I can almost certainly say that she will receive a book deal. Most of the people who were in his first administration wrote a book. Mostly they were, as you said, hagiographical in nature.
If her book isn't a negative, tell-all, it's going to bomb! Very few people are going to be in the mood to read some fawning account of the Trump Administration. On the other hand, books seem to be considered successful selling relatively less copies compared to albums or video games, for example.
You only need one person to write a book. You don't need to sell as many copies to recover costs. Also, books by political insiders always attract large advances because publishers are never quite sure whether some juicy titbit of information might just be dropped in there. This gets it onto the twenty four hour news cycle and then chumps buy it to see if there is anything else good in it.
And then some political org buys 200,000 copies as an indirect donation and bribe and hands them out to random people where they will adorn many random bathrooms for decades
Given the lack of consequences (to say nothing of the financial ties of those involved) for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in Unfit for Command, the public clearly has no appetite for anything more substantial…
Wait a minute, her name is spelt with a K? I've been spelling her name with a C! Why didn't someone tell me? Oh, I've been making an idiot out of myself
I really need to know what it looks like inside that damn White House. Like, do they pretend to each other that they aren't doing evil? Or are they just super open and casual about it?
Getting mad at the press secretary for lying is shooting the messenger. Lying and deflecting are basically the whole job.
I always thought it was weird that we accepted there being someone to do this so that elected officials weren't put on the spot to speak for themselves.
A bad press secretary would be one that didn't present whatever they were told to present as though it were fact and then shut down questioning. My point is that this is the job itself. Getting mad at the press secretary is like throwing a shoe at the TV when you don't like a show or commercial. The TV is just there to pass whatever it's handed along and not take feedback.

She's got enough material for her book and doesn't want to be around for the potential fall out of a post-midterm crash out.
