Smells like witness tampering to me.
By the way, for any of you wondering why the Mueller investigation is taking longer than you'd like, it's probably because Trump and his associates keep committing new crimes.
That smells like a fishing expedition. Independent prosecutors should be investigating a single crime or incident.
I don’t know if a President complimenting a witness for not testifying crosses the legal line but I can’t imagine any of his lawyers thought that tweet was a good idea. It at least skirts the line.

Trump has been pardon dangling and witness tampering for a while now.
Trying to figure out his play.
- witness tampering, obstruction, and perjury he feels he can beat in the Senate if he's not fingered on anything else
- if these guys testify to his being part of a conspiracy, he figures he can't beat it in the Senate.
Or he's just clueless.
Or he's competing with Nixon and wants to show him how real Republicans do it.
Trump refused to answer questions for a long, long time, which contributed to the slow down. Now that Trump finally submitted his answers, look at how fast the dominoes are falling.
I would go with the notion of Trump being clueless. I hope the GOP powers that be keep track of Trump's re-electability and pressure him not to run if it gets too bad.
Is that why you actually take pride in ignoring the absolute corruption of someone you consider to be on your "side"?
I mean, who cares if the President is an open criminal, just as long as flippantly brushing it off might annoy a liberal, right?

Be careful what you wish for, impeachment proceedings take on a life of their own. Time to impeach Trump is running out. What if there is a Republican politically stronger than Trump on the ballot in 2020?
Seeing as three people who know what they're talking about based on training and experience, I really don't see any reason to suppose that they are wrong and this merely skirts a line. I'd say that what they say stands unless someone here can dig up a controlling appellate decision that lines up on all four corners with this situation saying otherwise..
You don't know if the President, who has pardoning powers, encouraging a witness to not cooperate with law enforcement crosses a legal line?
At least three legal professionals are not so uncertain.
I think a case can be made, but is there any precedent for charging a person for publicly complimenting a witness for not cooperating? It may not be direct enough. Do I personally think Trump is trying to sway a witness? Absolutely. But that is a long way away from being able to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. But give it time, Trump may do something to make it easier.

I do not use the word criminal as flipply as you. I require solid evidence countered by the strongest defence…under those conditions. Not some legal technically but real crimes with real evidence that have not been adquently explained by the persons defence….Is that why you actually take pride in ignoring the absolute corruption of someone you consider to be on your "side"?

Not if he is guilty of a real crime. I don't mean plea deal either I mean convinced in a court of law on established grounds with a proper defence or the equivalent there of…Your hero Roger Stone is in the cross hairs of Mueller...His tough talk won't save him...Will you cry when he is indicted?
I am curious which administration used FISA courts and NSA terrorist Inquiries for opposition research during a campaign….So is corruption which Trump and Co are high on right now.
Unfortunately Trump and his associates are complicating that goal by committing more than a single crime (see OP).
