Trump Twitter attack on impeachment witness seen by Democrats as intimidation

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump launched a Twitter attack on a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine on Friday while she was testifying to an impeachment hearing in Congress, in an extraordinary moment that Democrats said amounted to witness intimidation.

As Yovanovitch testified, Trump fired off his criticism on Twitter, a move Democrats labeled “real-time” witness intimidation. Schiff replied: “Well, I want to let you know, ambassador, that some of us here take witness intimidation very, very seriously.”Afterward, Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell, a member of the committee, told reporters the Trump attack could be considered for a separate article of impeachment against Trump for obstruction of justice.“It’s evidence of more obstruction: intimidating, tampering with the witness’s testimony.

“The tweet was not witness intimidation, it was simply the president’s opinion, which he is entitled to,” White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said. The main focus of the impeachment inquiry is a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who was elected in May, to open the investigations.

Listening to MSNBC while House is on 5 minute break. “Whoops, looks like ‘clean up in aisle 5’ for the Republicans.” When they’ve discovered they couldn’t shake Yavanovitch, they change direction and whine about the Whistleblower. Ha ha

The sole objective of Republicans in the hearings is obstruction and intimidation along with defending Trump.

Isn't it customary to allow the minority to ask questions as well?

How sad that Gym Jordan is so utterly passionate to be heard now and yet, as we all know, he plugged his ears to the suffering of and pleas for help from innocent college students, and he remained silent:

Schiff--not making any pretense of due process or justice. This does not play well among fair-minded Americans wanting to know the truth.

Does he not own a coat? They have them on sale at Gap Kids.
