Today's Blind Items - The Tapes

Everyone knows they exist. That is not a secret. Well, I mean, it is a secret to most people but not the participants or those close to them. This is not a hidden camera thing. The battle over these tapes has been going on for just about two decades. What do the tapes contain? Lots of sex and a whole lot of coke. For the first few years after the recordings were made, this A list politician tried to acquire them from his best friend who also happened to make the recordings. The best friend made the recordings of himself and his ex-girlfriend who now was the girlfriend of the politician. The girlfriend wanted them so the politician tried to get them. He was probably going to get them until the new girlfriend of the best friend intervened. She said they might come in handy down the road. She was certainly prescient. They are worth millions now to the right buyer. There is a new person in this world though who has no idea the recordings exist and it would be a major bomb dropping if they got out. For the first time in a long time, the original group is talking about them again and trying to make a deal. My guess is there will be no deal. Way too valuable.
