Adam Serwer: Propublica has evidence Trump is bribing witnesses. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Propublica has evidence Trump is bribing witnesses. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Multiple Trump Witnesses Have Received Significant Financial Benefits From His Businesses, Campaignwww.propublica.org Witnesses in the various criminal cases against the former president have gotten pay raises, new jobs and more. If any benefits were intended to influence testimony, that could be a crime.

He would never! (Trump never pays people working for him)

This is honestly the best argument for this being fake (it’s not fake)

Actually I think bribery is probably the *only* way to get him to pay someone for their services

Because he needs the money for bribing, apparently

I hate how unsurprising this is

This is the only acceptable cynical take.

Can he, seriously, go to jail? Ever? Cause I keep hearing that we’re a “nation of laws” and then, as he breaks all of them, there’s always a reason to NOT lock him sorry ass up.

They're being paid with shares in Trump Media. Seems like that might have the opposite effect.

Sounds very Trump like.

Yeah but it’s just locker room bribing.

The trial had testimony that he was bribing polling companies too

Wonder what he’s paying Aileen Cannon?

The promise of a Supreme Court appointment.

Zero surprise, max disgust. Man I wish our slow-moving system would treat him with even 1/100 the seriousness and speed he deserves.

My favorite part of this article is where his campaign manager says she hired her nepo baby daughter and in the next paragraph her nepo baby daughter says her mother had nothing to do with her getting the job

Bet that exact situation is in nepo baby’s nda.

Oh yeah, that's the good shit

I'm sure they're quaking at the prospect of Trump losing another defamation lawsuit.

I hate hate hate that I read this and was just like "oh of course he is"

IANAL, but I reckon "barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement" does suggest that claimining there is no connection between a "$2 million severance package" and the (now former) employee's status as a witness may prove a hard sell.

How many defamation safe ways can you say “we all know he’s corrupt as hell and is absolutely doing this”…

its so funny that the gop talking point is that trump is being unfairly targeted when this dude literally cannot exist-in-this-world without committing crimes that everyday americans would already be in jail for.

(probably also both)

I long for the day we no longer have to read about this man in headlines.

Unless it's in the obituaries. I could read that every day.

jfc

It's the mafia, isn't it. But he's shit at it.

📌

DOJ? *crickets*

Wouldn’t want to look too political!

Just like the mob boss he is.

I'm sure this will be all over the Nightly News programs tonight. * Just Kidding -- they'll lead with Hunter's trial.

Like everything Trump does, this is yet another corrupt pattern across multiple entities, using intermediaries executing on his behalf. Paired with (his) witness intimidation, it’s astounding in magnitude and shows his utter contempt for the law.

Russian Mobsters get 💩done🤷‍♀️especially when judges are corrupt and laws are manipulated. What to do🤷‍♀️

Vote like our lives depend on it cause they do.

I’m shocked, shocked, I say …!

If we keep prosecuting political figures like this, pretty soon criminals will be unable to get criminal representation in government. Can we even call that Democracy? 🤣 "Yes we can."

No! /s

No surprise there.

Such a good article, I’m glad you boosted it.

I bet any that possible trial will be placed after the election.

📌

"Bribing witnesses" is such an ugly term. Can we go with "encouraging selective memory" in the name of civility?

Remembering alternative facts? 😝

Lol

Steven Chueng and Trump can both fuck off ASAP. No one will miss them.

There’s just no end to Trump’s corruption, is there? Gawd help us ALL if this demented bastard weasels his way back into power.

Also, hate to say it, but: I was thinking Trump’s incentives now line up to full lawlessly, at least with anything election or court-related. 34 or 68 or 136 counts is same to him.
