Subscribed and welcome back! I had a question (specifically wanted to ask you) regarding the 18 U.S. Code §§ 1512 (c)(2),2. When I looked it up here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1512, it says - "Whoever corruptly otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,

shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both." Do I have this correct?
