James Comey To Score Huge Money as Speaker, But Pissing Off Conservatives Will Cost Him
James Comey To Score Big Bucks as Speaker But Pissing Off the Right Will Cost Him
James Comey can make a fortune yakking in front of crowds, but he could make more if he didn't piss off conservatives.
We've spoken with a number of people who run celebrity speaker companies, and they all say Comey could pull between $75,000 and $100,000 a speech ... at least in the short term.
To put this in context, the people who run these services say $75k - $100k is top of the heap in terms of money, with the exception of an exclusive club -- the POTUS club.
We're told Barack Obama broke all records recently with a $400,000 gig. We're told Bill Clinton pulls between $200k - $250k a speech.
We're told conservative groups typically pay more than liberal orgs, and Comey is now at loggerheads with folks on the right, so those groups won't pay a premium and the folks we spoke with say that also makes Comey's shelf life as a speaker shorter.
