This is like the Senator who implied and accused people of being Communist to shut them up and blackmail them. “Do what I want, or I’ll say you’re on my list!” It is extortion and, given the political situation, a threat to incite violence.

Liberals are creating lists of people to shame, shun, ruin and threaten.

Now they’ve moved on to “here’s my secret list, I’ll leak your name if I want to ruin you - and let the conservative lynch mob hurt you”.

This is akin to a Muslim boss accusing someone demanding back pay of blasphemy knowing the lynch mob will hurt them victim for them. It is a cross between blackmail and defamation. “Do what I want, or I’ll tell your base you really hate Trump / did X, too.”

Remember how Woodward and Bernstein were such great patriots for rooting out the corruption in the Nixon administration? They couldn't be bothered with the Obama administration which completely politicized federal law enforcement and used it to destroy Trumps administration.

This tells you all you need to know about Carl Bernstein.
