According to this CNBC story, Pecker has received immunity for ratting on Cohen. As George Takei might say, “Oh my!” Pecker was as deeply in this as Cohen was, maybe more. It’s astonishing that he turned against him. But then again, maybe not.
It’s not astonishing at all to me. The ship is sinking and the rats are desperate to get off, willing to toss anyone else under the bus to save themselves.
By the way, I mentioned it in another thread about the quick outing of a Manafort juror, which you said wouldn’t happen. And on Fox, no less. News stories don’t get suppressed – unless you’re David Pecker, I guess.
He and Trump have been friends since the 1990s, and he has reportedly used his media holdings to shield the president since he was a New York real estate developer and reality television star. Pecker’s publications have defended Trump since he became president, and the media mogul even visited the White House last year, according to The New York Times.
I actually find it quite appropriate, considering those of us who refused to support Trump based on his immoral behavior were told by some 'we are electing a President, not a pastor". For me it was his demeanor as well as openly bragging about adultery and having no remorse that were the deal breakers.
Of course I’m aware his admin was fined. Keep talking about it all you can, but it won’t stop the perp walk coming Trump’s way. Trump is a suitcase full of stupid.
