51. Blackmail, like money? Or something much more sinister?

In Shitler's case...blackmail could take many forms.

If they successfully hacked with the candidate's okay, and if they have any good stuff on the RNC, the hackers will be able to get anything they want for at least the next four years. From Congress, from the President, law enforcement. Anything.

The very idea that Trump was an accomplice to a stolen election would make him susceptible to extreme pressure from blackmailers every single minute of his presidency. If RNC folks knew that the election would be stolen, and discussed it in hacked documents, all of those folks may be guilty of very serious crimes. This would leave all of them at risk of blackmail at any time. The hackers are already deciding which of the spoils they will claim. His presidency is compromised from Day One.

This must not be allowed to happen.
