A man named Alexander Hamilton faces prison time after secretly recording himself during federal grand jury proceedings saying 'I'm about to lie'

• A Washington, DC, man pleaded guilty in federal court to recording grand jury proceedings.
• Alexander Hamilton, 28, broadcasted live witness testimony to his Instagram.
• When taking an oath of secrecy, he recorded himself saying "I'm about to lie."

A Washington, DC, man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to charges of obstruction of justice and contempt after he secretly recorded and posted footage of federal grand jury proceedings onto social media.

According to a recent press release from the Department of Justice, Alexander Hamilton, 28, made video recordings of witness testimony from at least 18 people in connection to at least 14 separate grand jury investigations.

Court filings show that Hamilton broadcasted some of the testimony live to his more than 10,000 followers on Instagram while also sending recordings directly to friends and associates over text or messenger apps. He later admitted to using one of his two cell phones to commit the crime, conceding he improperly held onto them despite being required to place them into a secure locker before the grand jury proceedings.

Ok, got that out of my system.

Hope they lock his smarmy ass away long enough for him to get a complete legal education.

Could be one of the reasons I wound up with a D in junior high school science. Giggling.
