Is extortion legal? Why else are obscenely wealthy contributors threatening pols that they'll stop contributing to their campaigns?

That's what they're gonna do if a tax reform (read HUGE TAX CUTS) bill for the wealthy isn't passed ASAP. They are tired of waiting so the threats are becoming increasingly strident. Their current billions are not enough apparently to keep roofs over their heads or shoes on their childrens' feet. They are clearly FURIOUS and their families are suffering grievously. So with a LOADED gun to their heads the whiny spineless pols will do as their Johns direct them to do or the honey pots will dry up. SIGH. Politics as usual.  Right?
