Text: 47 After the arrests, FBI agents searched Medina's hotel suite and safe deposit box in California. In the safe deposit box, they found cassette tapes with recordings of many of defendants' telephone calls. In the hotel suite, they found drafts of Jackson's letters to Schmitt and Lund, notes of research into Cosby's sponsors and publishers, and lists of talking points for a proposed conversation to be held with Lund, all in Jackson's handwriting. The agents also found a hand-written plan detailing the steps defendants intended to take to exploit The Globe source agreement and obtain money from Cosby or his sponsors, including such steps such as Make Copy of Contract[,] White-Out Prices and Fax Letters to Jack Schmidt [sic ] and Peter Lund. (Government Exhibit 69A3.) The agents also found a note that Jackson had drafted, apparently for Cosby, but never sent. It read in part: Now, here is my deal. Either I go to the tabloids and/or CBS or we can settle now. That's what I am willing to do. (Tr. 1254.) 48 Thereafter, agents obtained additional tapes and documents that were in the possession of Sabas. They included the original Globe source agreement with the price whited out, letters faxed to Lund and Schmitt, and a tape of the January 16 conversation with Schmitt in which Jackson had demanded the payment of $40 million.
