A source familiar with the National Enquirer’s operations told CNN that Jeff Bezos’s explosive allegation of blackmail will lead to further exposure of similar threats made by the tabloid in the past.

“It will all come out now,” the source told CNN.

Indeed several reporters, including Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow, have alleged similar blackmail attempts since Bezos published a blog post exposing emails between himself and National Enquirer leadership threatening to publish unseemly photos of him if he didn’t back off his investigation of the tabloid.

  1. Well, now that we know there are vendettas involved, I can see there being litigation beyond what we’re even seeing at the Federal level.

    Don’t mess with people who have more money than Croesus.

  2. Remember when all this scandal happened with President Obama?

    Me neither…

  3. Fake memory!

  4. Well obviously Obama was much better containing all that scandal. One day, it will blow up and we will find he was the mega villain mastermind of it all. Island volcano lair and all in a far off land of bogus birth certificates. HRC will be his trusted lieutenant, implementing his evil plans.The Republican led international team of shock troops will repel into the missile launch facility, skirmishing with jump suited, mod colored minions in matching hard hats. Yet it will be remarkably clean and dust free as well.

    It will all come out eventually.

    Or I am thinking of an old movie.

  5. When the contents of the AMI safe are revealed, there will be a Kenyan Birth Certificate and copies of 30,000 e-mails.

    You heard it here first!
