Bezos investigator believes 'government entity' may have obtained texts

A reporter at the Washington Post says that an investigator hired by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos believes that text messages leaked to the National Enquirer between Bezos and his girlfriend may have been sent to the magazine by someone in government.

In an appearance on MSNBC on Thursday, Post reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia said that Bezos's security consultant Gavin de Becker believes that National Enquirer obtained text messages from Bezos through inappropriate means.

Bezos on Thursday said in a blog post that the Enquirer was attempting to force him to call off his investigation of the tabloid under the threat of further texts being released.

“They have begun to believe, the Bezos camp, that this publication by the National Enquirer might have been politically motivated,” Roig-Franzia said Thursday.

Both could go to jail for illegally wiretapping Khashoggi then Kushner hand delivering the tapes with transcripts to MBS, to incite a murder. Bezos was getting too close so the loyal drumpf supporter lept in squelch the investigation with information illegally provided by NSA or someone in Justice at drumpfs or Kushners request?
