Soooooo…. This is a crime, right? Like- an actual “go get his ass, and lock him up while he waits for trial” kind of crime, right?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Add it to the list. Any regular person would be locked up for life if they did just one percent of his crimes.
Yeah, right up there with taking and refusing classified government documents.
They'll jail him aaaaaaaaaany day now
It'll be another trial in about 2-3 years.
If you can prove that influencing the testimony was the intention behind it and if you can furthermore prove that he himself did it.
If he says the magic words "nope, the timing and the people benefiting from it were pure coincidences" and "I knew nothing, it was once again that one criminal underling whom I don't even know despite him having been my fixer for years", historically he gets away with it with very few exceptions.
And gee, it's worked out so well for him so far. :)

So if he is paying witnesses to defend him, like usual, he's doing a terrible job at it!
Even so, if there's any effectiveness in his scheme, his outcomes would have been so very much worse without it.
Lol I love the fact that he sits there with a completely blank notebook opened somewhere in the middle. What are the odds every page before and after are completely blank and he just sits that way to look like he's paying attention / about to take notes.
Hey, if it got him through school...
Uh oh! Now that this information is known Trump might get a $1000 Fine!
Perhaps even a sternly-worded admonishment!
or the whole case most likely dismissed because the bar of proof is so high. we CANNOT depend on the justice system people. we have to make justice ourselves. these slimy bastards are getting bolder and bolder. are you going to watch it happen and do nothing? you WILL reap the consequences.
"Rewarding" huh?
