House Democrat on Trump's tweets: "Innocent people don't intimidate witnesses"
Rep. Eric Swalwell said the President "is seeking to destroy" former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch "for testifying against him" with his tweets attacking her during testimony.

Swalwell said that the House will "view that as witness intimidation not only to the ambassador but future witnesses who would come in."

He added: "Innocent people don't intimidate witnesses. This is what guilty people do, and the President continues to act guilty."

Swalwell said Trump's intimidation should be considered for articles of impeachment

Everything they need to kick him to the curb. There has been virtually no defense of these tweets. I think this is the nail and they will tell him he's done as he is committing impeachable acts in real time as the House is holding impeachment hearings. No GOP Senator, even Graham, can defend this. Barr must have told him he's out of options last night.
