#ExplainLikeImFive: From the legal perspective, what are the similarities and differences between: 1) Extortion, and 2) Blackmail? Plus, is all extortion and/or blackmail LEGAL when it originates from within the US government? #usdemocracy

Some billionaires apparently work very hard to accumulate power and wealth so that they can be in the proper position to cower when a banana republic dictator threatens them.

Congress, in the 1st impeachment, decided that extortion, when committed by tRump, is legal. According to the ultimate legal authority, the Supreme Court, the differences between blackmail and extortion are irrelevant as both (& any other crime) are completely legal if committed by tRump.
