This is so freaking unbelievable, I can't believe it's real.

AMI (owner of the National Enquirer) and their CEO, David Pecker, signed a non-prosecution agreement that protected them from prosecution for crimes related to covering up Trump's affairs.

1/
Then they tried to extort Jeff Bezos.

Then Jeff Bezos told them go to hell... and published the extortion attempt...

...and all of that sure looks like a crime...

...and committing a crime - ANY CRIME - would void their non-prosecution agreement.

2/
Not only did Jeff Bezos just deliver a giant middle finger to AMI and that sleazeball, David Pecker, he may have just yanked away their protection from criminal prosecution.

Yowza! From extortion to blowing up their federal deal in one Medium post.

Karma!

3/
The full non-prosecution agreement can be found here.

Sending someone emails openly attempting to extort a concession in exchange for burying illegally obtained communications is a whole bunch of things... wire fraud among them.

Wowza!

According to fairly wide reporting yesterday, Senator Elizabeth Warren listed her race as “American Indian” on a State Bar of Texas card when when she was in her 30’s.

I’m still of a mind to see the issue of her heritage as more distraction than real but it’s getting messy.

1/
There does not seem to be any benefit or advantage from listing American Indian on a bar card.

So, it’s hard to see an ill intent here.

The rub is that this story has been like a stream of paper cuts and that makes me anxious there might be more shoes to drop.

2/
If Warren claimed Native American heritage at times when it provided an advantage, that would possibly be material.

If not, dragging this out is just more “but her emails.”

Whatever the answer, would seem good to have a conclusive answer.

New discoveries prompt distrust.

Alright, pile in.

We’re going for a ride down to the frontlines of America’s war on Having Any Goddamn Sense At All.

You have to see what the Mindless Dunce in Chief has our active duty troops doing.

It is effing nuts.

1/
As setup, our southern border runs a rather impressive 2,000+ miles through all kinds of terrain.

Remote areas. Populated areas. Mountainous, hilly and flat areas. This land is your land. This land is my land.

You get the picture.

2/
Much of the border requires no fence because your average immigrant is unlikely to choose a route across a vast unpopulated inferno, over 200’ cliffs or through 100 miles of high scrub.

That river is the border. Those cliffs are probably more formidable than a 30’ wall.

It takes a special kind of hubris to cobble together a book with stolen passages from other journalists and then lavish in undue praise as if you had earned it.

Shame on you, @JillAbramson.

1. It came out of left field, but last night's bombshell developments seem to have exposed a tangled web involving the Saudis, MBS, their allies, Team Trump, global hacking rings, Khashoggi, the Washington Post and Bezos that could take everything down. Follow the chain here:
2. Let's start in 2017 -- when Muhammed bin Salman (MBS) consolidates power over Saudi Arabia and fumes about dissident Adnan Khashoggi writing for the Washington Post, saying he'd personally put "a bullet" in the U.S.-based journalist nytimes.com/2019/02/07/us/…
3. In 2018, Khashoggi is murdered by Saudi agents inside their Turkish embassy. Mourning journalists at the Post vow to use all of the paper's assets in a relentless quest to expose the truth, including MBS's role, until "meaningful action is taken" politico.com/story/2018/12/…

I don't know of anyone who has been asked not to attend a funeral.

In only 6 mths, Trump has been asked not to attend 2 funerals.

This is unprecedented.

Republican voters & white "Evangelical Christians" really outdid themselves with this amoral, sexual predator & traitor
Christianity Today: Trump humiliates & demeans the vulnerable. The "embodiment of what the Bible calls a fool."

Trump publicly describing the "benefits" of sex w a troubled teen.

This public behavior IS rape culture.

Trump is unfit in every way.

By the time the following video had been shot, Trump had been accused by Ivanka's mother of a brutal rape & of sexually assaulting another woman.

Trump agrees that he's a sexual predator. @IvankaTrump response? Inappropriate giggling.

Ivanka Trump ...

A safe? Lol. Wow. The lengths these cronies went to protect Trump are quite amazing.

Also, what kind of dirty secrets about Trump don't these cronies want the American people to know?

We're one Pecker away from the truth.
Either there are a bunch of Russian bots replying to that NBC tweet or a bunch of ignoramuse are behind on the news b/c they're reliant on pro-Trump outlets that don't report unfavorable news about Trump. Regardless, the truth of the matter doesn't change. Trump is in big trouble
The National Enquirer is run by David Pecker, a longtime Trump ally who--in coordination w Trump and Cohen--bought unfavorable stories about Trump and killed the stories so no 1 else can report them.

At 1 pt, Trump quoted the Enquirer to suggest that Ted Cruz's father killed JFK

Bombshell look-back at National Enquirer election stories.

Trump, David Pecker and the National Enquirer projected all of Trump's crimes on to Hillary Clinton in November 2016.

Hush-money to sex partners & reporters and corrupt, racist, criminal.

It's like a Trump confession
Pecker needs to tell America how the specific Clinton smear campaign was directed.

I believe Trump was personally directing covers like 11/14/2016
.....

"Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" often attributed to Joseph Goebbels
If Trump was coordinating the stories in the National Enquirer, was a FEC political ad disclaimer required?

Is this an in-kind contribution to Trump's campaign?

Lots of questions for David Pecker and FEC experts

💣BOOM💣

David Pecker (chair of National Enquirer publisher #AMI) & AMI's chief content officer, Dylan Howard, granted #immunity‼️

The *only* reason they got immunity is to BURY @realDonaldTrump for his role in Cohen’s hush-money payments to women.😎1/
vanityfair.com/news/2018/08/d…
“Holy s**t, I thought #Pecker would be the last one to turn,” ~Trump friend (Trump & Pecker have been close for years).

The Enquirer operated as a de-facto (= ILLEGAL) arm of the campaign, giving invaluable media support to Trump by attacking @GOP rivals & Hillary Clinton.🤬 2/
🔥WHOA🔥

Per a source close w/Cohen👉🏼Cohen wants to tell Mueller that Trump discussed the release of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta e-mails – stolen by #Russia🇷🇺 – during the weekend when the Access Hollywood "grab ’em by the p***y” tape dominated the news. 3/

Nice piece of investigative journalism. Very revealing on how Weinstein was routinely pulling the strings to keep damaging info from getting out by using his connections with certain individuals working in the press.
nytimes.com/interactive/20…
In the article, Dylan Howard – Chief Content Officer for America Media Inc., Editor-In-Chief for the National Inquirer & former Editor-In-Chief of Radar Online – was named as one of the press members recruited by Weinstein.
Speaking of Radar Online, they were the outlet who published that horrifically damaging and FALSE story about Michael Jackson having illegal porn, complete with a PDF file containing actual court documents that had been tampered with and purposefully mislabeled as child porn.
