Lol.. apparently they are not familiar with the legal term of blackmail.

n. the crime of threatening to reveal embarrassing, disgraceful or damaging facts (or rumors) about a person to the public, family, spouse or associates unless paid off to not carry out the threat. It is one form of extortion (which may include other threats such as physical harm or damage to property).

Threatening to release names with the caveat of ignoring his actions is the problem.

Pelosi is only saying this because of the backlash she created with the double standard and "iconic" comment. Safer to get it all out now and spend the next year on damage control than trying to downplay it only to have an October surprise during the midterm elections.
