Any way you look at it, Trump is the skunk at the picnic. Always making trouble for other people he's basically jealous of. Sad.
‘Ughhhiggghh that is part of negotiation’ …. yeah negotiating terms of blackmail!
If they were so concerned about these 'libelous' allegations, why not seek redress through the normal mechanisms i.e. the court. This makes no sense.
Abramowitz is not presenting a credible defense of AMI, because that's not possible…Blackmail, pure and simple on the part of AMI…Hope those scumbags get sued and shut down….On the other hand…Jeff should have let the Big Head do his thinking, not the other, less thoughtful one.
The lawyer–pettifogger–keeps repeating the same unbelievable defense. A common prostitute renders more service to society than a lawyer. If anything the comparison is unfair to the whore. –Khushwant Singh, novelist
"reliable source"? = FAKE SOURCE It's the National Enquirer for heavens sake!
I read sometime ago, and damn If I can remember where, but that AMI agreed to squash Cosby stories if he gave them an exclusive into his son's death at the side of a California highway… sick!
This, "Dumbo", should just flap his big old ears and fly away! Okay…I'm not about visual vs conviction, BUT… man! He really believes what he's saying… "people misunderstand"! Nah! He doesn't even believe it! Fly! Dumbo! Fly!
National Enquirer is a complete SHIT RAG.
He looks like the lovechild of Lewis Black and Larry “Bud†Melman
Lawyer just admitted extortion and blackmail. 5 times. AMI should fire him. And fine Trump for supplying bad sources.
I wish so much that this lawyer presents this argument during the trial. That will surely ensure that "Pecker" is neutered.
This is why no one cries when lawyers die.
Pecker is running a business on extortion and blackmail. It is his "business-model" and his way to make friends and keep them friends……LOL
This lawyer is right up there with the likes of Cohen and Giuliani in his incompetence.
Ah ugh eh err um, this guy needs to go back and listen to how much his voice is cracking
Extremely nervous lawyer for a client that supposedly did nothing wrong. Thinking Pecker might be wishing he hadn't pulled this stunt. More than met his match with Bezos. Notice how Trump's buddies are slowly but surely falling by the wayside ? Once the Southern District connects all the dots we'll see some fireworks. I give it six months and Pecker will wish he had never met Trump. Stay tuned.
What a time to live in when as soon as he said it wasn't Trump, Saudi Arabia or Roger Stone you immediately know the president of the US and a foreign nation worked together with a media troll in order to try and settle a grudge against Lex Luthor.
"Why did the NE publish a 100 page glossy about Saudi Arabia?"
"THERE'S NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT IT!!!!!!!"
Moron is giving him too much credit. This guy is being deliberately deceitful
Extra, extra: Lawyer proclaims client did not commit crime.
No matter how Old Elephant ears tries to spin this, Pecker and AMI attempted to blackmail and extort the wrong person. This time these scumbags picked on someone who can out spend them, has the lawyers and is on the right side of the law. Bye Bye Mr. Pecker, see you in your orange jump suit behind bars after its been determined that you violated your agreement with the Feds to behave yourself. Don't worry pretty soon Trump will be in the cell adjoining yours in the big house.
I hope Bezos takes down that rag.. trump's newspaper ..
I say it is black mail and extortion .. so there..
Please, stop you can fools no one, shame on you A…
The Enquirer has a concrete defense against Bezos!!! And it's simply: (if you quit attacking us, then we won't attack you, because we do have photos as proof of what you've done, but you don't have proof of all of the negative things that you have said about us!) CASE CLOSED!!!
It's what happens every day in the world, known as a truce, agreement, compromise, burying the hatchet, and the list goes on and on!!
In fact, that's what's happening right now in Congress, Republicans and Democrats are both threatening to allow a shutdown if neither side gets what they want!!!!!
So by these weak analysts definition, I guess Congress is BLACKMAILING each other!!!!

Besos is Latin 💩 works for Latin mafia.
Straight from the mob!
Bezos is stupid and is attempting to be the hero when he is really the
patsy. Other accounts say the mistress sent Bezos' text messages and sex
photos to her girlfriends. One or more of them then sold the texts and
naked photos to the Enquirer. By claiming blackmail and extortion, it is
just an attempt to set up the Enquirer. Bezoz is a cheating Bozo. And
stupid at that and has been played by a gold digge
2:10 I'll answer it for you. It was, indeed, Michael Sanchez
What a dumbass… kiss AMI goodbye. Hope they all go to jail
Thanks again for all
Give us what we want and we won't ruin your reputation. Nah that not blackmail at all.
Okay if it was a deal between the two party shouldn't this AMI lawyer provide proof that Bezo was actually dealing with them like emails or some paper trail.
This guy must have gone to the same law school as Giuliani. The first thing you do is throw out bullshit because everyone is stupid.
Wow, sure sounds like extortion.
This dude reminds me of David Schwartz, the lawyer for Michael Cohen who got skewered by Avenatti on CNN.
Looks like rudy ghouliani has competition for "worst lawyer representing a creep" in 2019
this is clearly an attempt of blackmail
It is a blackmail, plain and simple. Shut AMI down and its trash papers. .
Absolutely is extortion and blackmail…he wrote in an email you say this or your dick will be printed wtf
The lawyer is such a bad lier
His arguments are pure Guiliani
its in the public's interest this is tested in a court.
Pecker, another Trump friend who will be screwed.
I always thought that these gotcha tabloids used blackmail as part of their business model.
This lawyer says it wasn't extortion because all AMI wanted was the truth. So when you meet in a park a guy that is obvious gay, it's not extortion if you demand money for your silence.
