Donald Trump tweets incessantly ….
But?
Tweets that cause witnesses to come under attack are NOT what is appropriate ….
Actually?
For anyone besides a American President?
It would get ya in legal trouble….
Even Fox talking heads know this…
I wouldn’t think Trump is gonna stop doing it though….
Two of the top anchors at Fox News said that President Trump’s Friday tweets attacking ex-ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch raised the possibility of an additional article of impeachment being added against Trump for witness tampering.
Bret Baier, Fox’s chief political anchor, said Trump’s tweets “enabled” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who is leading the impeachment inquiry, to “characterize that tweet as intimidating the witness or tampering with the witness, which is a crime.”
“Adding, essentially, an article of impeachment real time as this hearing is going on,” Baier said.
Chris Wallace, the anchor of Fox’s flagship Sunday show, agreed with Baier, noting the attack “played out in real time.”
“It does raise the possibility of witness intimidation and witness tampering as a new charge here,” Wallace said.
“If you are not moved by the testimony of Marie Yovanovitch today, you don’t have a pulse,” Wallace said.
I just had to go bring something to someone in a different department, and he had the impeachment proceeding playing on his phone or some other device, and earphones in so I couldn’t even get his attention.
At least someone is watching though!
I didn’t think of yelling, “POINT OF ORDER!”
It won’t matter.
The Republicans will defend him along the following lines:
“He didn’t mean it.”
“He had no intent to tamper with a witness.”
He doesn’t even know what tampering with a witnesss is.”
“When a President does it that means it can’t be illegal.”
Take your pick!
