Clinton Backer Harvey Weinstein Turns to Threats, Tantrums and… Extortion?

Sources: Clinton supporter pressures Pelosi

Hillary Clinton supporter Harvey Weinstein threatened to cut off contributions to congressional Democrats unless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi embraced his plan to finance revotes in Florida and Michigan…

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton has promised that he will hold his breath until the superdelegates choose his wife as the nominee, and Chelsea Clinton has threatened to give the superdelegates the silent treatment if they don’t choose Hillary.

That would explain Bill’s red face during Hillary’s Indiana speech, at least…

But seriously, using threats of money, essentially reverse-bribery, to influence election decisions?  It doesn’t get much dirtier than that.  Extortion, anyone?

Cheers,
Charlie
