Trump attacking Ambassador Yovanovitch while she’s testifying.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
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.
Adam Schiff asks how this impacts other her & other witnesses. It’s intimidating, she says.
When Schiff asks Yovanovitch if Trump is trying to intimidate witnesses, she declines. She says the effect is intimidating, but she can’t say what his intent is. Consummately professional, she’s testifying to what she knows, not what the questioner wants to hear.
Although impeachment doesn’t require a crime, witness intimidation is in fact a crime & could be the basis of another article of impeachment.
Here’s the relevant law,

It’s hard to be restrained like she has in the face of this kind of misconduct by an American president. He’s not fit to lick her boots.
