Fox News has been a roller-coaster ride as former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch makes a compelling case that she was unduly smeared and baselessly removed from her post. Shortly after her testimony, Fox News’ Chris Wallace said, "If you were not moved by the testimony of Marie Yovanovitch, you don't have a pulse.”
Donald Trump was certainly moved, but not in the way the rest of us were. He began tweeting about Yovanovitch in real time, smearing her reputation in a move that was clearly designed not only to intimidate her, but to send a message to those who may soon be testifying: If you tell the truth and/or say anything bad about Donald Trump, the most powerful person in the world will publicly attack you. This is witness intimidation, pure and simple.
While most networks had commentators discussing the real-time witness intimidation and how it could easily be added as a new article of impeachment, Fox News senior Capitol Hill producer Chad Pergram took up the defense of Donald Trump’s impulsiveness, saying that witness intimidation isn’t specifically listed in the Constitution as an impeachable offense.
Bro … Article 2, Section 4 says this:
SECTION 4. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Donald Trump used congressionally approved financial aid to force a foreign leader into announcing the beginning of a sham investigation for the sole purpose of aiding Donald Trump in his reelection efforts. The charges also detail “other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” These don’t need to be spelled out one by one. Murder and pedophilia aren’t specifically spelled out either; would those not be impeachable offenses?
