How does he get away with this? How is he coercing them? Is he bribing them?

What is the quid quo pro here?

And he's actually invited them to the White House. All this is out in the open - right in front of our eyes.

He makes no bones about what he is trying to do either. He's blatantly trying to undermine this election and steal it away in full view of the American People. I just don't get it.

How does he continually get away with this crap?

...that, if they switch their votes, they could be liable for state bribery charges, which Barr can’t control.
