President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Friday to defend his right as commander in chief to appoint ambassadors — even as former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified in the Democratic Party’s dog and pony impeachment show trial.It was all enough to prompt a reaction from Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who accused Trump of “witness intimidation.”Schiff may have been perusing social media during a hearing that could have doubled as a therapy session for the former ambassador, it was clear Yovanovitch was not — thus how could she be intimidated? At least, not until Schiff brought it to her attention.

And, Bull Schiff had to prompt her, just like their general council did on Wednesday, to provide a response he wanted.

Christine Blassy Ford redux.
Fell out of my chair, laughing, when she said the State Department is the pointy end of the spear. Too funny.

If the bribery, or attempted bribery fails, Schiff is already lining up the tweet option.

The reason that Eric Swalwell is giving for not allowing the Whistleblower to testify as Schiff had promised all along was the he believes President Trump would kill him.

We're supposed to believe the President actually did tweet and that Schiff actually read it faithfully and accurately, not making something up out of whole cloth as he did with the telephone transcript?

Where was her support dog?
This is our State Department? Hurt feelings?
OMG. Pansies everywhere, and glittering little snowflakes.
If Schiff had been in charge in 1939, we would be speaking German.
Poor sweet baby. Diplomacy is hardball, and sometimes folk get hurt.

It is instructive to see the kind of people we pay with our hard earned tax money. They work for themselves, not us or the country. Washington needs a thorough cleansing and disinfecting.

Unbelievable!! Let me guess . . . Yovanovich was sitting there in the room playing with her cell phone looking at Trump tweets . . .

I had to work with the State Dept when I traveled overseas, and did check in with their RSOs, and did brief one ambassador personally. Never hand any problems with the folks I worked with at the "worker bee" level, and the ambassador was actually a pretty squared away guy in the short meeting we had.
Sounds like this one is a whiner and crybaby.

If you want to keep your job, do what the boss wants and make sure he knows it. I guess a career government employee thinks this doesn't apply to him or her. I am interested in what they think they are getting out of her testimony. Are they going to impeach Trump for saying mean things about a former ambassador?

Exactly WHY, in real time, is Schiff checking his twitter feed?
I thought this was a serious proceeding, all huffy and puffy to take out our President. This lady served at the pleasure of the President. He had every right to fire her or all of the ambassadors when he came into office.
Aren’t they all supposed to tender their resignations as a courtesy?
I had to turn it off when it was more about her feelings, instead of what she did or didn’t do and the time frame in which she wasn’t even there.

Poor, Penci Neck. All wrapped around the axel because the week didn't go well. So, Pencil Neck, did Nan get a hold of you and request that come to Jesus meeting yet?

I just want to stop this hearing to inform her that she is being intimidated right now even if she doesn't know it.

"Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love"
God how I used to hate that song!

She wasn't there when the blood was being spilled. I had friends on the Maidan when Russian snipers were shooting them down, and the dead and wounded were laid out in the lobby of my hotel, immediately adjacent to the location. Thank goodness that I had concluded my last project in Ukraine a few months before it hit the fan over there, was not in the hotel at the time.
She had the cushy job, things were pretty calm by 2016.
She's a whiner.

As usual Schiff did not read the entire tweet. If not for Schiff reading the tweet to Maria she would not have known until she stepped down.
