Making Robert Mueller's job all the more easy, incompetent mob boss Donald "Rump" Trump is witness tampering with one of his capos:
“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!”— Donald J.

We have some legal opinions about that tweet:
File under “18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512” https://t.co/e4ZGVn1kJi— George Conway (@gtconway3d) December 3, 2018
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— Neal Katyal (@neal_katyal) December 3, 2018
Here's the link to 18 U.S. Code § 1503 and to 18 U.S. Code § 1512 in case you want to quote the law to your crazy red hat relative.
