Making the mistake of witness tampering is going to bite him in the ass come time for his trial. He's been given a bit of leniency and he utilized his house arrest to violate the law. In a way that shows consciousness of guilt, no less.
edit: typo
Well, it could just mean he is scared. I'd be terrified of going in front of a jury and letting them be the deciders of my fate. Juries are and picked based on, can this person be manipulated. Not saying what he did was right.
Just a small note on your tags here: you need to separate them with a comma for them to be different tags. Right now they are all one giant, five-word tag. That seems unintended.
Thanks - I'm still figuring out this Tildes thing!
Does this mean that his $10m bail is forfeit as well?
Trump continues to dangle pardons in front of those who are going to jail for crimes during his campaign. It's crazy how Mafia-like it is: "do your time and we'll take care of you but you have to stay quiet!"
Trump's response:
Lock him up...lock him up ;)
