I don't know, witness intimidation is pretty damn big. And a pretty damn big admission of guilt.
The thing is, he wouldn't do it openly. He'd pass the names to an assistant who would make some anonymous posts online and let it go from there. Sure, maybe that can be proven in another trial, but that's too far away to help the witnesses or to avoid slowing this case
You're talking about the guy who just says whatever the hell is on his mind at the time.
He is too stupid to keep his mouth shut. The problem is the courts are too cowardly to enforce their own gag orders.
"Please stop tweeting about the clerks and family members of the court." [He immediately tweets about the clerks and family members.] "Oh, ok, please have a 10 day extension and we'll give you a far lesser bond."
Once you put it like that, it's just laughable how much they've pampered this asshole. And he still. Fucking. Complains.
The entire right wing and Christian movements in the US seems to be based on nothing on persecution syndrome. It's just moaning about how oppressed they are day in an day out.
...where have you been for the past 7 years plus change?
He does MOST of his crimes openly and the rest he publicly brags about later!
There's literally NO way he'd ever try to make his witness tampering discreet. That would be like expecting Guy Fieri to cook without ketchup 😛
