More potential witness tampering ... by Trump?

At the last hearing, Cheney made waves by revealing that Trump World had been engaging in a suspect — and potentially criminal — practice: witness intimidation and/or tampering. One example she cited involved reminding a witness that an unnamed person was “thinking about” them on the eve of their deposition and knew they would do what it took to stay within “the good graces” of Trump World.

And after we picked our jaws up from the floor, I and many other lawyers and legal journalists reflected that if true, the examples Cheney provided could constitute a violation of 18 USC 1512(c), which can carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

There has also been recent reporting, including from “The Rachel Maddow Show” and our blog about the Trump campaign paying for the legal fees of various Jan. 6 committee witnesses and how those payments could themselves constitute potential wrongdoing by the former president and his allies.

But as unsubtle as those overtures — at least some of which were directed to Cassidy Hutchinson — were, they don’t hold a candle to Cheney’s announcement today:

"After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation, a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings. That person declined to answer or respond to president trump’s call and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. Their lawyer alerted us, and this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice."

As Jessica Levinson and I have discussed, whether or not the committee having “supplied that information to the Department of Justice” constitutes an official criminal referral is unimportant. What matters is that Trump World’s campaign to influence witnesses only seems to be escalating — and now, the DOJ knows it. And if they have the will to further investigate these efforts, Merrick Garland and his deputy, Lisa Monaco, certainly know how.

... Tried to call a witness?? ... So what?
Trump's NOT on trial here.

Sadly for the left there isn’t meat left on the bone. We are way past the comedy stage of this topic.

He will be.
