John was a popular student while in High School in LaPort, In., captain of the football team and an outstanding wrestler. Obviously he no longer plays football but I'm guessing that he still wrestles. Here he is shown enjoying an elaborate meal with his best and closest friends. His recent professional pictures show his constant smile but never a toothy grin. Is it a possible signal to all with special interests that he is an accomplished sexual performer.
I had read a separate follow-up on the gay theme that said his two friends shown in the above picture were now married with family. But so what if he is gay and did in fact hustle up and married a compliant shemale and then secured a couple white kids so all could live as a happy family unit and complete his resume. If this were true none of this would change the fact that he is a supreme for life and an attempt to use the information to blackmail and effect the outcome of a decision before the Supreme Court would be met by a toothless smirk from this very smart man.
Blackmail is not a one dimensional threat. As for threats, they can be aimed at someone that Roberts cares very much about. Those are usually the most effective. I would not discount the notion that pressure was brought to bear on Roberts.
