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.
If this story was completely fabricated, it falls under the “actual malice” standard for libel against a public figure. Moore could sue the socks off the Post. If nothing else, it would expose the utter ethical bankruptcy of those whores.
It’s a blog.
Read it for a while and make-up your own mind.
I’ve been reading it for years.
That is a much better sourced article, obviously. But if I had tape recordings of WP bribe offers, and be playing those over and over to everyone I could find in the media before I got arkancided.
I agree, the claim needs a follow up. But we both know that probably wouldn’t amount to an indictment either, because proving its validity may prove difficult, to say the least.
