1/ The ultimate question with David Pecker & AMI is why, after receiving a non-prosecution agreement from SDNY, they exposed themselves to the risk of prosecution by going after Bezos with hacked info. Reports Bezos’ mistress’ brother gave it to them may provide a clue.
2/ David Sanchez, the brother, has links to Roger Stone & Carter Page. Prosecutors don’t believe in coincidences. Possibilities range from AMI trying to curry favor with Trump after cutting a deal with prosecutors to coordination taking down someone Trump identified as an enemy.
3/ There is no proof of AMI’s motives yet, but it’s odd as other have said that the king of catch & kill ran the story instead of blackmailing Bezos with it. As quickly as this story is moving, we’re likely to learn more. This could be one big shoe drop by the time it’s over.

In 12/17 Deutsche Bank began to comply with a Mueller subpoena originally reported as being for Trump’s records, but corrected to “people associated with” him. google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
2/ Trump was reportedly outraged by the subpoenas & wanted to fire Mueller. @businessinsider reported he backed off after Mueller’s team told his lawyer’s reports of the subpoenas were t accurate. google.com/amp/s/amp.busi…
3/ Deutsche Bank’s German offices were searched the same day in 11/18 that Michael Cohen unexpectedly appeared in federal court to plead guilty to lying to Congress. Reports were the search involved Panamanian money laundering. Trump’s name didn’t surface. salon.com/2018/11/29/tru…

So basically, Russia is trying to discredit the Mueller investigation.
Special Counsel thinks it would be a mistake to wholesale ship off sensitive information to Russia. They're willing to permit review in the US offices of Concord's lawyers - which essentially means a defendant who wants to see it must submit to the jurisdiction of the court.
Special Counsel argues against disclosure beyond the existing protective order: sensitive discovery identifies uncharged individuals & entities that..are continuing to engage in operations that interfere with lawful U.S. government functions like those...charged in the
indictment

1/ It’s important to remember there are layered possibilities here. Mueller is a prosecutor, not a savior of some kind. He will bring indictments in cases within his grant of authority from the DAG where there is sufficient admissible evidence to obtain a guilty verdict.
2/ The report he writes could be a simple recitation of prosecutive decisions - what charges were brought & what cases they considered but declined to charge. Or it could be a detail-rich recitation of the investigation, like we’ve seen in speaking indictments.
3/ Mueller may also, as part of his wrap up, send cases on to US Attorneys with jurisdiction, where he believes issues are outside of his grant of jurisdiction. This will depend on how strictly he construes the job Rod Rosenstein gave him.

Dear @glennkirschner2

S A V A G E, B R I L L A N T and totally on point

I’m getting ready to drop the various State Laws on extortion or in NY it’s known as coercion.

AMI’s non-pros clearly state the Ts & Cs. If (and that’s a big IF), Trump was involved, that’s conspiracy too
@glennkirschner2 This thread might be worth re-reading, I attempted to dissect the 5 page letter.
But I also like to go back to documents & re-read them. Invariably I always find details I may have originally overlooked
Buckle up, I’m double fisting Red Bull today
Page 1, paragraph 2, last sentence.
This is important and significant detail. The non-pros agreement is secular to the Cohen/Trump/FEC hush money/hush contracts

Israeli spyware Pegasus, purchased by Saudi for $55M last year, "allows customers to secretly listen to calls, record keystrokes, read messages & track internet history on targeted phone; use phone’s microphone camera as surveillance devices." #Bezos

nyti.ms/2zF5KrF
"Because of those sweepingly invasive capabilities, Israel classifies the spyware as a weapon. The company must obtain approval from the Defense Ministry for its sale to foreign governments. Saudi Arabia paid $55 million last year for its use, according to Israeli news reports."
Who hated Khashoggi, threatening to "use a bullet" on him? Saudi prince MBS

Where did Khashoggi work? The Washington Post.

Who owns The Washington Post? Jeff #Bezos

Whose cell phone was hacked, leading to blackmail attempt by Trump toadie David Pecker & AMI? Jeff Bezos

Trump's pal David Pecker tried to blackmail Jeff Bezos. Big mistake. Huge.

"Any personal embarrassment AMI [publisher of National Enquirer] could cause me takes a back seat...If in my position I can’t stand up to this kind of extortion, how many people can?" -@JeffBezos
Jeff Bezos: David Pecker was “apoplectic” about our investigation...the Saudi angle seems to hit a particularly sensitive nerve.

AMI sources say that in return for the catch & kill operation, Trump introduced Pecker to funding sources: Prince MBS.

HOLY COW. In a medium post, @JeffBezos says that David Pecker and AMI threatened to release embarrassing photos unless Bezos agreed to stop investigating them and released a statement saying he didn’t have anything on them! He included emails in the post. medium.com/@jeffreypbezos…
2. Jeff Bezos, the wealthiest man in the world (who happens to be CEO of the 2nd most valuable company in the world), published an email from a top AMI exec noting that they had Bezos' dick pics and threatening to publish them. I will never get over this. medium.com/@jeffreypbezos…
3. I mean the fact that David Pecker and AMI were attempting to blackmail the richest man in the world while they are cooperating with the US Attorney on the Trump investigation is something else. I mean....I will truly never get over this post. medium.com/@jeffreypbezos…

💣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/
