A Trump employee who monitored security cameras at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate abruptly retracted his earlier grand jury testimony and implicated Trump and others in obstruction of justice just after switching from an attorney paid for by a Trump political action committee to a lawyer from the federal defender’s office in Washington, prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday.
The aide — described as “Trump Employee 4” in public court filings but identified elsewhere as Yuscil Taveras — held the title of director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago. He initially testified to a grand jury in Washington, D.C., that he was unaware of any effort to erase the videos,

Kyle and Josh, why did Trump witness #4 change lawyers suddenly? Your article doesn’t say.

Funny how people flip when you have the power to destroy their lives and family.
The DoJ and FBI have merged into the Dims’ own and reconstituted KKK.

So, either way he's now a liar and his testimony is untrustworthy.
I wonder what he was threatened with to change his story.

He’s a liar either way, untrustworthy. That doesn’t make a difference with this regime. We are truly a corrupt nation under this regime. History books may trace it back to the Clinton’s - the open corruption. There’s alway been corruption but they had the grace to hide it. Now it’s open and rampant.

When I first read the headline, was hoping it was the other way and the witness testimony was supporting Trump. No such luck. It's called racketeering which means law enforcement and the judicial can do whatever they please. End result: Influencing, manipulation, and coercion. Trump can't intimidate anyone, but that doesn't mean the same regarding our government. We are witnessing our government in all its ugliness. Can't call it a government anymore. It's a tyranny.

And the cross examination goes something like this:
Attorney: "So, you admitted you lied in your previous testimony."
Taveras: "Yes, I did."
Attorney: "And now you are telling the truth."
Taveras: "Yes, I am."
Attorney:"Hmm. Are you sure you didn't tell the truth the first time and are lying now? Once you start lying it gets so hard to keep the lies and the truth straight, doesn't it? So tell me again WHICH time you were lying? I'm have trouble keeping your lies straight, too."

I think this is indisputable, convincing evidence of what's generally called 'witness tampering'
by the prosecution.
The feds make the Mafia look like pikers.

Lemme guess: The lying snitch's new attorney is a well-connected ally of Joe Biden and other Democrat interests.

Like a page out of the script of a movie about corrupt criminal people from the Old World county of Sicily, the leaning on people to manipulate them again comes to the fore.
Our own government has a long history of manipulation of those who are made to make statements under pressure to further a story or agenda.
Case in point: the Doctors in Trauma Room One at Parkland Hospital in Dallas on 11.22.63 to disavow their own statements about and entry wound in the throat and large wounds behind the right ear of President Kennedy. Over 30 person saw this with their own eyes....

Their whole point in going after the 'little people' who ever worked with, for, or even merely voted for Trump is to 'turn' people who don't have the resources of Trump to fight back, nor actually enjoy a fight like Trump does: People who just want to be left alone: Faced with having their family's entire life style (or even actual lives) destroyed, they will say whatever the Deep State thugs want them to say.
