I think that many, who don't follow the news closely, don't think about/can't conceive of the idea that holding embarassing (or proof of illegal behavior) information could lead to blackmail - not for $$ but for acting on behalf of the blackmailing entitity's interest over the national interest. But the owner of Amazon (which is a very familiar company) - and his story might catch their attention. And perhaps, just perhaps, give a realtime example. In a story that is directly related to the President, or at least an entitiy already proven to "protect" the President.

(65,408 posts)to hold over his opponents. You just know that's what caused Lindsey Graham to do his 180° spin. No doubt Trump's Republican enablers are up to their ears in rubles, but a bunch of them probably also fear what he has on them even more than they fear his rabid base. Maybe felling Pecker's blackmail operation will free a few of them up.
