    It’s a standard way to funnel campaign donations into your personal bank account. You negotiate a big percentage of each book sell with the publisher or self publish, have a ghost writer whip out a book, then use campaign money to buy the books to hand out at rallies.

    So you get a 30% cut of each sale and you buy 1mil of books with politcal donations, boom! You just got 300k, and you profit from any rube actually buying the book out in the world.
