Reply #17: Could The Phone Co or the administration be blackmailing Congressional Democrats?

[McCamy Taylor]

Leahy seemed adamant that he was not going to hand out immunity until AT&T and Verizon handed over the real scoop on the illegal spying program. If this immunity deal goes through, the truth will never be uncovered.

Back when I first posted my suspicions that the Democrats in Congress were going to roll over for AT&T and Verizon back in early October

I thought it would be for the old fashioned reason, for money. However, the Democratic base has been so vocal in its opposition to immunity that Congressional Democrats are taking a real political hit by doing this. It is no longer worth the money. They must have something to hide. Maybe The Phone Company is threatening to blackmail all the major Democratic presidential candidates. They have every friggin' email that anyone in the US has sent since 2001. They know everything about everybody.
