A new report shows witnesses who testify at Donald Trump’s criminal trials are receiving some very nice financial perks.

Donald Trump’s campaign and the Trump Organization paid off nine witnesses called to testify in criminal cases against Trump, an explosive new report from ProPublica reveals. Witnesses who testified in defense of Trump for his numerous criminal cases received massive raises, new jobs, cushy severance packages, and more, all conveniently coinciding with being called to testify or after providing testimony favorable to Trump—and the excuses from Team Trump couldn’t be weaker.

Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, told ProPublica witness tampering is often difficult to prove because the gimmick is often not done explicitly. But the trend could assist prosecutors in their efforts to call into question the credibility of witnesses testifying in Trump’s defense for his innumerable legal battles.

    or the whole case most likely dismissed because the bar of proof is so high. we CANNOT depend on the justice system people. we have to make justice ourselves. these slimy bastards are getting bolder and bolder. are you going to watch it happen and do nothing? you WILL reap the consequences.
