Noted for the Record

Amazing that Trump is undermining US diplomacy worldwide in real time via Twitter, as Amb Jovanovitch testifies.

"The state department wouldn't issue a statement of support for you against false allegations because they were concerned about a tweet from the president?"

This is gut wrenching.

Schiff chimes in w/fresh POTUS tweet trashing Yovanovitch.

I am ready for this nightmare to end

Marie Yovanovitch stresses the fear that Trump would use his twitter feed to undermine her. Trump then--during the hearing--proves her right by attacking her on Twitter....

Schiff on Trump attacking witnesses as they testify before impeachment investigators: "I want to let you know, ambassador, that some of us here take witness intimidation very, very seriously." pic.twitter.com/JLT9yN57cc

Trump tweeted about the testimony of Ambassador Yovanovich. He then posted two tweets containing the video of Devin Nunes opening statement, followed by three tweets containing the entirety of the transcript read by Nunes into the Congressional Record.

His Twitter feed then went silent, not coincidentally after Chairman Schiff read his tweet to the witness and allowed her to respond.

I'd like to thank Trump for validating her testimony completely.

Remember, he's not a genius. There is no strategy. There is no multidimensional chess game.

He's an undisciplined, day trading, con man ruled by his impulses.

He is also a bully. And, like all bullies, a coward.
