How many times has Trump tampered with witnesses and obstructed justice?

His witness tampering yesterday in real time was not the first time he has tampered with witnesses. He hinted at a pardon for Michael Cohen, until Cohen turned on him. Then, he threatened his father-in-law and his business ventures.

Similarly with Paul Manafort, from the beginning, he was hinting at a pardon for him, and let everyone know how terrible he was being treated by the Special Counsel. He was receiving info from Manafort, even while he was in prison.

Several times he attempted to obstruct the Mueller investigation with threats and outright obstrution. He tried to fire the Special Counsel. This was after he fired the FBI Director and destroyed the reputations of many in the Justice Dept in the process.

This has been a pattern with Mr Trump since Day one. It did not begin with a phone call to Ukraine.

too as an additional count to add to impeachment charges. Teach him the value of interfering w/ the rule of law, and justice. Perhaps one day he'll understand the value of these things, but I doubt it. He views himself as above the law obviously and feels like he can do no wrong.
