minus-squaredragonist@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoThe headline literally says “told him not to testify”, not “threatens him to not testify”? Not sure what you’re referring to? What “stretch” are you pointing at?
minus-squareRealtrain@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI think he’s just saying the headline is (potentially maliciously) ambiguous. I certainly assumed “told not to testify [or else]” when I read it.
minus-squareflipht@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSo you’re inferring something from a headline. Any chance the target of these statements might infer the same? That’s how wannabe mob bosses work.
