My short text convo with
@mattgaetz
just now:

Me: Congressman, Any chance you have a few minutes to discuss what you implied with your tweet to Michael Cohen? Perhaps a preview?

Gaetz: Watch tomorrow.

Me: Will do -- anything I should be prepared for?

Gaetz: Fireworks

This could very well constitute obstruction of Justice. Gaetz should lawyer up.

Witness tampering is a crime, and he ain't POTUS.

If you think telling someone who's about to testify in front of a House committee that his own affairs and misconduct will be discussed at length is witness tampering you need to seek help.

There's a statute he might wish to consult: 18 USC 1512(b):

This may be the most idiotic post in the thread. Cohen's credibility is relevant and Gaetz has every right to question him about it. By law, that isn't obstructing justice. That he's telegraphing it with 24 hours notice is actually a benefit to Cohen.

There's a whole bunch of obstruction statutes and if you're threatening to reveal embarrassing information to deter a witness from testifying before Congress, I think he needs advice about whether he violated one or more of them.

You'd have to be the densest person in the world if you don't believe that Gaetz is trying to intimidate Cohen

You haven't seen the Godfather or the Sapranos have you? Or did you think that the Mob Bosses represented were the nice guys?

at you thinking any of this would actually be a revelation to Cohen’s wife. I feel fairly confident she knows she’s married to a scumbag.

Gaetz's own statements indicate that he is eager to discuss Cohen's own personal failures. How then is he acting with the intent to hinder, delay or prevent the testimony?

The better bet is that he will hire a lawyer.

Trump's DoJ will try to protect him, but he knows he's in trouble.
