Roberts isn't stupid. It's far worse than that.
I believe that Roberts is compromised. I speculate that somebody in the Ruling Class knows things about him that he doesn't want to be made public, and that he is being blackmailed.
People who believe in blackmail are out of their minds. Conspiracy buffs. People who don’t believe in them are so very, very intelligent. The use of “Lubyanka Ladies” was perfected by the KGB. I am sure their methods have not been refined by U.S. intelligence. Hillary Clinton obtained 900 FBI files for totally innocent reasons. J. Edgar Hoover taped Martin Luther King. I don’t believe these tapes were ever made public. He was just drinking tea with various ladies of the night. The NSA and FBI had no knowledge of Dennis Hasters peccadilloes. General Petraeus’ relationships became public at the most inconvenient time. The problem is that Israeli and Chinese intelligence agencies have access to this nonexistent information. Of course they would never blackmail an American politician.
I believe the same thing about Roberts
Then what I said remains. He was STUPID for doing something that GOT HIM COMPROMISED as you call it.
