well, if your name is muller, you threaten their entire family...

From the very first day an intelligence officer begins his training, he is primed on how to become the best salesperson in the world. Spies aren’t selling an ordinary product, however. The product they’re selling is treason. If an intelligence officer doesn’t close a deal, he might end up getting killed or spending the rest of his life inside a foreign prison.
Treason, which is generally defined as betraying one’s country, is a pretty tough item to sell, particularly because the punishment for it is unforgiving. In the United States, when Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were convicted of conspiring to share U.S. atomic secrets with the Soviet Union in the 1950s, they were executed in the electric chair.
Punishments for treason throughout the world have also included being hanged, beheaded, burned at the stake, or, more commonly today, life imprisonment. Committing treason is a massive risk that comes with huge consequences, but intelligence officers are specifically trained to have the persuasion skills get people to take that risk and help the United States.
Now, I imagine you’re not an intelligence operative who needs to persuade someone to betray their country. But, like most people, you’d probably love to have the skills to persuade anyone — a friend, family member, co-worker, boss — to do anything you want.

Great, so how can we persuade Jim Acosta to go screw himself?
Sounds like “Xray Glasses”

Comic Books!
It’s called prying. And is pretty common among busybodies and con persons.
LOL
The easiest way to flip someone is blackmail. Catch them doing something, or entice them into doing something illegal and you’ve got’em.
In my day getting caught smoking dope to doing homo activities was a sure ticket to losing a security clearance, as if the other guys discovered it, you were subject to being flipped.
Not lately.

The spies in political office, and in the media, use a form of this technique, going from micro to macro, when they’re trying to evade and distract from the truth.
Heck, you could flip a supreme court with blackmail.
Cool technique. Didn’t realize that I’ve been doing this (in a fashion) for years.
Or else just smother him with a pillow.
One of the fun things about President Trump is that he has led such a public life that there is just about nothing the swamp can blackmail him over.
Ask people what they like and what is important to them. Then find a way to give that to them in return for doing what you want.
A large part of the course were briefings on what to do and what not to do, using case histories. About 50% of the classes were classified.
One really good case history was a foreign service tried to turn a Marine Major. They showed him copies of his gambling bills and pictures of him in compromising positions with loose women. The major laughed and told them, he was single and only gambled the money he had and oh yeah, could he get a copy of the pictures to prove to his Mom that he wasn't gay. This major must have been the life of the party. Almost every question on the debrief (he reported the contact immediately) was hilarious. Like:
Debriefer: "What were the compromising postions?
Major: "Postions that your first and second girl friend would never do. Well at least mine didn't, but I guess some guys were luckier than I was.
Yup
Or else just smother him with a pillow”
I wonder, if, in our lifetime, this deep state stuff will be exposed.
Can I buy a car with these tips and get a good deal?
“They showed him copies of his gambling bills and pictures of him in compromising positions with loose women.”
The outfit I worked for took security violations very serious, but they knew boys would be boys. They pretty much let us whore around all we wanted and even issued condoms at the orderly room. When I went to work for them in the DC area I shacked up with a married woman. This was in the days when adultery could get you into serious trouble no matter who you worked for. Everyone knew of my affair.
On the other side of the spectrum you had to have the CO’s permission to get married. Marry the wrong girl, and your security clearance was gone and get reassigned to a regular DA unit. Persons denied marriage, usually to a foreign national, would get shipping orders.
Now that I look back on it, I think they let us play with wild women simply because so many would be doing it anyway. From a security point of view it would be one less compromising situation the bad guys could use against you.
It has become fashionable for those on the Left to pretend that loyalty to country has been superseded by loyalty to Higher Cause or a Greater Truth, that being the ineluctable progress of history and loyalty to its supposed actors. Treason, in that sense, has been misdirected or defined out of existence. That serves to ease the emotional discomfort of selling your country out but doesn't help to keep the rope from your neck, or the electrodes, as the Rosenbergs found out, martyrs to a cause that was corrupt and decrepit from the start.
