Liberal progressive groups are blatantly pushing the letter of the law on bribery, extortion and open threats.

Not a surprise I guess.

The liberals, and “progressives” have apparently decided to destroy representative government.

Don’t know what they expect to replace elections with, but it will no doubt be presented as being “common sense.”

The peace loving radicals, the ones who lecture us that love trumps hate, are the ones making these threats.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

With Sessions in charge, I don’t expect to see any charges filed.

That’s not fundraising - that’s a defacto political bribe and those funded it and the website supporting it should face criminal penalties

You hit on the key provision … it is not bribery, it is extortion, and that is what they should be charged under. In this instance, they are attempting to obtain a vote in their favor, through force or threats.

def: the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.

She’s got no backbone. She’ll wait until the votes to confirm are above 50 then she’ll vote against.

It’s not bribery, it’s extortion. Do what we want or else. Plain and simple.

THey found ONE expert who was willing to say she thought it might be legal.

But it is pretty clear it is a bribe. And it doesn’t even matter whether you decide money going to an opponent is different — because a bribe is anything of value, and REMOVING $1.2 million from an opponent is clearly a thing of value.

More oddly, are there really that many people who are willing to give $1.2 million total to get her removed from the senate, but who would ONLY give that money if she didn’t vote right on this one thing? I mean, no matter how she votes, there’s still a democrat running against her, and why would these people not still give money to that democrat?

BTW, a particular democrat candidate saying “I’m only going to run for office if she votes for BK”, that wouldn’t be a bribe.
