Trump Could Be Facing 20 Years In Prison For Witness Tampering

Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman pointed out that Trump’s efforts to intimidate Michael Cohen into not testifying are a felony that carries a 20-year prison sentence.

After Trump threatened Michael Cohen’s family with damaging information, Akerman said on MSNBC, “You have another series of campaign contribution violations that most likely were not reported as they should be. In addition to that, you have Donald Trump involved in the campaign violations just as he was in the payments to the two women and also involved in trying to intimidate a witness. Which is witness tampering. It is a 20-year felony under the criminal code.

Trump is desperate to hang on to the presidency because it could be the only thing keeping him from spending the rest of his life inside of a prison cell. - PoliticusUSA

Like they had with Gray Davis and Dennis Kucinich. Because of Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, and now this thing with the online polling, the public was denied information. Plus, he’s at war with the citizens of America.

He has no idea what it takes to be a president. Nor does he know his boundaries.
