Like winning the lottery without even buying a ticket
"...book publishers are complicit..."
If he's not lucky it will be a bullet in the back of the head, "street robbery" Seth Rich style.
Will he complain about all the great things he did that trump undid ,LOL
Will Ayers and Dohrn write these ones too?
Conman cashing in ALERT!
I’ll wait for it to arrive in the dollar bin at Target...and I’ll walk on by! After all,I’ve already read “Rules For Radicals”...what more do I need to know?
$65 million??? This is clearly mulatto privlidge.
“Rules for thee, but not for me.”
How does the publisher recover $65 million?
They will not. This is discretionary expense footed by the parent companies of Random House (Bertelsmann of Germany and Pearson of UK) which are both massive media conglomerates. It is the payoff for being popular with global elites...

“It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming ‘community organizer,’ had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World - where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working ‘only to educate’ - both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers.”

It’s just a way to legally give corporate money to well positioned liberals.
Publishers know they will never recover that kind of front money from book sales.
"What's Happening - to my legacy?"
Money laundering.
Payback for all the backs he scratched with taxpayer money.
I really think that the lifetime Presidential Pension should be means tested. Same thing with their staff. What the hell does an ex-President need staff for?
Pretty sure that was about cash for speeches and appearances in Japan, not memoirs.
