ActionfigureJoe Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 This story ain’t going anywhere A Washington Post reporter dropped a bombshell Thursday night: that investigators working for Jeff Bezosbelieve “a government entity” may have obtained his text messages, and rather than a phone hack, that this is how the National Enquirer got them. Bezos hired a team of investigators to look into how, late last year, the Enquirerobtained the raunchy text messages he exchanged with Lauren Sanchez while still married to his longtime wife. The billionaire founder of Amazon claimed in an explosive post published Thursdaythat the Enquirer, which is published by Trump-pal David Pecker, recently tried to extort him by threatening to release explicit photos he sent Sanchez if he continued the investigation. On MSNBC Thursday night, Washington Post reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia said he had “spoken extensively” with the head of Bezos’ investigation, security consultant Gavin de Becker. “They have begun to believe, the Bezos camp, that this publication by the National Enquirer might have been politically motivated,” Roig-Franzia said. “Gavin de Becker told us that he does not believe that Jeff Bezos’s phone was hacked,” the reporter continued. “He thinks it’s possible that a government entity might have gotten hold of his text messages.” Bezos has published the graphic extortion messages, which you can read here. After his revelations, journalist Ronan Farrow came out with his own accusations against the Enquirer, which you can read about here. David Pecker, the CEO of National Enquirer parent company AMI, is a longtime ally of President Donald Trump. The company has been cooperating with investigators in the Southern District of New York ever since it admitted to making a $150,000 “catch-and-kill” payment to rid of a story about an alleged affair Trump had with former Playboy model Karen McDougal. Trump and Bezos, meanwhile, are longtime foes. Watch above, via MSNBC. Have a tip we should know? tips@mediaite.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clear. Isn’t it? It lays it out (for you and yours) in the article. Trump ordered the FCC and other “government agencies” to intercept the pictures then, send them to Pecker for an extortion attempt.

I saw something about the Saudis being involved. And the Khoshoggi killing may have been an intimidation attempt in addition to just murder.

I can’t imagine a sitting president being stupid enough to use government resources to gain an advantage over a perceived adversary.

They "dot connect" him at least twice in the article and present the assumption Trump is behind the government getting these pics illegally. I mean....

The texts either came from a close source to bezos or an entity that had the capacity to obtain them covertly. That’s the question to be answered. Fun stuff.
