Examples of tampering in a Sentence

  1. Dickson County Sheriff Jeff Bledsoe:

    I’m not aware of any additional health risks with vapor cigarettes, we looked at the devices inside them and to see if there was anything that could be used for some kind of malicious purposes. Once we figured out they were safe to have and couldn’t be fashioned into a weapon, we put parameters in place that these products have to be returned, with no tampering at all, in order to receive another one.

  2. President Obama:

    Russia trying to influence or elections dates back to the Soviet Union, what they did here, hacking some emails and releasing them, is not a particularly fancy brand of espionage or propaganda. We were, frankly, more concerned in the run-up to the election to the possibilities of vote tampering, which we did not see evidence of and were confident that we could guard against. In the same interview, President Obama took the Russian hacking idea even further by alleging that Donald Trump in any way has direct ties to Russia.

  3. Mark Geragos:

    Besides it being ghoulish behavior...it's tampering with evidence, obviously.

  4. Blue Bell:

    While I understand the frustration with the badly flawed Russia-collusion investigation, in my view, commuting Roger Stone sentence is a mistake, roger Stone was duly convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstructing a congressional investigation conducted by a Republican-led committee.
