Rudy needs to explain to the Donald that extortion is a felony.

Extortion definition
 
Extortion is a crime in which one person forces another person to do something against his will, generally to give up money or other property, by threat of violence, property damage, damage to the person’s reputation, or extreme financial hardship. Extortion involves the victim’s consent to the crime, but that consent is obtained illegally

[big[Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer won’t cave to President Trump’s long-held demand for a border wall when they meet with him at the White House on Tuesday, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

Pelosi (D-Calif.), who’s vying to become the next House speaker, and Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Senate minority leader, [big[plan to make it clear to Trump during the Oval Office sit-down that they are willing to earmark between $1.3 and $1.6 billion for border security-related measures but won’t allot any funding for the construction of a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, a source involved in the negotiations said.

“Both leaders will only be bringing to the table what their members are already for: some funding for long-passed and long-established border security that has nothing to do with a wall,” the source told the Daily News.

The Democratic opposition is likely to rile Trump, who has demanded Congress allot at least $5 billion for his wall ahead of a Dec. 21 spending deadline. Trump has threatened to veto any bill that falls short of his demand, which would result in a partial government shutdown.

{This meets the definition of extortion}

The source said Trump, not Democrats, will be to blame if a shutdown ensues.

“Both the Senate and the House have a deal that can pass,” the source said, referencing a bill with bipartisan support that includes $1.6 billion border security component. “The question is what the President will sign.”

A White House spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment.
