    Just another way of getting things done. When you consider the staggering amount of money on the table when votes come up, it would not surprise me if dc and places like it had the equivalent of "Extortions R Us" where it a business.
    I have thought this was the case for years. Especially since the Snowden revelations. When his leak disclosed the U.S. was sending raw telephone PIN data from the D.C. area to "trusted partners" I recoiled in horror. How could any U.S. citizen do that and not recognize the potential of blackmail against our elected servants and the professional bureaucrat class?

    "Senator, we have call logs showing long calls between you and this young lady at XXX address, XXX phone number. It would be a shame for your wife to realize you were not at work during XXX dates. It would be very helpful for you to vote Yay on XXX bill."

    I was told explicitly on INGO that it was ridiculous to suggest this kind of leverage was present in DC, particularly involving children and underage victims…

    By whom?

    I taught SAEDA and OPSEC in the Army.

    These congress critters need ti be taught about MICE.

    It wouldn't help though, their little head always wins no matter the consequences.

    My comment relates to threads several years ago that several here denied that it was plausible to have pedophile rings blackmailing our leaders…

    I don't know about rings, I do however believe in espionage.

    • Money, The problem is that insider trading is legal for them, so they can be swayed by lobbyists.
    • Ideology, Sadly Americanism is no longer predominant.
    • Compromise, If you have not already watch Reacher S2 E4
    • Ego, 99.44/100% of all politicians are in it for the power.
