No I did not realize this. When I first heard about the National Enquirer expose on Raphael's pappy, my first thought was somebody from or with CIA intel leaked the pictures. I never associated the National Enquirer with the Trump campaign. Private citizen Trump would not have access to 'leak' 'secret' pictures to anyone... but I sure can think of a few that did... I mean really now, Jeb was a candidate and Raphael did work in the Bush administration... or perhaps a deep state employee that wanted to sent Raphael a 'sign', if he were to get the nomination. But, Cruz supporters instantly accused candidate Trump of being behind the expose. I still occasionally read the accusation against Trump as if he initiated the expose.
Well, FYI, David Pecker is a close friend of Donald Trump and doubtlessly figured he was helping Trump out by attacking Cruz. Bush had already become a joke (His CIA connections would be noteworthy only if the story weren’t riotously absurd) and the notion of him choosing the NatEnq to push his story — given the NatEnq’s close ties to Trump — is almost as silly.
