Dose Jeff Bezos Need To Go To Prison?
Maybe.
Unless you live under a rock you know that Roy Moore, who is the Republican candidate to replace Jeff Session's Senate seat out of Alabama, has been accused of some extraordinarily-salacious and in one case illegal act.
There's a problem -- the alleged act(s) occurred nearly forty years ago and yet not one allegation of same has occurred until now.
I won't get into the actionability of the claim in the first place since with one exception all the so-called accusers were 16 or older and thus of the age of consent at the time. Further, there has been no allegation of force or improper influence being used, and Moore was unmarried. In other words unlike the "star allegations" we're not talking about harassment, rape, (statutory) abuse of underage individuals or even adultery, although it still smells like dead fish if the allegations are true.
Now add to this that Judge Moore is not some random dude that just decided to run for Senate. He has a decades long history of being extraordinarily controversial and a public political figure, including being elected as a judge twice in Alabama with the second time after being ousted for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from a court.
There were plenty of reasons for anyone who had a legitimate beef with his sexual proclivities, and plenty of opportunity with the capacity to do him real political damage, to act before now. Yet I'm aware of exactly zero in the way of "rumblings", say much less allegations, on this point until a few days ago.
That's enough to call the question about a political hit (that is, a lie) standing alone.
But it's not standing alone.
There are now allegations that The Washington Post attempted to pay women to come forward and make allegations of this sort.
The claim is being made that not only did this happen it has been turned over to the DA. There are further allegations as to motive and intentional bias, and that this isn't a case of "first impression" either.
Even better, the calls apparently were recorded, so the claim is that there's hard evidence that the attempted bribe happened.
If this turns out to be true given the political affiliation and direct links to both Jeff Bezos and both his and the alleged "reporters" links to the DNC then this certainly appears to amount to federal election tampering, bribery as an inducement to engage in an unlawful act and Racketeering.
If this proves up then not only should the Washington Post be criminally indicted and shut down so should Amazon and Jeff Bezos as well since this sure looks to me like a case where the Racketeering law applies and I remind you that bribery is one of the predicate offenses on which Racketeering can be charged. Racketeering can be and should be charged against anyone who was involved in, funded benefited from or stood to benefit from the product of said predicate conduct or pattern of activity.
Amanda Carpenter’s twitter account was more evidence against Ted Cruz than we have seen against Roy Moore.
Sounds convincing to me. But I sure wish the title you chose had not suggested it was yet ANOTHER anti-Moore hit piece.
Just how creditable is Market Ticker?
Go Roy. Facts made no difference on Bill Blinton. Lies should make no difference on YOU. Beat communism. Vote MOORE!! This story has been rejected by the people and is dead after one day!! SENATOR ROY MOORE!! Give then hell and I dont mean just a little bit!!
Hopefully true, but the source link for the article was a twitter post, which rarely if ever actually pan out.
I for one, would be a happy man to witness the demise of this scumbag.
It probably is more credible than the WaPo.
Not5 sure what you are talking about as the link does not lead to a twitter post at all.
Equalizer, check out the classified ads!
“If this proves up then not only should the Washington Post be criminally indicted and shut down so should Amazon and Jeff Bezos as well”
Yes, absolutely.
I agree. It should say (Over Roy Moore Hit Piece).
Looks like the Market Ticker people listened to Mark Levin’s show Yesterday.
The only link in the original article, as the supposedl basis for the original article...
It’s to only reason Bozo bought the Washington Post and pumps 10’s of millions of dollars into it to keep it a float ,To Attack People
Not a hit piece; worth reading.
I know that they will hide behind the 1st Ammendment, but I think the idea has a great deal of merit.
Freedom of the Press is not license.
The First Amendment doesn’t excuse the consequences for libel and other crimes. If they bribed women to make what they knew were false charges, then they obviously knew their “report” was a libelous lie. They have no defense.
What I read are accounts of W Post calling and offering $1,000.00 or more for stories with dirt, inviting fabrication. Just like we all knew about this publication’s character and credibility.
Fake News.
Sounds all good to me. Put Bezos in the cell next to Podesta.
