The McCain Associate Who Delivered the "Steele" Dossier to the FBI Hoped to Blackmail Trump out of the Election

"Blackmail" is my word -- but what would you call it?

When you tell someone you have information over them and that therefore they must do something they otherwise wouldn't do -- well, that's blackmail, isn't it?

Or a "friendly advisory"? Doesn't seem so friendly though.

What a crew are these.

From @JaneMayerNYer: McCain associate hoped to have McCain confront Trump, tell him, 'The Russians have got you,' after which Trump would resign. https://t.co/TF8CNSLPQy pic.twitter.com/EiM5Tkg9Qc
