I'm not sure. And then: you have to release it. Releasing blackmail is like killing a hostage. In this case, it might reveal the whole op, because people are going to ask where this was taken, by whom, and of who else they have films.

  1. Come back to reality.
  2. "What good is blackmail if you can't use it?"

It's actually a classic strategy: gradual escalation.

Prison > assassination > blackmail is not rational escalation.

Come back to reality.

Not being a blackmailer myself, I have to try to think about what I would do in their position. I think it's pretty reality-based.

"What good is blackmail if you can't use it?"

They can. But it's not their first choice, you have to agree with that, right?

Prison > assassination > blackmail is not rational escalation.

That's assuming that they did the assassination - which isn't unreasonable, but not a certainty, nor proven. But I disagree specifically for Epstein-style blackmail. They have plausible deniability for prison and assassination. It doesn't burn any of their other blackmail.

If they have other blackmail that is unconnected to a child rape ring that they're running, sure, blackmail would go before assassination and perhaps prison.

It's the first choice of every blackmailer if the target isn't doing what they want. Read about the history of the mob or pretty much any other blackmail extortion scheme ever.

Prince Andrew completely disproves this theory. He got burned with a photo without bringing down anyone else.

The thing is, Trump is doing what they want. Obviously, they were pretty smart not to use their blackmail and reveal that they were running a child rape gang for blackmail, if that is what they were doing - since they were able to control Trump without it, if they're not using it.

Fair point, though I doubt a mere photo would sink Trump.

Now you're just assuming your conclusion and no, they would be retarded because they could've used it to eliminate him easily and get Kamala in there.
