Blackmail by AMI-National Enquirer-David Pecker of @JeffBezos is a big deal b/c
1/ evidence of new crimes violates SDNY immunity agreement re Trump’s hush payments, 2/ extortion may be BOTH for Trump AND Saudis over relentless WaPo coverage, incl of Khashoggi murder. #Maddow

@JeffBezos 💯THREAD: It's Democracy vs Autocracy. Bezos-National Enquirer/AMI story is the autocratic alliance at work to silence critics, co-opt journalism, torpedo truth, break rule of law & democracy. Trump/GOP align w/ Saudi & Kremlin autocrats, use fascist tools & propaganda for power.
Teri's right. It's hard to wrap our heads around that AMERICANS would gut democracy for autocracy. But Trump is the clearest sign GOP's done it. For power & money, Republicans have propped up a corrupt fascist POTUS who got to the WH w/ foreign tyrants' help. Help that is repaid. 
Putin & MBS weren't high-five-ing ecstatically for nothing. This happy slap was just weeks before the National Enquirer published the Bezos hit job. With its post Trump adm "Democracy Dies in Darkness" slogan & reporting, @washingtonpost is prime attack target for these autocrats
@washingtonpost Pull on this THREAD >> Bezos-WashingtonPost-Khashoggi-Saudi regime-National Enquirer-AMI-Pecker-Trump. A whistleblower told @iyad_elbaghdadi in Oct (Putin hi5 in Nov) of MBS plans to target WaPo w/ blackmail—a classic tool of control & menace by autocrats, welcomed by this POTUS.
