuer about monitoring fraudulent charges.
