Or...
Perhaps more to the point, like a cockroach that can neither be caught nor killed off (metaphorically, of course).

William Raushbaum et al. have that story in today's failing New York Times:
The former publisher of The National Enquirer testified on Monday before the Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence about Donald J. Trump’s role in a hush-money payment to a porn star, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The publisher, David Pecker, also testified in January, soon after the grand jury was impaneled by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. The grand jury has heard from at least nine witnesses — including Mr. Pecker, who has gone in twice — and is expected to vote on an indictment soon...
I spoke about Mr. Pecker and his potential role(s) in the Trump/Daniels/Legal Fee case in yesterday's audioblog.
Essentially, Pecker is the architect of many a 'catch and kill' operation wherein people's stories are bought up to bury them so that various and sundry 'celebrities' are not embarrassed. There has also been the whiff of back-end strong arming to boot.
But here's the thing...
In this specific case it appears that the good Mr. Pecker and his right hand man, a fine fellow named Dylan Howard went to Mr. Trump's then lawyer, the estimable Michael Cohen, and told him that he should be the bagman for the Daniels operation.
Hmmm...Wonder why?
Anyway, the discussion of other potential Pecker, Inc. catch and kill operations designed to shield good name of the double plus ungood Mr. Trump comes up at the 38 min mark of said audioblog, here...

Anon-Above--
Thanks for the reminder that the good Mr. Pecker 'resigned' from the PostMedia board just as this was all coming to the fore back in 2018.
Another interesting aspect of that (old) part of the story is that Pecker was, apparently, granted immunity by federal prosecutors at the time - and, as every TeeVee procedural ever made tells us, that usually only happens when you, the immunized, give up something...
