Having spent the weekend rage-tweeting about his possible impeachment—along with calls for civil war and a demand to meet the whistleblower—Donald Trump kicked off the workweek by tweeting out yet another conspiracy theory, and, because why the hell not, a demand to have House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff arrested for treason:

Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people. It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?

Trump is in full-blown panic mode.
