Barack and Michelle Obama sign record book deals with Penguin Random House

[phrodeau]

I do not rant and rave and I did not confuse Obama with Clintons, both dishonored their country, both aided and abetted the enemy, both were lawless.

And neither left any evidence of having done so.

These so called book deals are a way to laundry money to corrupt politicians. What you have to really trace is where the money came from and who is behind it and why. First off most books written by politicians, or people from Hollywood, etc are ghost written. We have a friend who does this for a living. Gets a few notes from the person and their agents and managers and then fills in the blanks and add a few nice sounding verbs, etc and like magic "they" wrote a book. The fact that most of them like Hillary's books end up on the 99 cent pile at the book stores just proves that it was fake and the money was pay off or bribes or kick backs that come out as "book deals". I'm sure the publisher gets a percentage of the bribe as they won't make any real money on the actual book.

Money from where? You assert that and then run off on ghost writers (purposeful deflection in the delivery of fake news?), which has nothing to do with the passage of the money. You seem very confused on how money laundering works. I'm not surprised. You're just smearing mud--or thinking you are.

Au contraire. I've been published academically. Award-winning nonfiction actually so I know exactly how advances work. THESE ARE NOT CONVENTIONAL ADVANCES. Think they are going to ask for the advance back if Obama's ghost is late? Yeah, sure! These books STEAL from legitimate authors plain and simple!

Newsflash: Obama is a "legitimate author," and it's been proven more than once. He's not going to use a ghost.


Sorry to say, your Breitbart bylines don't really count as "being published."

Penguin Random House, for profit motives, using money that was acquired honestly through book sales and requires no laundering.

So they say. But how do we know that it wasn't a sum put up by a PAC/Wall Street Cartel that was given to Penguin House to publish the book? All very up and up but accomplishing the payoff all the same?
