First In-Depth Look at Comey's Book
 
A very worthy article by Philip Rucker who snagged an advance copy of the book. No surprises (if you hold Trump in the same low regard as I) but the shallow, unethical and dishonest behavior of the Dotard seems to be the constant in every encounter with Comey.

'Amazon Apologizes for Shipping Ten Thousand Copies of Comey’s Book to White House' New Yorker

"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling it a “regrettable accident,” Amazon apologized on Thursday for shipping ten thousand advance copies of James Comey’s book, “A Higher Loyalty,” to the White House.
Cartons of the book arrived early Thursday morning and kept coming throughout the day, until stacks of the book clogged virtually every hallway and office in the building.
Reportedly, Donald J. Trump was so incensed by the book situation that he screamed at Mike Pence while the Vice-President was in the middle of praising him, one source said.
The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, called any speculation that Trump had ordered Comey’s book “absurd,” adding, “The President does not order reading material.”
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, said that he had “absolutely no idea” how the ten thousand Comey books made their way to the White House, but advised Trump to follow the procedures on the Amazon Web site for returning unwanted merchandise.
“You can print up the return labels at home,” he said. “The books should be picked up and out of there in two weeks, three weeks, max.”
Bezos said that shipping the ten thousand books back to the company’s warehouse would not be overly costly for Amazon. “We get an amazing deal on postage,” he said."

Hearing about the book in the news this morning. And then Trump tweets about it... only bringing more attention to the book.

Thanks for the laughs Bob with my morning coffee.

The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, called any speculation that Trump had ordered Comey’s book “absurd,” adding, “The President does not order reading material.”

Bezos said that shipping the ten thousand books back to the company’s warehouse would not be overly costly for Amazon. “We get an amazing deal on postage,” he said."

The Dotard is dumber than dumb with his two tweets, sounds weak and childish besides drawing attention as Barbara has mentioned.

Comey will make $$$ off this book, and the speaking fees, etc. Happy that Donny and the Repubes will help sales. Amazon will make plenty, too.

Remember the good old days, when retired pols got rich the old fashioned way, by joining K Street firms? Lol.

I can think of a different way of expressing the phrase "untethered to the truth" but it wouldn't be politically correct! The P-grabbers meltdown is epic!

"Former F.B.I. director James Comey’s book, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” has dominated headlines for more than a week, and became an instant blockbuster, selling more than 600,000 copies in all formats during its first week on sale.
Mr. Comey’s publisher, Flatiron Books, has ordered multiple reprints to meet demand, and now has more than a million copies in print." NY Times
