Nathan DeBruin testified in Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial and claimed that prosecutors asked him to change parts of his statement to match their story.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that DeBruin, a Kenosha photographer, was initially subpoenaed by the prosecution but “was brought as a witness for the defense” after claiming prosecutors asked him to change his statement.

From DOJ site:

“Conspiracy to suborn perjury may be prosecuted irrespective of whether perjury has been committed.”

1752. SUBORNATION OF PERJURY

To establish a case of subornation of perjury, a prosecutor must demonstrate that perjury was committed; that the defendant procured the perjury corruptly, knowing, believing or having reason to believe it to be false testimony; and that the defendant knew, believed or had reason to believe that the perjurer had knowledge of the falsity of his or her testimony.

Allowing Kyle to take the stand is the ultimate indicator of the strength of the Defense’s case. No way would the accused normally be allowed by his counsel to testify as the prosecutor will be relentless in trying to fluster the defendant and catch him in some sort of lie. Kyle is a very sympathetic person and they must hope actually hearing his side of the story directly from him will give the jury the courage to withstand the pressure they are under to convict.

“[Y]ou just need leftist mayors and police to stand-down to create quite a spectacle.”

Even worse, the leftist mayors and prosecutors actually sponsor those mobs and will persecute (that’s right, persecute) any law abiding citizen like Kyle who uses his/her Second Amendment rights to resist the lawless communist mobs.

The swamp is taking Kyle down. He will be slaughtered on the altar of Saint Floyd of Fentanyl. The jurors have been exposed and will be doxxed. Antifa, BLM, and the other democrat party terrorist groups will threaten the nation and jurors. I have zero faith in anything government.

There's a difference between the offense of subornation of perjury and conspiracy to suborn perjury.

“While questioning DeBruin on the stand Tuesday, Kraus said, “We had you read over your statement, right?”

DeBruin responded, “Correct.”

Kraus followed, “And we asked if you knew anything beyond that statement.”

DeBruin said, “Correct.”

Kraus then said, “We didn’t ask you to change it.”

DeBruin answered, “Yes, you did.””

Let me rephrase...

YES YOU DID ask me to change my testimony, you lying sack of $hit.

I’ve had experience with prosecutors. They collude, have agenda’s and ignore evidence that does not suit their cause. I have so much evidence on one, I could destroy her career in a heart beat. Unfortunately she is my estranged daughter and I can’t bring myself to it. I waiting for “karma” to take care of her.

I have been critical of Rittenhouse going to Kenosha and injecting himself into the situation, but I firmly believe in his claim of self defense (the videos don’t lie, liberals do). Regarding your last sentence, I couldn’t agree with you more, Antifa and BLM types, you have been warned, we will NOT go quietly into the night while you burn down our cities.
Post script; I just saw Rittenhouse TOTALLY break down emotionally on the stand. They took a short adjournment, now they’re back and he’s resumed his testimony.
