Event Description

Michael Wolff characterizes James Patterson as capable of producing a bestseller despite not being regarded as serious writer, and predicts Patterson will publish 'tabloid copy' about Epstein tied to election cycle, with Trump-Clinton angle amplifying media attention 10 to 100-fold or more.

Quoted Evidence

Patterson can be counted on to produce a bestseller, and while he isn't regarded as a serious writer, he'll surely be unloading a lot of tabloid copy. Because this will be tied to the election, the Trump-Clinton angle will amp up the attention 10-fold, in fact, possibly, a hundred fold.
