Good point. Suppose you are, in principle, being blackmailed by Badguy A and Badguy B, with corresponding inculpating information A1 and B1. Is A1 = B1? If A1 > B1, then Badguy A has the upper hand. So, what does A know about B1, and B about A1? Or, it becomes an issue of how much mercy one can plead from A or B. In any case, the SC justice is going into meltdown.
I am mindful of Trump's principle of always being ready to walk away from a deal. In this case, it might morph into always being ready to pull the trigger. Could be a good object lesson for the next prospect.
