Bezos likely wants this and was likely part of the quid pro quo for optics. Nothing will come of trump lawsuit (because nothing ever does) but sends the temporary signal, for a brief press moment, that they are somehow adversaries. WaPo is another media outlet captured by another billionaire (same as twitter, facebook, fox, new york post, wall street journal, Sinclair owned local news stations, oann and all those recent pretend online “channels” that routinely host pillow salesmen as political experts) and needs that context considered when reading any of its content.

Bezos carries this shame for the rest of his hollow life. Anticipatory obedience, same as many gave to the nazis in lead up to the holocaust.
