Anyone else think they've cleaned up the blackmailing stuff behind the scenes now?

Why would Lin and Sidney even bother when (especially Lin) they both know the judges have pedo tapes hanging over their heads meaning they have to dance to the tune of the Cabal?

This is a massive waste of time and money...unless it isn't?

(I think there was a Q drop for freedom day where it talks about how those who were compromised are free from this stuff etc?)
