Themselves. here the benefit is that they wanted jeff bezos to pro claim that amis reporting was not politically motivated and develop their investigation into anything that they did to obtain the texts. so its cult and dry here. ami has some defenses. by acknowledging that they knew these e-mails were sent that will limit them more. >> shepard: then theres this nonprosecution agreement. the federal government said to ami and david pecker, friend of the president, come clean or all that you did ...
