    Here's that tweet:

    "Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors."

    So President Trump did this while Yovanovitch was testifying. Here are various things this brings up:

    1. Is this the stupidest thing a President has ever done? This is pretty much straight up intimidation.
    2. Is this the most despicable thing a President has ever done? What did Yovanovitch do to deserve this? Do her job? If Trump wanted her gone, why not just replace her without going on a personal attack? He could have done that.
    3. Was Yovanovitch personally responsible for failure in Somalia? (anyone who actually tries to say that Yovanovitch had any culpability in Somalia is a certified moron)
    4. Is Yovanovitch just an evil person? I listened to the testimony. Didn't seem like it. She didn't seem to have anything against President Trump. She just seemed mystified why, after serving her country for years, she was being dumped on.

      Trump is corrupt, a sociopath, and dumb as a rock due to his narcissism, which prevents him from recognizing his own folly.

      He will be gone soon,one way or another.

          I am not sure. The Russians will interfere in our election on Trump's behalf, and given his unwillingness to do his job and address the issue, it could be worse this time.

            Yes, it could be worse this time, especially since the Republicans are all deaf, dumb and blind boys (and girls) when it comes to their hero. I believe thinking people all have to be worried about this.

          Only because large companies are buying back their own stock.

          They are using cash they have repatriated from overseas because of the 2018 tax law. Once those funds wind down, the market is is trouble.

          The economy also is slowing quickly. At the current rate of decline, the economy will enter a recession next summer -- which is the exact timing experts predicted a year ago when the tax law passed.

            I would expect the same. The tax breaks fueled the buybacks as corporations were already holding record amounts of cash reserves. The markets may be up but now, but things will wind down. In the long-term, the markets appreciate stability and predictability as opposed to white-knuckle Twittercoaster rides.

      "(b)Whoever knowingly uses intimidation, threatens, or corruptly persuades another person, or attempts to do so, or engages in misleading conduct toward another person, with intent to —

      (1) influence, delay, or prevent the testimony of any person in an official proceeding;

      (2) cause or induce any person to—

      (A) withhold testimony, or withhold a record, document, or other object, from an official proceeding;

      (B) alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal an object with intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding;

      (C) evade legal process summoning that person to appear as a witness, or to produce a record, document, or other object, in an official proceeding; or

      Definition of an "official proceeding" under this statute:

      "(1) the term “official proceeding” means— (A) a proceeding before a judge or court of the United States, a United States magistrate judge, a bankruptcy judge, a judge of the United States Tax Court, a special trial judge of the Tax Court, a judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims, or a Federal grand jury; (B) a proceeding before the Congress; (C) a proceeding before a Federal Government agency which is authorized by law; or (D) a proceeding involving the business of insurance whose activities affect interstate commerce before any insurance regulatory official or agency or any agent or examiner appointed by such official or agency to examine the affairs of any person engaged in the business of insurance whose activities affect interstate commerce;" (my emphasis)

        Hey Don,

        You know their defense, right?

        It's not intimidation if they testified because they obviously weren't intimidated or else they wouldn't have testified.

        1. Don W profile image82
          Don Wposted 4 years agoin reply to this

          In that case I would draw their attention to the highlighted sections:

          (b)Whoever knowingly uses intimidation, threatens, or corruptly persuades another person, or attempts to do so, or engages in misleading conduct toward another person, with intent to

          (1) influence, delay, or prevent the testimony of any person in an official proceeding;

          (2) cause or induce any person to—

          (A) withhold testimony, or withhold a record, document, or other object, from an official proceeding;

          (B) alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal an object with intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding;

          (C) evade legal process summoning that person to appear as a witness, or to produce a record, document, or other object, in an official proceeding; or

          (D) be absent from an official proceeding to which such person has been summoned by legal process...

          ...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both".

          C and D may be relevant to Trump's blanket ban on White House officials providing testimony to the inquiry despite being subpoenaed. Arguably some of those who have refused can legitimately claim executive privilege (though I'd suggest that privilege allows them not to answer specific questions rather than not attend at all) but I think a blanket ban, without knowing what questions will be asked, is on shaky legal ground.

