This sounds quite plausible.
Dems seem awfully quiet.
This is a “threat to our democracy”. These are black mail research by the government of the United States using the assets of government!!. If this is true about the black mail of John Roberts I can see why Washington is frozen like a deer in the head lights. The ramifications of that are unfathomable possibly resulting in the necessary impeachment of Roberts and an emergency rehearing of the case not to mention prison for all involved or with knowledge. I understand the reluctance to leak this now. I see fear in the eyes of good Republicans . This has been delivered to every member of Congress. I speculate that it was the central discussion with Trump and Shumer today. It is so explosive as to literally change history. These were criminal acts and the those who knew of this including Obama and Hillary are in criminal jeopardy. I urge all to keep the pressure on for the release of the 4 page memo. This shut down is nothing compared to this “threat to our democracy”.
