MEDIA: TRUMP EVEN HURTS THE RICH, HE'S HORRIBLE FOR EVERYBODY.

But this made me laugh, so thanks for that. Tough to see some regular jokes that don't 'trigger' someone.

Reading his Medium post makes me tend to respect Bezos more.

I don't disrespect Bezos at all, quite likely I admire him for his accomplishments. Most notably his AWS services being the huge cash cow that makes Amazon more than just a little online Walmart.

But most certainly the fact that he stood up and makes available to the public the disgusting aspect of his private life that was being used for blackmail, suggests to me and others he would rather make public which NE thought he was more willing to hide with a payout. Er, or more accurately, extort to hide. But when you can command a pricey payoff from the
POTUS, you can extort anyone, even the lame ol' richest man in America.

Now as far as intelligence goes, I seriously doubt that anyone expects he is as safe with his phone like a teenager might be. Yes the mistress' brother is implicated, as the mistress would have the only access to the text and images. But the premise resulting from his investigative team has brought out the NSA. I doubt that to be true myself. POTUS and NSA ain't exactly getting along.

But the brother who would defend his sister, well, brothers do not like their sisters besmirched publicly. Yes I would expect the wife soon to be ex, may speak poorly of the mistress.

I dunno. Maybe once we should believe FOX news for the very first time as accurate?

edited to add this quote from the FOX article which significantly peaks my interest in the players...

In addition, Sanchez said his acquaintance with longtime Republican political operative Roger Stone, who recently pleaded not guilty to charges of witness tampering and lying to Congress in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, is irrelevant to the Bezos matter.
Roger Stone is a huge red flag to me. I like how they portrayed Stone's "pleaded not guilty", with no other mention of anything else about him. Not even that he just bailed out of jail. Let alone any of his other past shenanigans.

The last two years FOX news have been total Trump fan boys and ignoring anything else as a fact, except but what he says.


Quote
Documents reviewed by The Daily Beast show that Michael Sanchez believed the Enquirer pursued its story about Bezos with “President Trump's knowledge and appreciation”—a chase encouraged, in Sanchez’s estimation, by Republican operatives “who THINK Jeff gets up every morning and has a WaPo meeting to plot its next diabolical attack on President Trump.”

I'm uncertain about Bezos. The Washington Post has a clear anti-Trump and left-leaning bias, but maybe Bezos purchased it because he wanted to prevent a major newspaper from dying, and he actually does give them a lot of independence. Maybe any pro-Bezos bias by the Post is more of a subconscious thing by their employees than anything (ie. if they know who butters their bread, it'll affect their thinking whether anyone realizes/wants it or not).
Some have speculated The Washington Post purchase was to help with anti-trust issues it was having at the time, along as being a non-traditional way to lobby those in government in Washington.

I don't think it is appropriate for The WaPo to report on Amazon related news the way it does. For example using unnamed sources is troubling because Bezos could potentially order the identity of any confidential sources to be given to him (someone critical of him/Amazon), or he could be directing someone to be a confidential source to "leak" information it doesn't want to explicitly say (such as they are considering not using NYC as one of their HQ2 sites).   


But far more likely than a major technological attack is that Sanchez's security was shit and someone going through piles of hacked accounts stumbled across this. Or something like that. (Some sources are saying that she just gave the info to others...)
The attorney for the Enquirer was on one of the Sunday news shows today and said their source was someone known to Bezos who has been a source for a long time.

My suspicion is it was either someone in his Wife's family or his Mistresses family (or the women themselves).

The claim the Enquirer's reporting on Bezos' affair was politically motivated came from the WaPo. If it turns out there is nothing to support this, the Washington Post would then be peddling politically motivated fake news against the Enquirer to make Bezos look good. The same is true (to a lesser extent) in regards to the WaPos reporting that the source of the leaks may be "a government" although the WaPo's source on this was Bezos' head of security.

Not really sure how accurate the Daily Beast is when it comes to breaking stories, but here's something that's interesting. Seems like they have sources saying that the leaks came from the Bezos' mistresses' brother.

I don't see the connection to Trump in all of this though, and the Daily Beast is stating that as well.

Maybe any pro-Bezos bias by the Post is more of a subconscious thing by their employees than anything (ie. if they know who butters their bread, it'll affect their thinking whether anyone realizes/wants it or not). Ignoring the Washington Post, do we actually know of many instances of Bezos personally attacking good things or promoting bad things? I remember a few things which gave me slightly negative impressions of him, but I don't remember anything major, and I can't find anything with a quick search.

Reading his Medium post makes me tend to respect Bezos more. (Which is the intent, of course.)

It's certainly within the capabilities of several government intelligence agencies to do this spying, but would they? I doubt that Trump would've given some official presidential order to spy on Bezos. Does he have sufficient personal connections within Intelligence to do it off the books? My impression is that Intelligence hates him; in fact, if they did this, I'd consider it most likely that their goal was to set Bezos against Trump.

