Not that I think there is anything to this at all but I have been searching the interwebs to see if “Subornation of perjury” is even a felony.

Five year max. sentence.

Note that the Constitutional standard includes misdemeanors.

I know the penalty but is it a felony?

If the maximum penalty is more than one year, it is a felony. That’s the federal definition.

You got it 100%.

What happens when we don’t go quietly into that good night?

Funny how the democrats wished for, and then got war, 1861-65... And this new crop of democrats? Will they get their wish, too?

Also, see my tag line.

Just thought I'd respond to your last comment. I'm sure you've seen the news late today.

Mueller's people threw cold water on the Cohen revelation reported by Buzzfeed about Trump asking him to lie or "suborning perjury to obstruct justice" as you called it. Mueller's team said it never happened.

Again Buzzfeed caught in a lie and Trump comes out smelling like a rose. Why does that not surprise me?

Maybe you should embrace my approach to all this media stuff that turns out to be not true.

Don't believe a thing you read or hear in the liberal media. It's all false reporting and/or fake news. 24/7 we hate Trump stories they make up.

Remember Buzzfeed claimed they didn't have any direct evidence of this "crime". That makes their story suspect to me from the get-go.

IOW, proceed with caution when you read or hear about these things that sound too good to be true. Nothing is as it first appears.
