Bezos and Blackmail

2019-02-08 01:26:20.315931+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Holy shit: Jeff Bezos: No thank you Mr. Pecker.

In the AMI letters I’m making public, you will see the precise details of their extortionate proposal: They will publish the personal photos unless Gavin de Becker and I make the specific false public statement to the press that we “have no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AMI’s coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces.”

AMI, or American Media, is the company behind the National Enquirer. The National Enquirer is apparently trying to influence the Washington Post's coverage of AMI and the Enquirer over David Pecker's immunity deal with the Department of Justice and AMI's coverage of Donald Trump.
