What were the National Enquirer attorneys thinking? An echo opinion

Jeff Bezos- surprise! Kick in the ass exposes David Pecker

A cartoon inn the Vermont Caledonian news, shows the world’s richest man, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and the National Enquirer’s (AMI) CEO David Pecker, who was blackmailing Bezos.  In the cartoon, Bezos is kicking the Pecker's ass. The New York Post exposed the blackmail story on the newspaper's cover

Pecker’s AMI (American Medica, Inc.- publisher of the rag "National Enquirer"- ugh) was extorting Bezos, demanding that the Washington Post (which Bezos owns) hold back publication on their investigation of AMI, and that Bezos stop a private investigator he hired to look into AMI – otherwise they would publish photos of Bezos’ penis. 

Bezos was brave to expose Pecker’s extortion.

It is interesting that Pecker and AMI seems to have such success with blackmail that his attorneys didn’t step back to think of what would happen if the person they were blackmailing simply made their emails public. (Obviously, this brazen assumption that blackmail works has proven to work for past "hush money" incidents.)

AMI is looking pretty sleazy these days, with likely links to Saudi Arabia, and a reported safe full of Donald Trump secrets, among other tawdry stuff. So, Pecker’s dickish name was a natural...and Bezos has finally pulled Pecker’s pants down.
