Kellyanne Conway‘s attorney husband George was quick to respond on Monday to President Donald Trump‘s latest anti-Robert Mueller Twitter tirade.
Trump rattled off a series of tweets this morning, lamenting the latest news about Michael Cohen, praising Roger Stone for having “guts” (i.e. saying that he will “never testify against Trump), and calling Mueller “a much different man than people think.”
18 U.S.C. § 1512 is, plain and simple, witness tampering. Conway is suggesting that Mueller might be looking at this tweet, as Mueller has apparently looked at other statements made on the president’s social medium of choice. The president also cause a stir recently when he said that a pardon of Paul Manafort, for instance, is not off the table.
“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”

George is right. This is genuinely looking like witness tampering. DOJ (at least with a nonfake AG) prosecutes cases like these all the time. The fact it’s done out in the open is no defense. Trump is genuinely melting down, and no good lawyer can represent him under these circs https://t.co/zqFUoQvWTf

Trump is openly threatening Cohen with max jail time for cooperating with Mueller while applauding Stone for his “guts.” Has anyone ever been tried for obstruction of justice and witness tampering by tweet?

“Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time.” You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term? He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself, and get…..

….his wife and father-in-law (who has the money?) off Scott Free. He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence.

Sir, if I might remind you. It’s not “Scott Free.” The term “scot-free” originally meant getting away with not paying taxes. Given that you may owe $400 million in back taxes to New York state, perhaps now is not the time to throw stones at Cohen. https://t.co/7dQktJJYVm pic.twitter.com/J2yG1KbFsJ

Bob Mueller (who is a much different man than people think) and his out of control band of Angry Democrats, don’t want the truth, they only want lies. The truth is very bad for their mission!

Hey @TwitterSupport, does witness tampering violate terms of use?
