Oh, what a tangled web we weave...

I'm normally not on Jeff Bezos' side since he's the richest man on earth, needs no sympathy and knows full well that public scrutiny comes with the territory of being famous and wealthy. But I've got to cheer him on for this bit of chutzpah he just pulled against the National Enquirer. He had the money to do it too, by flipping the coin and hiring his own personal investigators to go after AMI for their little extortion and blackmail scheme that targeted him personally. Trump verses Bezos by proxy through their essentially personal news outlets, investigators, reporters and lawyers. What a story. Sampson verses Goliath. WAPO verses the National Enquirer. Bezos verses Pecker. It's got all the ingredients for a great gossip rag, but it's definitely not something the National Enquirer wants to let see the light of day. No more catch and kill this time. It's so twisted and convoluted that it involves a lot of characters by now. Trump, The Saudis, AMI, David Pecker and Bezos along with their sordid personal secrets, extortion schemes and perhaps some side dirty political favors and influence peddling.

Trump, the Saudis and AMI you say? What's the connection? Why getting them to publish a polished propaganda rag to bolster Trump's vision of a great and wonderful Saudi Prince, the very same despot who ordered the murder of a journalist from his own country. The same journalist who also happened to work for WAPO, a newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos. And Mr. Trump happens to be the ONLY idiot who believes the Saudi Prince was not involved in the murder and Trump is the only person who could convince the owner of his bastion he calls "real news", the National Enquirer, to publish such an obvious trash piece. Oh, that dictator love runs deep in Trump's tiny orange brain.



Needless to say, the Southern District of New York's prosecutors are know reviewing Bezos' information to see if AMI violated their agreement to stay squeaky clean of any political criminal behavior during AMI's three year probationary period that resulted from their cooperation in the Michael Cohen case. And you know that this is Bezos' payback against AMI and David Pecker, and possibly Trump, for them snooping into his personal life looking for dirt to publish.

Yeah, this whole thing is pretty amusing.

The National Enquirer is such a horrible publication I wouldn't shred it and use it for cat litter, it would be unclean.
