Maddow's "satire" has helped unseat several governors and now is conspiring with a DC lawyer in what appears to be blackmail/extortion of potentially many politicians and clergy and perhaps even Justices on the USSC. I suggest she/they be wire-tapped if she hasn't been already; under suspicion of treason and sedition.

Luckily our system of justice doesn't operate like Silhouette's Star Chamber.
Reporting the facts about politicians is not blackmail, nor a crime.
Illegally wire tapping is.
When investigators gather evidence, it's not illegal. The definition of extortion is to demand or even suggest that if a person doesn't give you what you want, even if your threats of exposure are about real crimes the person may have committed, you will expose them or their families to public scorn, ridicule or prosecution. That's exactly what the DC lawyer is up to with a leg up from MSNBC. I imagine there are a number of officials who have 'gotten the message' and for not obeying the demand, were, or are awaiting in dread, being defrocked of their careers.
Sil, you don't have the slightest clue what the legal definition of 'extortion' is. You're just making up more pseudo-legal prattle drawn from the same well of hysteric overreaction that labeled Maddow commenting on a news story as 'assassination', 'blackmail', 'gripping millions of voters by the neck', 'terrorist act', 'sedition', 'usurping democracy', 'acting like a dictator', and 'using a 'grenade'.
You seem to be under the impression that the more wild and insane your accusations, the greater Maddow's 'offense'.
Back in reality, Maddow simply reported on a prominent news story. One of hundreds she's covered. Maddow being one commentator among dozens. There was nothing particularly remarkable about her commentary.
Your reaction however......is as bizarre as it is frantically delusional. As you demonstrate with each layer of hapless batshit you add to an already impressive pile of meaningless pseudo-legal gibberish.
