The last few years, I've come to learn more about blackmail and how that is used to influence what I suspect is a lot more than what we suspect. Think Denny Hastert, rising to such a lofty position of power. A school teacher with no past in legal or business matters! He was raised to his position due to the fact he was shapable but those who really run things. I suspect the same from John Robert's last-minute change on his opinion of the O-care case and John Boehner's last couple of years as Speaker when every time he stepped to the podium, he was practically in tears.

I completely agree. Sooooo many times the "loyal opposition" during the Obama years would whine in disagreement and in a flash curl up on the floor in utter submission. Some would even pee at times. Being a little naive (used to be) I would see this behavior and would be completely baffled by it. Four years into Barko's Clown Show it dawned on me that the ONLY answer to explain what I was observing was to consider them all to compromised in various degrees. It was quite the revelation and just as grave as the meme about Barko that gets posted on FR: "When you consider that Obama is not on our side, it all makes sense."

A side note about blackmail: in his first State of the Union address, didn't Trump say something to the attendees about being "liberated"? There was also an event where 600,000+ files at the Utah NSA were purged subsequent to the SOTU address. Hmmm...
