Witness tampering should not be tolerated!

Another story that's flying under the radar is that of Nathan DeBruin.

If you watched the Rittenhouse trial you'd know who he is. He's a photographer who actually served as a witness for the prosecution (one of the many who made the defense's case).

Thomas Binger, the prosecutor, very clearly and actively tried to get DeBruin to lie on the stand in order to bolster the prosecution's false narrative; but, since then, DeBruin has gone on record to say that Binger tried to get him to change his statement before trial.

Binger allegedly showed DeBruin an image of Joshua Ziminski, the man who fired the first shot in the altercation, and asked DeBruin if he recognized the man in the photo. When DeBruin said that he didn't recognize the man, Binger allegedly told him that it was Ziminski and pushed DeBruin to alter his statement to include Ziminski.

This may seem innocuous to some; but, this is tampering with a witness whose testimony could have sent a person to prison for life.

We shouldn't tolerate this and we have been tolerating this for centuries.
