He also should have his law license lifted. He was suborning perjury.

(21,847 posts)3. Not sure it was just a misdemeanor
Under Colorado law, perjury occurs when a person fabricates or states false information while under oath. It doesn't necessarily have to occur in a court of law. Perjury offenses range from a Class 4 Felony to a Class 1 Petty Offense, depending on the circumstances of the act.
I guess it depends on the document that Buck was trying to get the guy to sign. False certification of election results sounds pretty serious to me.

(21,714 posts)4. Somewhere in the tape, the guy said he had to talk to a lawyer to see if he could be charged with
a misdemeanor for certifying something that wasn't true
