Ya , you made a biggly mistake extorting Bezos !

are we sick of the trumptrain 🚂 yet?

AMI has been caught and will be toast shortly. This should negate their prior agreement re: no jail time if they tell all about Trump and play nice in the meantime. AMI didn’t play nice. LockThePeckerUp

JeffBezos , Congratulations! Smart Strategy! AMI smells trouble! Go for a Checkmate in 2 moves! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

good idea pecker. investigate yourself. that ought to produce some interesting conclusions. should make great headlines for your lying supermarket rag.

Besos is going to takeAMI to court and bankrupt a tabloid that should have been sued out of existence a long time ago.

Bc blackmailing and extortion are norms in the administration

How the CIA Helped The Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrate the West

How would AMI have matters to settle with Bezos, about his personal life no less? That doesn't make sense.

Not to worry everyone, AMI will do a thorough investigation of... *checks notes* ... itself

'Blackmailing' someone and coercing them is illegal isn't it AMI? Hacking into someone's email/phone is illegal isn't it AMI?

They’re in trouble.

Taking on the richest man in the world to own the libs. 🤣

That was no negotiation. Extortion plain and simple.

AMI is so screwed 😂

The emails show that they acted in 'good faith' but unfortunately for AMI and Pecker, blackmail and extortion are not covered under the good faith clause.

To recap here. Bezos exposes Pecker for extortion cause Pecker was about to expose Bezos for exposing his pecker... PeckerWars

Good-faith negotiations? We will force you to falsely state the position we would find beneficial to us and dangle the threat of publishing your dick pic for the rest of your life should you tell the truth at a later date. Totally not blackmail.

Oh well if the National Enquirer needs us to take their word for it...

So will the FBI

and this is why powerful thugs get away with nefarious activities ... 15 minutes of outrage ... then ... next

The Latest: National Enquirer defends its actionsLOS ANGELES (AP) — The Latest on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' allegations against the National Enquirer's publisher (all times local): 9:45 a.m. The publisher of the National Enquirer says it will investigate Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' allegation that it threatened to publish revealing personal photos of him unless he stopped investigating how the tabloid obtained his private exchanges with his mistress. American Media Inc. says in a statement issued Friday it 'acted lawfully' while reporting the story. The Enquirer published a story last month that included lurid texts between Bezos and former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez. Since then, private investigators have been looking into how the Enquirer got the texts. Bezos says he was the target of 'extortion and blackmail' by American Media. But the company says it engaged in 'good faith negotiations.' American Media says its board of directors ordered a prompt and thorough investigation. It says it'll take 'whatever appropriate action is necessary.' So, the investigators will investigate the investigators who are investigating the investigation? OK, got it... Oh thank God. AMI will investigate itself! Lol they should read their own emails.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos Accuses National Enquirer of Attempted BlackmailJeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post and founder of Amazon, accused National Enquirer parent American Media of trying to blackmail him. Tabloid’s parent said it acted lawfully in the reporting of the Bezos story but that it will investigate the claims Why would a smart successful businessman take nude pictures of himself in the first place, my opinion is that his lover took pics of him, which he stupidly allowed. the probe will look something like this: Bezos should put $20B into crushing these roaches and exposing AMI's political ties and motivations. He's gonna lose it any way in his divorce..MacKenzie will still be filthy rch.
