20. Part Stockhlom Syndrome, part ongoing hostage situation.

I guarantee you that he has loads of dirt and is more than willing to use it. On top of that, he's got terrorists who are literally threatening the lives of those in Congress.

That's hostage taking, and it is ongoing. But many hostages can and do develop Stockholm Syndrome, where they identify with their captors. That is also happening.

We need to stop the hostage taking first, then deal with the latent psychotic issues such as Stockholm Syndrome.
