Somebody once noted that session overts were not good blackmail material because they were hearsay written down by somebody else (the auditor).

Tell that to the young woman who had a secret abortion while she was away at college and is sent the message that her Catholic parents and grand parents might just find out about it, if....
Or to the business man who cheated on his taxes years ago and had a management consultation, etc. with one of the Scientology Admin tech front groups, and receives a message that the IRS might just find out about it, if...
Many people who were involved in Scientology did Drug Rundowns, where every drug the person has used is listed...
And lots of stuff from Grade two, and Sec Checks...
If the person doesn't care, and doesn't care how others will react, and is willing to be truthful to others despite their possible dismay or shock (such as the shock of the Catholic parents and grandparents to hearing that their daughter/granddaughter had her child murdered - which is how they would see it), or doesn't care, and is willing to lie to others about whatever it is, then it likely won't have much effect - unless he/she finds himself/herself being investigated by some government agency because of an anonymous tip, etc. (Of course, even if the "investigation" results in nothing, the "fact" of the "investigation" could, then, be used in "PR.")
If the "tech is in," information such as this should never be used, directly, in "PR." Basically, it's "Intelligence," which was obtained covertly, in this case by way of the "suitable guise" of a "minister," or an "auditor," or "consultant," etc., so, if used, it would qualify as "Black Propaganda" and, again, "if tech is in," the source of "Black Propaganda" should always remain unknown.
Information, covertly obtained, can sometimes be used to obtain - "legally" - other information, and this other information can be used in "PR."
It doesn't always "work." Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
It's just another tacky aspect of the shady and gnarly visible/hidden
