Bezos allegedly extorted w/Dick pics by Nat'l enquirer

[Quickseller]

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" and other sexually explicit pics (likely sent to his mistress whom he was cheating on his wife with) unless Bezos uses his propaganda newspapers, The Washington Post to say that the National Enquirer was not being used for political purposes.

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.

Bezos published what he purported to be emails from various employees of the National Enquirer.

These are really interesting times for the US, everyday in the news like Venezuela now. Trump is going to make the US either sink or float. So much controversies around the White House. But I like these exposures as they go a long way to show us what the kitchen of the rich looks like.

BTW, I hope the dick will be worth wasting time viewing anyway.

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.

If there is evidence of this, articles of impeachment will probably get filed, and the democratic congress would probably impeach if the articles said he was driving 1 MPH over the speed limit, even though Trump doesn't drive. I would suspect Trump would release information regarding his campaign being spied on by the Obama administration not long after evidence that he ordered the CIA to hack Bezos' phone, which will probably mean he survives (I wouldn't necessarily continue to support him, but that is my prediction).

The "rumors" are actually Bezos' head of security (who is investigating the hacking) saying he believes this may have happened. I would note The Washington Post (wholly owned by Bezos) has gotten many stories wrong about Trump, and have been so wrong that months after the fact, I suspect they were made up to make him look bad. WaPo is so anti-trump that one of their editorial writers blamed Trump on one of the hurricanes last year. It has been claimed Bezos lets WaPo have editorial independence, but I don't believe it.

IIRC, the head of security for Bezos previously though the brother of Bezos' mistress was the one who leaked the texts (he denied it), and has not proffered anyone else who might be responsible; in essence he said "it is either her older brother, or Big Brother"

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

This really depends on the details of how the texts were stolen/the phone was hacked. If the actual phone was hacked, encryption would not do anything because the hacker could obtain the decryption key when it is in the phone's RAM, which would be as frequent as the phone reads/accesses text messages. If the texts were intercepted between the two phones (eg via cell towers), then maybe encryption would have protected him, although I understand iMessage uses encryption the government was unable to break as of 2015. I am not sure if Bezos and his mistress were using iMessage or not.

The President has the NI in his back pocket. The NC holds dirt for certain purposes and enjoys displaying that for profit.

Dark days ahead. It hasn't even begun to get ugly yet.

Just my 2c.

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.

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.

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!

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.

[Spendulus]

.... 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"

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?

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.

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.

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 <whisper whisper whisper>

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.
