- tw04 7y agoGreat theory, except for the fact David Pecker was directly involved and more or less admitted it was a favor for Trump which he had been doing for decades.
- davidw 7y agoDavid Pecker was, IIRC, the guy who also directed the 'catch and kill' with Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election. https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-trumps-fixers-silenced-stormy-daniels-just-days-before-the-2016-election https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-trumps-fixers-silenced-sto...
- DrunkOnPower 7y agoWhile David Pecker was involved in the brokering of the hush money deal with Stormy Daniels, which Michael Cohen eventually made (and prosecuted for), the "catch and kill" payment was made to Karen McDougal, which was another Trump affair.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoWhat weight does that hold when MBS actually killed the WaPo journalist? The proof is right in front of us.
- tw04 7y agoWhat are you talking about? Nobody is refuting that MBS killed Kashoggi. What I'm refuting is that the Bezos hack wasn't a favor to Trump. It clearly was.
- plumednom 7y agoWhy can't both be true? Murder your enemy while making your friend a little bit happier. Khashoggi was highly critical of Trump in the month leading up to his beheading.
