The headline literally says “told him not to testify”, not “threatens him to not testify”? Not sure what you’re referring to? What “stretch” are you pointing at?

I think he's just saying the headline is (potentially maliciously) ambiguous. I certainly assumed "told not to testify [or else]" when I read it.

yes, exactly what I was thinking

So you're inferring something from a headline.

Any chance the target of these statements might infer the same?

That's how wannabe mob bosses work.

well, he didn't actually "tell" him not to testfiy. "He shouldn't" isn't the same as "don't"

Fair enough, I can see the gap. It didn’t click for me this morning, apologies.