But far more likely than a major technological attack is that Sanchez's security was shit and someone going through piles of hacked accounts stumbled across this. Or something like that. (Some sources are saying that she just gave the info to others...)

In any case, it doesn't look good for the Enquirer, having a multi-billionaire past the point of caring & out to destroy them.

Doubt the fact that Bezos bought the company for the good of the company, there's no way a billionaire would be spending this sort of money 'for the integrity of reporting' or some bullshit like that. He's trying to make himself and his company look good while putting down opponents. I do agree on the subconscious thing though, that has to be a large portion of it. Though I do think that at the end of the day he'll have a heavy hand if TRULY necessary.

Enquirer is going to go through hell for this, though some did say this was a way to 'kiss and makeup' with Trump -- going after Bezos, that is. Though I still don't see the connection and why Trump would really care.

Well I do understand your point too, and I honestly as difficult as it is anymore nowadays, didn't intend to imply any partisanship in my reply. It really is hard to make any comment about anything anymore without getting Trump/Anti-trump accusations suggested. Not anyone's fault really, it is just how it is now.

My belief is that conspiracy is borne of partial truths, with the rest left for the reader to surmise upon the suggestion.

My other belief is in Occam's Razor.

And the brother of the mistress has admittedly as a MAGA supporter (nothing wrong with that), as well as the NE source, implied it on his own words.

I am proud of any voter no matter who the choice. Its the non-voters who should have no voice in the matter.

To attempt to keep it non-partisan, there are elements that lend credence to the conspiracy.

We do have to keep in mind, conspiracy or not, that the President HAS in fact spent quite a lot of monies with NE in covering up his skeletons from the past.

And yes, NE is in the business of skeletons. Published or otherwise.

Got it.

It's the "hint" of a connection with Trump.

Something yet else to keep the Evil Trump Story Going.

Oh,you know. It might NOT BE TRUE but

.... it was said that some of them show him with a wedding ring on his finger. I think many would probably consider this "improper"

As a scandal it seems pretty lame if that's all there is. Plus obviously extortion is criminal.

Does it seem like this is a real deal or yet another attempt to somehow make trump look bad?

Unknown at the moment, though it does seem like a good amount of people keep citing that the NE is a source that is in bed with Trump. This to me is the media trying to make the point that Trump MUST be involved even though I doubt he would get involved in such low-level BS.

People are trying to make this out to be a Watergate-type scandal when it isn't.

I am not sure if you are a troll account or not....

If you believe Trump has the national intelligence in his back pocket, I would refer you to https://twitter.com/JohnBrennan and "A Higher Loyalty" by James Comey.

LMAO, no, I am not a troll. (that made me smile)

But there was a typo in my post. It should have read, NE, instead of NI or NC, as in National Enquirer. It was pretty early in the morning for me.

My apologies for the confusion on my suggestion.

.... the pictures would speak to his judgement.

Not at all.

They could be SAID to have been send in a context that was improper, or in similar ways used for blackmail.

By themselves such pics are simple human anatomy.
Well he was married at the time, in fact I believe it was said that some of them show him with a wedding ring on his finger. I think many would probably consider this "improper"

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos posted a medium blog post alleging that Trump supporter's National Enquirer attempted to extort him with the threat of publishing "dick pics" .....

Does anyone care about Bezos Dic Pics? Why is this a story?
Bezos dick pics would be news worthy because he is the richest man in america and he runs Amazon (among other companies). He is a public figure, and the pictures would speak to his judgement.

I saw in the article the security guy "mentioned" a government connection.  I didn't see it explicitly say the US government.  WaPo journalist was butchered by MBS's crew and they have obviously been bringing a lot of attention to the issue.  It is at least worth considering the Saudi "government" have an interest in Bezo shutting the fuck up and just may have had a hand in this.

Ironically AMI may have exposed themselves to having their immunity deal with Mueller being ripped up as a result of this.  Based on the extremely limited information available it is difficult to tell if the SCO has grounds currently to kill the deal.  As a result of the immunity deal AMI signed they must not commit a crime for 3 years, AMI needs to be careful not to fuck their deal up as any good prosecutor can find a crime almost anywhere.  The smart thing to do for AMI is to stay off Muellers radar and this kind of shit is kinda the opposite of that lol!

This comes amid the National Enquirer exposing Bezos having an affair as a married man, publishing text messages between Bezos and his mistress, and Bezos attempting to investigate how these text messages leaked.

There are rumors a "government entity" leaked the texts to the National Enquirer. If so, and Trump ordered this to score political points and shame Bezos, it's hard to see how he wouldn't get impeached. You think he'll survive that?

This whole situation makes a good case for encryption though, so I love it.

That mistress leaked it. It is quiet obvious. Encryption would do a shit in this case. Dont look for an use case in every mess. Wink
