You're reaching. A group of criminals (unless they have crazy connections and huge old school mob support, which they dont in this case) is not going to be able to influence a future election. That's not in their thinking and is a ridiculous statement.
No, they wanted the tape to gain or increase control over Ford. (Or possibly a quick cash grab, though that didn't work previously so I don't believe it's the reason here.) Whether or not there is real control yet, he is already compromised. At the very least, everyone who works with him will be wondering and analysing his decisions in the future. It may have already discouraged business. That is compromised. And I'm sure it's already more than that.
You've got the blinders on if you can't admit that.
