A ex staffer writes a book and critiques his former boss. Humm where have we seen this before?

Seems to be the way to get rich these days.. I don't mind some ex staffer exposing things they think is wrong for the good of the country,, However when they do it for a big payday.. Well then they loose quite a bit of credibility. At that point no matter if what he says is true or not, you have to view it with an extra layer of skepticism.
Snowden for example could have made millions off the stuff he brought forward. It could of made enough money to disappear and not be found if he wanted to. Instead he brought forward info that needed to see public light, at great harm to himself and didn't make a dime for doing it.
These guys that write books and try to expose stuff, I don't care who or what, in the end they are seeking profit and with that in mind their opinions are usually flawed with the need to juice things up.
