‘Profiles in Corruption’ Rockets to #3 on Amazon Hours After Book Cover Revealed
Breitbart ^ | 1/10/2020 | rebecca mansoor

Posted on 01/10/2020 3:20:50 PM PST by bitt

Just hours after publishing giant HarperCollins unveiled the cover and title of the upcoming investigative bombshell book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite on Thursday, the book rocketed from #822,128 to #3 on Amazon. The book doesn’t hit bookstores until January 21.

Authored by Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer, Profiles in Corruption is said to contain explosive revelations on leading progressives, including Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown, Eric Garcetti, Amy Klobuchar, and others. As Breitbart News reported on Thursday, sources close to the publisher say the book’s research findings will “upend official Washington.” Among these are new reporting about how five members of the Biden family—the “Biden Five”—siphoned “tens of millions of dollars” in taxpayer money and guaranteed loans. Hunter Biden is just “the tip of the iceberg,” said the source.

A five-time New York Times bestselling author, Schweizer has established a reputation for unearthing major national political scandals.

In 2018, Schweizer’s New York Times #1 bestseller Secret Empires uncovered how Joe and Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China in 2013, only to see Hunter’s firm score a $1.5 billion deal ten days later with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China. The book also blew the lid off the Biden-Burisma scandal in Ukraine, wherein Hunter Biden made up to $83,000 a month with Ukrainian energy giant Burisma as his father led U.S.-Ukraine policy while vice president.

In 2015, Schweizer rocked the political world with the release of his massive New York Times bestseller Clinton Cash, which debuted at #2 and stayed on the bestseller list for 11 weeks. The book revealed how Hillary Clinton’s State Department, along with eight other agencies, approved the transfer of 20 percent

Peter Schweitzer is a damned good reporter. I’ve read most of his books.

I’m rather disgusted at some of the comments on this thread disparaging his work.

As a retired reporter/editor, one thing I know is that you can’t predict what kind of impact your stories will have. You just exercise your best news judgement, put the facts out there, and let the chips fall where they may.

It’s not Schweitzer’s fault that his exposes haven’t landed any deserving corruptocrats in prison.

Schweitzer is a good man and great journalist.

He is doing what a reporter should do.

It is a sad statement that his information is dismissed, ignored or denigrated.

“The Mrs. Is innocent.”

Doubtful. A man rarely can live a life steeped in corruption and his wife remain clueless, especially when the corruption results in tons of income that doesn’t correlate with the job/position. Plus, the whole family is corrupt, so she must’ve noticed that, too. At best, she looked the other way; at worst, she’s knee deep.

I’ll buy it to support Schweizer’s efforts. Even if five people are “converted” by the info he provides, I think it’s worth it.

No need to buy a book that details political corruption if absolutely nothing will be done about it.

You want the author to arrest, try, and imprison them too? I think this kind of investigative transparency deserves attention, so I just ordered my copy. Remember the Swift Boat Veterans? Probably the number one reason why we didn't have a President John Kerry.

Yeah apparently his 2015 best seller Clinton Cash did NOTHING to change anything or hillary would be in prison.

Yeah, well Huber looked between his couch pillows and didn't see anything related to the pantsuit's corruption, so there's nothing to see here. Move along.

It was never the topic of conversation of one news show or one political conversation that I heard or saw.

He is. not only breathing, but is a wealthy man. He therefore has the resources to continue his quest, unlike most of us armchair political generals.

“if absolutely nothing will be done about it.”

Hillary lost the election because of books like this.

She had the perfect resume until she was tainted by corruption.

Hillary lost the election because of books like this.

Her charming personality, laziness, arrogance, tone-deafness, public seizures, uncontrollable coughing fits, and 25 years of political sleaze certainly didn't help.

Ah...no. She lost because our fearless DJT publicly exposed her imperious personality. Not to mention she simultaneously called us deplorable while not campaigning with the effort one needs to win. As others up thread mentioned, this book will sell to Trump voters whose votes are already locked in. Enjoy it!!

Actually, Trump cited Peter Schweitzer’s book several times during the campaign.
