If youre about to testify about the Mafia, and goodfella shows up outside your house and says nice family there, itd be a shame if anything happened to them, thatd be witness tampering.
If you were about to testify about you boss, and your boss took you to the racquetball club and gave you a big speech about loyalty before dangling a promotion in front of you, thatd be witness tampering.
The reason why both of those conversations would happen in private is because the mafioso and the shady boss know that there are laws against witness tampering and theyre not trying to catch an obstruction of justice charge while intimidating you.
We live in a world where the President of the United States violates these laws against witness tampering, and he violates them in public from the Oval Office (or wherever Trump accesses Twitter). NOBODY has sufficiently explained to me why he faces no consequences for activity that would get any thug on the street thrown in jail.

tried to influence the Court of Public Opinion when ever it involved him. Always got away with it,hoping this time it burns his fat ass.

As our democracy erodes and they lose rights and be subject to predators, theyll follow him off the cliff and still be defending him when it is obvious he betrayed our country.
