Minutes later [after Trump's tweets], Rep. Adam Schiff, who is heading the probe, read portions of Trump’s tweets and asked the career diplomat to respond.
“I mean, I, I don’t think I have such powers, not in Mogadishu and Somalia and not in other places. I actually think that where I’ve served over the years, I and others have demonstrably made things better, you know, for the US as well as for the countries that I’ve served in,” Yovanovitch said.
“Ukraine, for example, where there are huge challenges including, you know, on the issue that we’re discussing today of corruption, huge challenges, but they have made a lot of progress since 2014, including in the years that I was there and I think in part, I mean the Ukrainian people get the most credit for that, but a part of that credit goes to the United states and to me as the ambassador.”
Schiff then asked her what effect the live tweets were having on her.
“It’s very intimidating. I mean, I can’t speak to what the president is trying to do, but I think the effect is trying to be intimidating,” she replied."
How can this be "witness intimidation" when Trump sent the tweets while Yovanovitch was on witness stand in the process of testifying? She would not have known about the tweets until after she testified if not for Schiffhead reading the tweets to her as part of his Q & A. Seems to me that the only person guilty of witness intimidation is Schiffhead.
Schiff is grasping at straws with Trump’s tweet. Trump can say whatever he wants. It is not an impeachable offense to tweet.
You forgot that Trump defending himself is a crime... coincidentally the first crime they've found in 3 years of perpetual investigation.
Just ask that bloated POS Brett Baier.
