    Fmr Federal Prosecutor: If I Had a Wiretap and Someone Said What Trump Tweeted I’d Say

    ‘Wow, We Got Him on Obstruction’


    CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney with the Southern District of New York, said that

    if he had heard over a wiretap what Trump just tweeted he would have been giddy.


    What about

    witness tampering? “He’s pretty close to the line,” Honig said.

    “He is right on the edge of witness tampering.”

    Robert Mueller Is ‘Tying Up Loose Ends’ And Getting Ready To Drop The Hammer On Trump

    his team is getting ready to drop the hammer on Donald Trump via a series of key do ents set to be filed in the coming days.

    “Special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors have told defense lawyers in recent weeks that they are ‘tying up loose ends’ in their investigation,

    providing the clearest clues yet that the long-running probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election may be coming to its climax,

    potentially in the next few weeks,

    according to multiple sources close to the matter.”

    Trump biographer: The president has been compromised by the Russians “for decades”

    “I believe most of the GOP leadership has been compromised by” Russian money, author Craig Unger added

    A biographer who
    detailed the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian mob explained that Russia’s financial links to the United States extend far beyond the president.

    Craig Unger, author of "House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia," wrote in a Reddit AMA that one of the biggest surprise in his book is how
    Trump has been compromised “for decades.”

    “Trump was first compromised by the Russians in the Eighties back in the days of the Soviet Union and the Cold War,” Unger wrote.

    “In 1984, my book shows, the

    Russian Mafia first began to use Trump real estate to launder money and

    it continued for decades and

    may have accounted for billions of dollars flowing to Trump.”

    In 1998, he added, Trump took out full-page ads in the New York Times and the Washington Post after his first trip to Russia that touted “a foreign policy that was very anti-NATO.”

    In the 90’s, Unger wrote, Russians began sending money to Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas,

    He also suggested that the mafia was sending money to other Republicans as well.

    “I believe most of the GOP leadership has been compromised by” Russian money, the author added.

    “The Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee run by Mitch McConnell got millions from [Soviet-born businessman] Leonard Blavatnik.”

    Rudy Giuliani’s defense of Trump tweet ‘gets you very, very close to witness tampering’

    Rudy Giuliani’s defense of President Donald Trump sounds like the excuses offered by everyone prosecuted for witness tampering,

    president’s attorney didn’t do his client any favors by admitting Trump was trying to direct Roger Stone to be truthful when testifying in the special counsel probe.

    “It’s the only defense to witness tampering,” Goldman told “Morning Joe.”

    “‘I’m not telling them to lie, I’m simply telling them to tell the truth.'”

    Rudy Giuliani admitted that

    Donald Trump’s tweet was encouraging something is an indication, whether it’s to lie or not to lie.”

    “In this case, he says it’s not to lie, but

    he’s encouraging him to do something — which gets you very, very close to witness tampering,”

    exhorting defendants to tell the truth isn't witness tampering.

    that said, DJT is a terrible client for a lawyer to have.

    Except for the fact that Cohen told the truth - and Mueller team made sure it was the truth by corroborating his claims -
    and
    Trump then tweeted that Cohen should go to prison for a long time

    Stone has done nothing but lie - to Congress - to the public -
    and
    Trump has praised him lavishly for being a s bag

    WITNESS TAMPERING - IMPEACHABLE

    witness tampering certainly is impeachable, but with a GOP Senate majority it is most unlikely that DJT will be removed.

    I'm not a lawyer, but a few lawyers I follow weighed in on this yesterday. Asking people to tell the truth is an affirmative defense.

    unlike a criminal proceeding, in a civil lawsuit, the jury is allowed to assume a negative inference from somebody pleading the 5th
