JeffBezos maddow NicolleDWallace They should throw the keys away when it comes to Trump and his campaigns inner circle. I hoping that Jeff Bezos uncovers all of corruption in the Administration regarding our Foreign Policy. Saudi Arabia and Russia are at the heart of it.

Good! Expose extortion!

Let the games begin!

if digital moguls can't protect their privacy either it's beyond ridiculous

When I was in middle school reading this stuff was fun.. I had an edition where a fish had a lucky spot and if you touch it you can win a million dollars or get good luck. Rich people gets drawn in with a superstition magazine over a poor boy reader digest? 😦

It's funny reading, it's just based on extended fabrication. Denying imaginative tabloids takes the fun out of mom and pop shops. Aliens, UFO, mystery monster, unexplain stuff... Getting mad at this makes you a rubber necker.

Who even reads this rag anymore?

Bezos is seeking to tar & feather the source for his own indiscretions. Enquirer is protecting its source. The result of the Enquirer's offer is a Non disclosure agreement. No Publication and no source. Neither side has monetary gain. WaPo with its journalistic integrity agrees?

Since the Enquirer apparently has supressed information on certain people (AHEM! realDonaldTrump ), it would be interesting to see if they are using information suppression to influence peoples decisions.

If this doesn't meet the standard for extortion there is something wrong with the law. There has to be a demand for something of value? It seems to me that a man's reputation and dignity would fulfill that requirement. Especially when that man and his businesses are so entwined.

Did you mention in your article that Beezos owns The Washington Post? Full disclosure and transparacy, right?

Proud of Bezos. PROUDofBEZOS He just did the right thing and should be Applauded for his courage and wisdom 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾JeffBezos

I hope this leads where many think it will, straight back to the White house. It is bigger than Peckergate and everyone know it. Bezos is about to deliver a bankruptcy to the National Enquirer in two days.
