Yes we do know they do blackmail. Its one of the things we know very well. It is what happened through out the cold war. Blackmail is a tried and tested method, as old as it gets in intelligence and espionage.
BTW, have to ask. Would this have been your reply if a year ago I told you the NSA were spying in a comprehensive, industrial way on the American public? Would you have claimed it was fear mongering "bullshit", and banging on about mythical creatures?
Do you have evidence that the NSA is blackmailing members of congress into continuing to fund the NSA's projects?
And the "fear mongering bullshit" I referenced earlier has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the NSA is spying on US citizens, and everything to do with the fact that you're lying about having knowledge that the NSA is blackmailing congress.
