This is actually way bigger than just dick pics.

Who hacked the accounts to get the pictures? If it was Bezo's GF's brother (a huge Trumpette) that's one thing - if it was the UAE, it could be a foreign government attempting to influence the US government. If it was a US government agency that obtained the pictures, it could be the WH authorizing a government agency to find dirt on a private citizen.  Either of those options could be explosive, politically. Supposedly, 3 different agencies are investigating the source of the pictures.

I think it's ironic that, if there is massive fall out from this, that it might spring from this shitty attempt to blackmail someone with dick pics - considering that Trump's SIL's father went to jail for a similar shitty attempt to blackmail someone with sex pictures. What are the odds that both your father and FIL wind up in a shit ton of legal trouble for this kind of crappy behavior?

trump hates Bezos and the Washington Post. My guess is the trump family is involved in some way.

Mobbed up weasels, especially - this is exactly how organized crime handles problems that aren't able to be resolved by simple murder.

Interesting.

AMI was "unnerved" when Bezos' investigation into the story touched on the publishing company's Saudi connections, he claimed.

"Several days ago, an AMI leader advised us that Mr. Pecker is 'apoplectic' about our investigation," Bezos said. "For reasons still to be better understood, the Saudi angle seems to hit a particularly sensitive nerve."

AMI wrote a letter 'fawning' over the Saudi crown prince accusing of murdering the WP reporter.  Doesn't seem far fetched that the UAE would hire top notch hackers to help AMI get the dirt on Bezos, whose paper has been relentlessly anti-Saudi.

So great, our country may be being run by mobsters and Saudi princes, both groups who like to murder their enemies.

Hmm, so this guy thinks it was the GF's brother, the Trumpette.

I saw another article where the brother insists he didn't do it - but he would say that, wouldn't he.

To admit otherwise might get him bounced right to jail, no passing GO.

If you have never read it, read de Becker's 1997 book, The Gift of Fear (mentioned in the linked article). Good read.

With a brother like that who needs enemies?

So I went over to Fox to see how they're spinning it (so ya'll don't have to, if you're not a fan )

They're poo-pooing the whole 'this might be politically motivated' idea.

Then they trotted out an expert who says because Bezo's investigator (Gavin De Becker) hasn't released any formal written technical analysis that this allegedly took place, it's just 'hot air.'

www.foxnews.com/world/bezos-mentions-of-national-enquirers-ties-to-saudi-fuels-speculation-but-experts-say-claim-of-gov-entity-may-just-be-hot-air

Then I checked the comments section - hi-lar-I-ous. The far right has gotten back up on their high horse about sexual integrity and think that Bezos should be kicked out of the universe for sleeping with a woman not his wife. Whatever happens to him, he deserves it because he is an immoral scumbag.

So if it's not written down, it didn't happen?  Sweet!!!

CNBC was trying to decide whether Bezos was losing it over this situation and whether it might affect Amazon stock price.
Quite frankly they were beginning to sound like Fox News on a bad day..........
I am wondering if the divorce is not quite as amicable as the couple originally said it was, and his soon to be ex had access to his phone.

And another thing.......this guy is supposed to be computer literate. After all, he built his own empire, and he used his phone for the pictures and texts? I guess he never thought of phone hacking??
What's next? Will we hear he used Facebook private chat feature with the girlfriend to share pics

There's another side to this situation too. Per CNN -

National Enquirer's reporting on Jeff Bezos under scrutiny by federal prosecutors

With Jeff Bezos accusing American Media Inc. of attempted "extortion and blackmail," the company's legal troubles are just beginning.

Federal prosecutors are once again examining the conduct of American Media, or AMI for short, which owns the National Enquirer and other magazines.

Last year AMI, the company's CEO David Pecker, and chief content officer Dylan Howard struck an immunity deal with federal prosecutors. In exchange, they cooperated in the hush money case that ensnared Michael Cohen and implicated President Trump in campaign finance violations.

The AMI deal contained standard language that said that if the company committed "any crimes" in the future, "AMI shall thereafter be subject to prosecution."

In other words, the deal would be off.
