Former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch gets book deal
washington examiner ^ | 2/21/2020 | Caitlin Yilek

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, a key figure in the impeachment of President Trump, landed a book deal about her time as a career diplomat.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt told the Associated Press that it would publish Yovanovitch’s memoir, which is expected to be released in spring 2021. Two people familiar with the deal said it was worth seven figures.

The book will reflect on her career from Mogadishu, Somalia, to Kyiv and “finally back to Washington, D.C. — where, to her dismay, she found a political system beset by many of the same challenges she had spent her career combating overseas,” according to the publisher.

“Yovanovitch’s book will deliver pointed reflections on the issues confronting America today, and thoughts on how we can shore up our democracy,” Houghton Mifflin Harcourt said in an announcement.

Yovanovitch was ousted from her position in Kyiv in early 2019 on Trump’s orders. She testified during the impeachment investigation that her reputation was smeared by Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who spread disinformation that she had been blocking corruption investigations into 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president.

Who says incompetence doesn’t get rewarded?

Perfect example right here.

Money laundering. It’s called money laundering.

Yup. Nice big check and she doesn’t even have to write a word, because nobody’s going to buy it anyway.

I'm sure it's going to be a barn burner of a book. Probably sell a round 100 copies to her devoted fans and followers.

WTF?

She was paid at least one million for the book. No way in hell does that book sell enough copies to make money. It’s obvious what they are doing.

Yeah, that’s a shocker.

“Book Deal”; that is politispeak for money laundering for Deep State payoffs.

Hadn’t been written yet and they’re already making room for it in the nickel section of Costco.

I think we've seen this sort of stunt before. Ghost written at a rapid clip, teed up to come out right before the election in November.

Looked her up on Amazon to see if it was for sale yet. Lot’s of expensive T-shirts and coffee mugs. Must be another way they are paying her off.
