Bribery, Extortion, Quid Pro Quo, Election Interference? [View all]
Can someone explain to me why the donors who are threatening to withhold funding from elected Democratic representatives are not engaging in bribery, extortion, election interference, and Quid Pro Quo? Yes, donors may fund the candidates of their choice or may choose not to donate based upon benefits to themselves. In this case, however, they are asking currently serving members of our government, including the President of the United States, to nullify the results of a legitimate primary election. It's one thing to say "I won't donate to you unless you promise not to vote for any legislation that will raise my taxes". It seems a totally different ballgame to offer money in exchange for an elected and currently serving member of congress to pressure the President not to fulfill his commitment to seek re-election after he has won the primary election. Furthermore, how do these big tech donors KNOW President Biden will not win unless they have a plan in place to interfere with the election process or tamper with voting machines, or the electronic calculation or transfer of voting results? I really don't understand any of this. As President Biden now has immunity for official acts, shouldn't he safeguard our democracy by having the DOJ open investigations into these so-called " donors" who are attempting to overturn a primary election using threats/extortion? We need to know who is behind this and whether foreign governments are also involved this attempted election interference.