          If someone with no valid legal reason does not attend a hearing because of Trump, could it be argued that he has corruptly persuaded another person to be "absent from an official proceeding to which they have been summoned by legal process". Obviously that could only be determined by a court of law, but I don't think it's an unreasonable argument.

            I think you may want to consider these rules you've listed apply to a federal trial.  This is an impeachment inquiry.  Two very different things.  According to the United States Constitution, the trial takes place in the Senate.

              Section 1512 of Title 18 applies to an "official proceeding".
              https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1512

              An "official proceeding" is defined within the statute as (inter alia) "(B) a proceeding before the Congress;"
              https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions … ction:1512

              A Congressional hearing constitutes a "proceeding before the Congress".

              Therefore Section 1512 of Title 18 applies to impeachment inquiry hearings.

      Marie Yovanovitch was treated horribly. her testimony would have carried no weight. However, Trump chose to belittle her on national network TV. Showing his narcissistic personality in its full glory.

      In the end, I see Marie could now be the first building block of abuse of power charges. Her treatment coupled with possible other like incidents could well prove abuse of power. Of course, there would need to be more such incidences. And there well may be more to come.

      I must add, Trump could have chosen not to tweet, and Marie's. testimony would have meant little. In my opinion, this ordeal was the first thing to shake Trump's base. No one that watched Marie testify will forget her face when that tweet was read... Trump meant to be cruel, and this has not gone unnoted.

          It may be just coincidental. If Biden weren't running for office I believe Trump would still have pushed for investigation.

          I can tell you this, though. If Biden wins the White House, unless the democrats take both Houses, there will be a push for an investigation. I,personally, would like to see what's at the bottom of this.

          Not sure if anyone realized Trump had the right to investigate any form of not only election interference but the right to investigate a citizen that he feels committed a crime in their country.

          Imagine if Trump's son after he stepped into office was hired on a board of any foreign country let only Ukraine. Being a bit hypocritical.  The Biden's need to be investigated now that we have learned of Hunter taking money from three foreign counties for doing zip... Come on Randy this will need investigating. They are in no way above the law. One way to the other these two need to be investigated.

          Trump needs to call for an official investigation on the Biden's.

            The obvious is so hard to see, isn't it?

            Trump hammered Hillary over and over again about her email server and his fans ate it up. He thinks he can win again by painting his opponent as a criminal. He wanted another "crime" to pin on his next opponent because he doesn't have any actual positive messages, only division and lies.

            If you've watched the hearings, especially over the last two days, it is crystal clear that Trump ordered the bribery and everyone knew about it.

            This is as simple as it gets, and if his supporters can't see it, it's just more evidence that he can get away with murder and they'll find a way to excuse it.

              So what is wrong with an investigation...if innocent...it is all good...and if not...
              The problem is...once the word "investigate" is used...it seems that guilt or lack there of, is determined before the investigation is even started...

              And why is it...that everyone freaked out so bad at the mention of Biden Jr., Ukraine, and corruption...it seems most of the Democrat party jumped to the defense of Ukraine and Biden Sr...before anything was really even known about...Even though it is pretty common knowledge that Ukraine was known for corruption and Biden Jr worked for that company...What is it about Trump asking for it to be investigated that caused such a stir? If there is nothing to hide, why not just let Trump "hang" himself with a phony investigation...instead of jumping the gun and pretty much stopping Trump in time to ensure there is no evidence to convict him with impeachment?

                    The yield curve has been a decent past predictor of recession so there is some potential, but correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation. As always, there are a lot of variables at play (including politicians that like to attach themselves to market successes and seize upon market failures). Unfortunately, I think there are plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle that benefit greatly from the occasional market shakeup that ratchets their power up a notch while the power of the people wanes (e.g. conversion of homeowners to renters).

                  Hi there Eastwood. I understand your point, but, even considering his "massive rallies," I think Bernie is a fringe candidate, and the fringe is not large enough to carry the ballot.

