    Agree 100% but is it witness tampering if Meadows is also charged in the same case?

      Trump is telegraphing to Meadows that Meadows should not flip. He is acting to prevent Meadows from becoming a witness against him. That's tampering.

        At some point Meadows will get a death threat from some idiot that explicitly links it to Trump's remarks. The question is if that is brought forward or kept under wraps. If they arrest that person and charge them they would probably happily yell "I did what Trump said to do and I'd do it again" in court. That might lead to consequences for Trump but it's a lot to chain together and nothing moves quickly here.

        Right, I was just wondering if there was a legal term (and penalty) for intimidation of indicted co-conspirator
