I wonder if future articles will say, “the former publication that was known as The National Enquirer”.
That’s quite a circle of friends Trump has.

And since he and his wife have already split up, no damage to his personal life either.
Not one link to this major story over at Fox News, not one. They sure love their AOC though, she’s featured six times including two of the top three front page stories.
You missed the drama last night when I tried to get it moved back to Politics. Oh well, this story is gonna continue to be a biggie. (As opposed to small hands.) And the fact that there are very major political elements to this story (the company also sending blackmail threats to other reporters covering their legal troubles) and the involvement of Trump corruption make this very much politics. But such is the world we live in. Hopefully, it all comes crashing down on them soon enough thanks to Mr. Mueller.
I found one buried eight rows down from the top. But yeah, they’ve made AOC their patron saint the way they’re featuring her. And the story is buried under the usual celebrity gossip stories they love over there. As always, Fox looks like TMZ lite.
Hilarious that a tabloid outfit thinks they can extort the ritchest man in the world, with material that is of no consequence to him anymore. You can’t fix stupid.

Yeah, ok. lol
I trust the SDNY will do a better job at investigating this corrupt organization.
“Further, at the time of the recent allegations made by Mr. Bezos, it was in good faith negotiations to resolve all matters with him,” the company said. “Nonetheless, in light of the nature of the allegations published by Mr. Bezos, the Board has convened and determined that it should promptly and thoroughly investigate the claims. Upon completion of that investigation, the Board will take whatever appropriate action is necessary.”
The company did not immediately elaborate on what the four-man board will be doing. Pecker is one of the board members.
“Good faith negotiations” 
The New York Times, the paper of record when it comes to journalism, has a great piece on the sleazy past of the National Enquirer that #45, the most corrupt administration in history, has aligned itself with.

And still, not one peep from fat donald.
This political story is soon going to get a lot more interesting.

AMI, in the past, has been investigated for their ties to Saudi Arabia, and during the Trump presidency, Pecker even brought a man named Kacy Grine to the White House as a guest. Grine is an advisor to one of Saudi Arabia’s richest men and has worked ‘as an intermediary between the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Western businesses,’ according to the New York Times. In the 2017 trip to the White House Grine and Pecker had a chance to speak with President Trump as well as his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

They are the dumbest bunch of criminals.
Pick a fight with a man who has basically unlimited resources.
Astounding.
The Post’s report on AMI’s “investigation”. What’s amusing to me is the wording in the Post report that “whether a media company known for its loyalty to President Trump was engaged in legitimate newsgathering, or something else”. Legitimate newsgathering? That’d be pretty rare. I suppose some would call the Edwards story “legitimate,” but the one thing AMI is not is ethical. Just like his buddy Trump, the most corrupt president in American history.
This is hilarious. Not surprisingly, it’s from Fox News.
This article from the Observer really highlights the POLITICS of this situation.
None of which answers the question of how AMI obtained Bezos’ private electronic communications, dick pics and all, in the first place. Here politics enters the drama in an indelible manner. President Donald Trump stands in the background of this scandal, perhaps in more than mere outline. David Pecker, AMI’s boss, is a longtime friend of the president who for years has employed his seedy media empire to protect Trump, specifically by using “catch and kill” to buy off and silence those, especially women, seeking to expose Trump’s private behavior.
Trump hates Bezos and has repeatedly criticized the mogul and his newspaper on Twitter in vehement terms. His tweet on the heels of The National Enquirer publishing Bezos’ texts last month is vintage Trump, mocking and threatening in equal measure: “So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post. Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!” The timing and content of this “modern presidential” tweet raise many questions now.
A hint where this scandal is headed appeared last night when a Post reporter revealed on MSNBC that Gavin de Becker, the security guru to the stars whom Bezos hired to look into AMI, “told us that he does not believe that Jeff Bezos’s phone was hacked, he thinks it’s possible that a government entity might have gotten hold of his text messages.”
The question, of course, is how that happened. The article gives some roundabout (and somewhat remote) suggestions. But then it also says a foreign power (remember Corrupt Donald’s relationship with Russia and Saudi Arabia) could be involved. That doesn’t seem so far out of the loop.
Lou Dobbs is a joke.
Bezos should buy the National Enquirer.
Always has been a joke, even when he was at CNN. It’s always been a laugher to watch him. He was a natural fit for Fox.
Suing it out of existence sounds better.
