important people around president trump is unclear the alternative theory here the one that michael sanchez the purported leaker proposes is that this was a way for businesses security man to essentially cover up for the fact that he had failed in his mission to keep the affair between bezos and lauren sanchez secret ok so somebody finds out about this affair leaks it's a national enquirer the national enquirer if we're to believe the story that jeff bezos tells then says to him do as we say oh we would leak these these embarrassing revelations so why would they act in that way. why would the national enquirer act in that way the national choir is in a very precarious position in addition to the fact that they are in a tremendous amount of debt their top two executives that are a publisher and the head of their editorial department have made an agreement with federal prosecutors who are looking into the twenty sixteen presidential campaign and that agreement was that they would not be prosecuted prosecuted inquiries that can not be prosecuted if they agreed to stop doing the kinds of things
