Black is trying to preempt an indictment. The blackmail plot by Rush's former housekeeper/supplier is important. She blackmailed Rush saying if she didn't pay her $4 million, she would go to the District Attorney. Rush didn't pay her, so she went to the District attorney. The district attorney's key witness is a blackmailer. And all evidence collected was based on the the tip from the blackmailer. Rush has a good shot of getting a plea bargain and avoiding indictment.

Not giving in to blackmail was an important first step to turning his life around. Once you let that happen, you have truly hit rock bottom.
