@interfluidity @michelle Probably nothing? Schumer does not need to be blackmailed to deflect responsibility.

@Alon @michelle perhaps, but deflection of responsibility in this way invites speculation, legitimately.

@interfluidity @Alon @michelle yeah, honestly, nothing is the answer. Schumer is the representative of the interests of the Democrats in the Senate, so on ethical issues he’s most comparable to a police union rep or something — his job is to defend the indefensible because his members want it defended. Basically no non-Senator is on his side and that’s maybe how it has to be?
