Pecker's Protection

This morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the interesting point was raised that former National Enquirer CEO David "Peter" Pecker hasn't been on the receiving end of the wrath of Malignant Loser / Al Caporn / Rip van Stinkle. Despite delivering devastating testimony about the Malignant Loser's role in the magazine's "catch and kill" activities, portraying him as interested in the details and micromanaging. From the conversation:

Mika Brzezinski: "You know, it did seem devastating on so many levels, and it really pulled back the curtain on these things are done, and I don't understand how defamation doesn't come into play on all of these crazy stories that the National Enquirer just put out there on these politicians that we are talking about.

I can't think of anyone who has hurt Donald Trump's case up to this point more than Pecker. Yet, he doesn't post about Pecker, he doesn't rant about Pecker, he talks about Michael Cohen, he talks about other witnesses. That is why the whole gag order thing is an issue — what's the deal? Why so quiet about Pecker?"

Mike Barnacle: "Maybe Pecker has something on him that Donald knows and only Pecker knows. I certainly don't know, Mika." (our emphasis)

What the Malignant Loser fears is the contents of Pecker's private safe, in which he kept stories that were "killed" but are potentially explosive and very valuable. The Malignant Loser left a trail of white collar crime and deviant escapades in New York City, which were undoubtedly picked up by the trash tabloid's "reporters" and squirreled away in Pecker's private safe for possible later use (quid pro quo, blackmail, revenge, etc.). That's what has the Malignant Loser fearful of crossing his former fake news ally.
