I think the purpose behind this is to show that a convicted liar and now cheated can’t be trusted to believe anything he has to say.

The left is melting down over this tweet and claiming this is witness tampering.

Wouldn't tampering be threatening to release damaging information, rather than ACTUALLY releasing damaging information, as Gaetz did? Cohen has no incentive to hold back now. In fact he's MORE likely to angrily attack Trump than before.

If I were a prosecutor and someone posted something like this about one of my witnesses, I’d seriously consider charging them with witness tampering.

Except this so-called "witness" pled guilty to LYING to this same body the last time he was a so-called "witness." Which begs the question: why invite him back if one seeks the truth?

Was it witness tampering when just about everyone in DC said Trump would be impeached if he didn’t admit to coordination with the Russians?

I don’t think so.

This is a nothingburger to the nth degree.

I worked the Vice Squad for a while. We would do reversals/stings with some of the female detectives. They were some really good looking women and at times it boggled the mind that someone would think they were actually walking the streets. Anywho, they would reel guys in, all day and night, who would then be charged with a city ordinance. One of the judges, if he found out the guy was married, would reset the case for two weeks and make the guy bring his wife back with him. I used to see guys, damn near on their knees begging him and in tears, begging to plead guilty and pay whatever fine he wanted.

I think that’s enticing, entrapment, and chicken shit.

To quote another Freeper, “I like him but I don’t trust him”.

I am not from FL—would like to know what is it you don’t trust?
A lot of people I initially thought were rock-solid have turned out to be very disappointing (e.g., Tim Scott), so I would appreciate your observations.

Geatz caved:

Speaker, I want to get the truth too. While it is important 2 create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was NOT my intent to threaten, as some believe I did. I’m deleting the tweet & I should have chosen words that better showed my intent. I’m sorry.

VERY good question! We should all ask it.
