8. Subornation of perjury

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subornation_of_perjury

In American law, Scots law, and under the laws of some English-speaking Commonwealth nations, subornation of perjury is the crime of persuading a person to commit perjury, which is the swearing of a false oath to tell the truth in a legal proceeding, whether spoken or written.

U.S. Law
Edit

In American federal law, Title 18 U.S.C. § 1622 provides:

Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

The term subornation of perjury further describes the circumstance wherein an attorney at law causes a client to lie under oath or, allows another party to lie under oath.[1][2]

In California law, per the state bar code,[3] the subornation of perjury constitutes an act of "moral turpitude" on the part of the attorney, and thus, is cause for his or her disbarment, or for the suspension of his or her license to practice law.[4]

15. Does anyone know if the SDNY can share documents with the House committee?

I assumed the SDNY scanned what they collected and now have electronic versions of the documents. I don't understand this digging by Cohen and the suitcases of documents. This is pretty old school and inefficient.
