... Jeff Bezos would appear to be a poor choice.

Quite, quite remarkable story.

Quite, quite remarkable story.

The bit that seems to say it all is that the magazine is owned/controlled by one of Trump's henchmen. And guess who has been super critical of Trump?
Maybe this time the twit king has bitten off more than he should!

I'm not a great fan of Amazon, but

 If in my position I can’t stand up to this kind of extortion, how many people can?

That did endear him to me a little.

I get the feeling the swamp is being drained 🙂 I think some timely election posters in the US might emphasise this with all the bad bad people getting caught and taken out of circulation

Forgive me for saying I really don’t give one.

then you have missed the point entirely. It has nothing really to do with him or who he is but more what the likes of AMI are doing and how they have done this in the past

Good to see someone using their position to stand up to the press

But has Bezos got the cash to get the ‘other video’ off of Putin?

Yup. In some similar situations I end up hoping both parties lose but in this case I hope he wrecks them.
Given how casual they are about it I have to wonder how many people they have done similar to in the past.
Surely with this sort of thing you wouldnt put it in writing unless you were an idiot or had just so used to getting away with it that you just didnt bother with sensible safeguards? Admittedly my practical knowledge of blackmail/extortion but giving a paper trail back to you is an obvious no-no.
Be interesting to see what other dubious things appear given that he does seem rather pissed off and had already given an open budget to the investigation. One known blackmail/extortion case plus one buying up a story to protect Trump. What else will come out?

Well, this is the National Enquirer we’re talking about, a publication I always understood to be several levels below The Sun when it comes to responsible quality investigative journalism.
So yes, I hope he razes their entire edifice to the ground, and sows the smoking wreck with salt.

Well below the Sport, Local Rags, strange bits of reddit and event he MAIL but possibly on par with the Express

It seems to have passed me by this story.

National Enquirer ? Heard of it, never “read” it.

Is it worthy of investigation?

From what mikes post, seems hardly my “style” of rag.

Anyway.

Who will win ? Rag or Loaded Bloke ?

The back story is, it's a majorly significant part of what is going on with the Trump Whitehouse.

Mr Pecker and dick pics, is this a carry on film?

Plus, how shit is the blackmail material? Knob pics and a bit of flange, completely vanilla.

Not even that which I suspect played a part in him telling them to go whistle.

I always liked the story about the KGB trying to blackmail the Indonesian ambassador (or President, maybe) after setting him up with a "honeypot" girlfriend.

KGB: Look, we have a film of you having sex with your girlfriend.
Ambassador: Excellent, can I get some extra copies to give to my friends?
