So, if an actual quote was say "you know I'm not a rapist", but the prosecutor presents a quote "you know I'm a rapist.
That's not tampering with evidence?
That’s a silly analogy and shows how much you are reaching on this. The whole point the poster is making is that because the prosecution left off the word “like” that he altered the meaning of the sentence. However, if you read the transcript, the word “like” is used as a verbal interjection, Valley Girl style. “You, know, like, we went down to the lake, and then, like, we went swimming…”
It is not used to indicate a comparison. “Apples are like oranges because they are both fruit.”
And as far as the other statement, in one place the indictment says Trump acknowledged the information he was sharing was secret and quoted Trump as saying “this is a secret”. They try to say that the use of “a secret” did not mean it was secret in the legal sense. But in the transcript, Trump also says, “Secret. This is secret information.” So undermines the argument that somehow not including the “a” in one place somehow changed the context or altered evidence.
