11. you're right, it's not witness tampering
I know more about this now.

The gov't didn't "work over their own (expert) witness", they just ignored his recommendations for the amount of money it would take to
do the social programs that were part of the settlement.

It doesn't really hurt the govt's case - it may in fact help it, since the interference from the top end of the DOJ (and we know where that's coming from) is so obvious.

The judge was highly suspicious of why the Justice Dept. would do this, and certainly made it known that she suspected pressure from outside influences on the Justice Dept.



The judge has the ability to ignore the DOJ recommendations and from what I understand has, so far, been an untainted arbiter of the case.
We'll know better 6 months from now.
