Maybe I am an idiot? Please help me understand. The January 6th Committee said that Trump contacted a witness. And this is a violation. We have not been told who this witness is so how was Trump supposed to know they were a witness that was going to testify? What am I missing? I do not want to take sides here I just want to understand. THANKS!
Well, they just aren’t announcing which witness it was, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an expected witness. Like the Pat Cipollone guy who they had all the video from Tuesday, he had his testimony (not in front of the live broadcast) last week, and I remembered hearing just a couple days after that Cassidy Hutchinson gal testified that Cipollone had then agreed to come in. So there were at least a couple days where, say, Cipollone could’ve been contacted by Trump, and if he had, it might’ve been reported, and if there had been a hearing in between, they could’ve publicly referenced that it happened but not said Cipollone by name. That’s all last week’s stuff, I’m just illustrating an example. But consistent with that example, I’m pretty sure I heard Steve Bannon is coming in to testify, and I wouldn’t surprise me if Trump had tried to call him, and Bannon is just under so much legal pressure he’s just not fucking around, and had to report it. So there is an announced upcoming witness who it could be, or maybe someone else I just didn’t hear announced, but they don’t want to name the name for whatever reason.

Contacting a witness to a political hearing is not a crime. Trump could even have paid them to not show up and it would have been legitimate.
Theses people have no legal authority to compel anyone to help them in their political campaign.
Their media friends are pretending like this is some kind of investigation but its nothing more than a political show. They are not even attempting a serous investigation the nature of their slanderous questions and assumptions kind of prove that.
It’s safe to assume that Trump was aware of who was around him on Jan. 6th, so I don’t imagine it’s too difficult to figure out who may be called to testify.
Plus, nothing is secret in Washington. I’m sure the list is potential witnesses isn’t impossible to get ahold of for those who are keen to see it.

You are kidding right? Trump knows who is being called. WTF? And he only contacted this person personally because he is paranoid. He doesn't feel he can trust anyone since so many aides, assistances, staffers, lawyers, etc. have testified against him. Before earlier in the hearings, he would just have other staff contact the people testifying.
But this is nothing new. He did it to Michael Cohen, Rick Gates, and many other times during the Mueller probe.
So stop pretending that just because you don't know the witness list, that trump doesn't have turncoats in Congress who know who the January 6th commission is calling.
It may be a violation, we’ll see. Witness tampering is not hard to understand.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/9P8DOduWPxUYou can't imagine Trump calling around everyone who might have dirt on him about Jan 6th? There can't be that many who haven't already testified, or whose names have come up recently in connection to it. Maybe the guys who were in the car with him?
He should be avoiding contact with anyone who might be called to testify, just like he should have been avoiding contact with election officials in 2020.
It's🥳all Democrats nonsense to get rid of trump due to they know they can't beat him
I don’t understand either
The whole thing is all such a sham.
Just trust them, mkay?
