Dear god, he’s an idiot.

Threatening the whistleblower is another obstruction of justice count.

He also accused Adam Schiff of fabricating the whistleblower transcript, of making stuff up out of thin air based on a “perfect” conversation 45 had with Zelensky. Galloping, barking lunacy.

Republicans in the Senate need to be directly asked: “The President repeatedly has called for the unmasking of the whistleblower. Do you condemn this call, or do you think that whistleblowers should be unmasked?”

The only thing more awesome than this self-own for obstruction is gonna be when he finds out, unmasks, and thinks it’s all gonna go away because said whistleblower once donated to a Democrat or something.

Somebody finally got through to him that it might be a good idea to pivot away from the whistleblower hunt right now. Time to take credit for the decisions of actual CEOs. 600 jobs in San Antonio, that’s a lot of bang for what the millionaires’ tax cut has done to the deficit…

Ok Honorable Adam Schiff, start writing up another article of impeachment, threatening witnesses with retaliation. Tomorrows assignment is the article about inciting violence.

As an aside, I’ve noticed that MSNBC has done the right thing and refused to repeat the NYT’s reporting on the whistleblower’s general background. Good for them.
