to anyone, or it will become public or lead to criminal charges. That's how blackmail works. You have information the victim can't have released, so you can hold them up for something.

I'm sure that's true. Perhaps politicians should make those threats MineralMan Dec 2019 #12

Yes, and it could get very ugly. I hope not, but that is the direction Repuks go. Stuart G Dec 2019 #11
