Friends who have done lots of book signings say the number one question asked is, “Where’s the bathroom?” Once patrons see his sign, they won’t need the bathroom.
The book title is “What I Saw” ?? The sequel, perhaps, to “What He Said!” And how many authors have you seen who could say just that? But don’t forget to buy the book first …
Looks like a future book signing for a certain Public School Police Chief in Texas. He was going to order the classroom breach but then remembered, “It’s a GOOD guy with a gun” that can stop the bad guy. So he waited for a good guy to take command. Thank god for the DEA.
Pols and owners/managers of major corps hire someone to frame their actions in the best light or to sow confusion in the search for truth. One fiction book called that position perception manager, which may be a twist on publicity agent. It’s an apt descriptive term that has many applications, especially in politics and a company’s public policy.
Lots of these books are written by members of the press, regurgitated from the stories they filed, including material that couldn’t be vetted at press time.
There are so many of these coming out now that they should be illegal. The authors should be forced to pay double royalties / profits to right the wrongs they failed to prevent in the first place.
Here is the curse of a long memory, in this case going back nearly half a century (tho abetted by my good friend Wikipedia):
The Saturday Night Massacre was a series of events that took place in the United States on the evening of Saturday, October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal. U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox; Richardson refused and resigned effective immediately. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; Ruckelshaus refused, and also resigned. Nixon then ordered the third-most-senior official at the Justice Department, Solicitor General Robert Bork, to fire Cox. Bork carried out the dismissal as Nixon asked. Bork stated that he intended to resign afterward, but was persuaded by Richardson and Ruckelshaus to stay on for the good of the Justice Department.
The political and public reactions to Nixon’s actions were negative and highly damaging to the president. The impeachment process against Nixon began ten days later, on October 30, 1973. Leon Jaworski was appointed as the new special prosecutor on November 1, 1973, and on November 14, 1973, United States District Judge Gerhard Gesell ruled that the dismissal had been illegal. The Saturday Night Massacre marked the turning point of the Watergate scandal as the public, while increasingly uncertain about Nixon’s actions in Watergate, were incensed by Nixon’s seemingly blatant attempt to end the Watergate probe, while Congress, having largely taken a wait-and-see policy regarding Nixon’s role in the scandal, quickly turned on Nixon and initiated impeachment proceedings that would end in Nixon’s resignation.
So was the nation better served by Robert Bork than by Elliot Richardson? Well, given the way Congress operated at the time, a good case could be made in favor of the sycophantic replacement who just rolled over for the malign president. Today’s Congress? Hah!
Right. People talked, people tried to get the media and DOJ to listen, and so many of them ended up Arkancided. Those who weren’t Arkancided were simply ignored by all news media.

There is absolutely no way I’d ever spend money even a little of which would go to support the full disclosure insider above.

It also helps if the author has already spent years lying to the public, with the public already knowing that honesty from them is unlikely.

tad bit amusing that you have to read books for “alternative” facts, and news media (NYT, WaPo, Faux, et al) for fiction.

At least they went on the record eventually, so that the truth may be more closely approached.

If you can’t profit from the crime, perhaps you can profit from the results. Prisons do, apparently.

This is why Son of Sam laws prohibit people from Profiting by writing Books about their crimes.
Sadly, you have to get Convicted for those laws to kick in.
