Maybe they are being both blackmailed AND bribed. The Democraps like to do that. [I recall a philosophy article long ago described the concept of a “throffer” for criminals etc. A threat if you do or don’t do X, but also a beneficial “offer” (bribe) if you agree to play along.]

"In political philosophy, a throffer is a proposal (also called an intervention) that mixes an offer with a threat which will be carried out if the offer is not accepted."

OK, but if Seth Rich’s parents are being blackmailed, THEN being mailed checks, we can’t cast stones. Once people are terrified, nothing else counts. I maintain Seth Rich was trying to get the truth out, so his family, too, deserves the benefit of the doubt.
