On Monday morning, President Donald Trump unleashed a string of angry tweets about the Mueller investigation.

“Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time.” You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term? He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself, and get..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2018

....his wife and father-in-law (who has the money?) off Scott Free. He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2018

“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!” — Donald J.

Bob Mueller (who is a much different man than people think) and his out of control band of Angry Democrats, don’t want the truth, they only want lies. The truth is very bad for their mission! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2018

The tweets praising Roger Stone have provoked much commentary on Twitter, because the president’s words made him sound like a gangster laying out the code of silence.

The president of the United States is praising those who refuse to cooperate with law enforcement as people with "guts." Just another day in 2018. https://t.co/yUtju5AmKa — Jason Le Miere (@JasonLeMiere) December 3, 2018

One terse but noteworthy comment came from Republican lawyer George Conway, husband of White House advisor Kellyanne Conway:

The section of the law Conway is alluding to deals with tampering with a witness, victim, or informant.
