A The project came to light when a source directed Axios to a page on the HarperCollins website showing the placeholder cover of a Comer book with a provocative title, “All the President’s Money,” and a purported publication date of September 10th.
But no book is imminent and there is no book deal, Comer’s staff tells Axios.
HarperCollins said the link was posted in error, and Rep. Comer asked that it be removed.
Apparently negotiations for the book were so long that a page had been created for it and a publication date had been assigned.
It appears that Congressman Comer was trying to use Biden’s evidence-free impeachment to cash in, which says a lot about Comer’s motivations and why he was pushing so hard to try to turn his evidence-free investigation into a reality of impeachment.
Comer had a book deal up for grabs. No wonder he pushed for the president to be impeached. The fact that Comer was actively pursuing a publishing deal while allegedly investigating the president reeks of a conflict of interest and potential corruption.
After Democrats gain a majority in the House, they may have to investigate this Republican impeachment attempt and whether any laws were broken by anyone in the current House majority.
