I sorta checked out the blackmail angle on Rubio trying to give him every advantage I could. I really supported him at one time,but all I found was an ancient espanol hissy fit involving Uninvision TV and Rubio's brother-in-law on a coke charge which doesn't even get an acknowledgment in South Florida. Hardly blackmailable.

Think outside the box. Outside of what one would normally view as dirt that is discoverable. A person can be taped inside his own home very easily now since so many devices can be turned on remotely. Just about everyone has a TV in their bedroom. Many TVs are Internet-connected and have built-in mics and cameras. So do gaming consoles. And smart phones now have cameras on front and back, making it harder to stay out of view (much less earshot). Until this NSA story broke, the typical person was unaware of the possible hacks on their phone and didn’t know to reach for the duct tape to cover the lens when he’s participating in his favorite vice. Or to take the battery out during all that pillow talk.
“Blackmailable material” has been redefined. It truly could be anything we do, in any room of our house and anywhere we go, going back for as long as we’ve had ‘smart devices.’ (5 to 10 yrs?). That’s a LOT of potential embarrassing behavior that could be stored somewhere.
I miss the good old days of stolen FBI files.
