NPR said Cohen is ready to testify on Trump/Russia Collusion ,LOL
Something that I have wondered about for some time is whether Mueller and his crew have graduated from “tough prosecution” to subornation of perjury. Mueller has obviously offered Cohen significant benefit if he manufactures testimony against Trump and threatened draconian penalties if he refrains from false testimony. In the Manafort case, it seems that his real offense is refusing to provide false testimony to Mueller against Trump.
I know that there attorneys here on Free Republic. Can you tell the rest of us what limits (if any) are placed on prosecutor behavior to prevent their suborning perjury.
If a defense attorney engaged in similar hardball tactics, wouldn’t they be charged with witness tampering or a more serious charge?
Cohen and Manafort are defendants in the current trials, but they are being transparently “recruited” as prosecution witnesses against Trump in the investigation.
