The Russiagate hysteria has reached a new low on mainstream US TV, where an expert on MSNBC claimed Republicans are being blackmailed or threatened by their own president.
“I think it’s possible some of these GOP players are greedy and opportunistic,” Kendzior replied. “I also think they’re being blackmailed or threatened.” Kendzior alleged that the Republican National Committee had been hacked, as had Graham’s personal emails, suggesting that compromising information on him and other Republicans could be circulating. “[W]e know that Trump has a long track record of blackmailing and threatening those who he sees as his political opponents. That goes back throughout his entire career.”
