As Lachlan Markay points out, this is a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 201 – Bribery of public officials and witnesses (click to enlarge):
So far she hasn’t even deleted these tweets, but I expect she will. We’ll replace them with screenshots once that happens.

Excited for all of you who are consumed with tax reform this morning, but right now Rosie O’Donnell is a fugitive from the law. Prioritize.

WAKE TRUMP UP AND SHOW HIM THE ROSIE TWEET

If Trump orders Sessions to investigate Rosie, he will be carved into Rushmore by Friday.

You’re already a felon, Rosie. Don’t be a homophobic sexual harasser too. https://t.co/U4cEM8Hhg0

This is an offer to pay a bribe. It is a federal crime. Prosecute her. https://t.co/4D44KL1ZLo

Trump’s Christmas gift to America should be tweeting at Rosie that she’s under arrest for attempted bribery https://t.co/gQ93J6Zcv0
