This alleged extortionate conduct by AMI is, among other things, intensely embarrassing to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. And it is not advisable to be intensely embarrassing to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

From the AMI nonprosecution agreement. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/press-release/file/1119501/download …pic.twitter.com/OjdYhXixky

Further background: SDNY recently let AMI off the hook for a campaign finance violation in the Michael Cohen case based on their promise that they'd be good boys and girls. If they've been ignoring that promise doing other dirty deeds, that's embarrassing. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/michael-cohen-sentenced-3-years-prison …pic.twitter.com/XmQz6FLXFJ

SDNY is not in a hurry to respond to my request for comment this pleasant evening.

I think this instinct is right for an avg media co. Absent AMI’s known pattern of behavior and a non-pros agreement (which has a bunch of other charges that can spring back), it’d be out of the question. But I think we need to watch SDNY carefully here.https://twitter.com/popehat/status/1093678905595027456?s=21 …

As we think about the situation law enforcement is confronting here, let’s not forget the story about the Trump White House threatening
@JoeNBC and@morningmika with what AMI was gonna do. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/trump-joe-mika-tweet-national-enquirer/532389/ …pic.twitter.com/Nc7p4n4LgH

Why is it embarrassing to SDNY?
-
they just let them off the hook for a campaign finance violation based on a promise they'd be good
-
But since AMI violated it, it's game on for the SDNY
-
Yup maybe they assumed AMI would be mess up eventually so the agreement would be short-lived.

The references to Saudi Arabia are fascinating. Have a feeling the Saudi/Emirates corruption stuff is going to prove both horrifying and very complex.
-
think it might be worse than the Trump/Russia stuff
-
Considering it involves the murder and dismemberment of a journalist and the "president" and his kids covering it up.... yeah. It's bad.

this is the poster case of why white collar crime should be vigorously prosecuted, especially top executives - these guys have gotten away with it for so long they think they are untouchable.
-
Same for Trump. He has gotten away with everything his entire life with no accountability for anything. Now he is completely freaking out bc newspapers aren’t beholden to him, Congress isn’t enabling him anymore, and a majority of Americans hate his guts and are loud about it.
-
He thought becoming president* would make him untouchable and so he continued acting like a spastic mobster through the transition, inauguration, and then in office. Republicans in Congress made him think it was fine so he couldn’t understand the problem. Now he’s panicking.

To be clear, the Government doesn't have to prove AMI committed a crime to cancel the non-prosecution agreement in a court of law; the Government just has to "determine" AMI committed a crime. I don't see how AMI isn't fucked here.

Does this fit that definition of blackmail? Non lawyer here and couldn’t get through the whole code. Thank you!

Extortion/blackmail. Question would be were they offering Bezos money/threatening him, in order to stop him from reporting a crime. Seems that way.