                  My opinion is that the 'Center' and Independent voters with combine will one "fringe" or another to carry our next election. I don't think Bernie carries enough of those voters.

                  I also think Pres. Trump has alienated enough of those Center and Independent voters to lose the election. His base is not large enough to get the job done.

                  If the Democrats pick a "Center/Moderate" candidate, (amazingly I see Buttigieg as fitting that description, or Biden, or, a late entry Centrist), I predict a Democrat victory in 2020.

                    Hi, GA. I understand your point as well but I don't think Bernie is as fringe as MSM presents him. There seems to be a strong overlapping area of support between people that supported Trump and people that would support Bernie (he even managed to get a fair showing of support on Fox https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/16/bernie- … -hall.html). People fed up with The Establishment played the wild card/Trump card and I think they very well may take a similar chance with Bernie given the opportunity. Although, he still has to overcome the hurdle of the DNC's own resistance to his nomination.

                    I'm no fan of Biden or Buttigieg and think they will represent corporations over people to a more severe extent than I can stomach. For now, Bernie is the only candidate not accepting corporate money, and that speaks volumes to me. Hoping to have my chance to cast a vote for him, but if he doesn't get the nomination, I guess I'll need to re-evaluate depending on who does.

                His average over time is 41%. Comparing his average to the lowest point of other Presidents isn't reasonable.

                And Rasmussen is a Republican polling firm that always is 4-5% higher than everyone else.

                  I did not realize you meant an average approval rating?  Here is an article that gives a bit more up to date indication of TRump's approval.

                  In regards to Rasmussen, they certainly did a good job pulling in the 2016 election. Please have a look at the article. Did a great job the night of the election.

                  I would think that anyone who opposes Trump's re-election would try to avoid predicting the future, given how well that worked the last time we tried.

                    Actually, it went quite well last time. Polls at election time showed that Clinton would win the popular vote by 3%.

                    She won it by 2%, which is well within the margin of error.

              His approval rating was at 52% last time I checked...
              And the economy is very strong..

              People vote because of their wallets...and unless something in the economy changes between now and election time...Trump is probably going to win in a landslide...

              The Dem nominees only have a "Stop Trump" campaign strategy...they barely talk about policy...and that is not going to fair well for them...Those in the middle or independent are not seeing anything from the Dem side that explains what the candidates have to offer...Free...doesn't appeal to those who are middle or independent...Stop telling me how much you hate Trump (I already know that part) and tell me what you are going to do to improve this country and my interests. All I have heard so far is "Hate Trump" and free everything, but I am going to tax you heavily for it, even if you don't use it.
              This type of talk isn't doing anything for me, and many, many of the other independent types or those who stay in the middle area of politic policies.

                We're going to get rid of a criminal who should never have been allowed to step foot in the Oval Office. This will do more to improve the country than anything else.

                  Any actual proof of crimes? Or just hearsay and speculation?

                  I don't remember him being in criminal court prior to his running?

                  And didn't HRC even say that she would like to see him run for President back in the day?
                  He changed parties from Dem to Rep and became the bad guy...

                  Actually...what is going to happen (if the Dem's don't change their tactics), is Trump is going to get re-elected and the Dem will end up losing the house as well...

                  Randy, don't be so sure. The Dem's in Washington are doing the party no favorite with this impeachment inquiry. Common sense tells one it has no chance of going nowhere and leaves many thinking the Dem's are a nothing but bitter do-nothing party.  The candidates offer nothing in the way of plausible agendas.  They have scared independence off with all the foolishness. It's not hard to see they won't be able to beat Trump, and it's there own fault. They won't see the inside of the WH for many years.

                    As I stated on another thread, I realize there were many ignorant people who voted for Trump the first time, and some of them haven't learned he's a corrupt cretin. So these same people are still here and many still support the criminal.

    There seems to be some information trickling out about Franklin Templeton, the acquisition of Ukrainian Debt, laundering of billions, the source of Hunter Bidens payments for services, indictments of Burisma etc. Maybe someone here can find out more..
