President Impeached while in India has attacked American Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), American Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), two American Supreme Court Justices, and the whole U.S. Intelligence Community. Good times!
Schiff and the Intelligence Community.
Set up by Schiff’s lies & leaks. Same with the Mueller Witch Hunt 3 years ago! https://t.co/uSzupeHXoq

“U.S. Intelligence official overstated assessment of Russian efforts to help Trump.” @FoxNews @GreggJarrett They supposedly told Crazy Bernie that Russia was looking at him, not me. This is all a big scam between Intel and the Democrats. They want Bernie OUT, & hate “Trump”.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2020
..It has been a scam right from the beginning with the illegally started Mueller Report, FISA, the leaking, lying & more. Schiff should not have access to Intelligence, he is a corrupt pol. “Amazing that they went to Bernie Sanders, but not to President Trump.” @marthamaccallum

President Impeached is accusing Schiff of being the “people familiar with the matter,” who spoke to the Washington Post regarding the Bernie Sanders campaign and the Intelligence Communities recent assessment that Russia was interfering in the hopes of helping Sanders win the DNC nomination.
The CNN story that is linked in Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) tweet is regarding a New York Times story that reported Russia was interfering with the 2020 Presidential Election in the hopes of keeping President Impeached in Office.
According to CNN, there is no evidence that Russia is interfering with the 202 Presidential Election to aid President Impeached, that’s according to what National Security Officials told CNN.
“The intelligence doesn’t say that,” one senior national security official told CNN. “A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it’s a step short of that. It’s more that they understand the President is someone they can work with, he’s a dealmaker.“
CNN. 02/23/2020.
While in India President Impeached held a presser, during which he was asked about the Russian Interference leading into the 2020 Presidential Election.
He responded to the question, “the Intelligence Community believes that Russia is trying to meddle in the 2020 election. Do you agree with their assessment and what is your message to Vladimir Putin,” regarding the Russian interference, by attacking Schiff and the Intelligence Community.
Asked about his message to Russia regarding interference in the 2020 campaign, Trump threatens Adam Schiff.

U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
“Sotomayor accuses GOP appointed Justices of being biased in favor of Trump.” @IngrahamAngle @FoxNews This is a terrible thing to say. Trying to “shame” some into voting her way? She never criticized Justice Ginsberg when she called me a “faker”. Both should recuse themselves..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2020
….on all Trump, or Trump related, matters! While “elections have consequences”, I only ask for fairness, especially when it comes to decisions made by the United States Supreme Court!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2020
On Friday Courthouse News reported that in a 5-4 ruling the Supreme Court will allow a new “wealth test,” rule that “will make it more difficult for immigrants to receive green cards if they rely on public benefits such as food stamps.”
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor offered a scathing dissent writing, “It is hard to say what is more troubling: that the government would seek this extraordinary relief seemingly as a matter of course, or that the Court would grant it.
Sotomayor also expresses concerns that the now familiar pattern of the Trump Administration asking the Court for relief when lower courts have declined to do so and then the Court being “all too quick to grant the government’s reflexive requests,” based on “emergencies,” could breakdown the appellate process even further.
During the India presser he is asked about Sotomayor and Ginsberg. He answers by saying Ginsberg should recuse herself from cases involving the Trump Administration because she went “wild,” during the 2016 election and didn’t support President Impeached. He goes on to say that Sotomayor’s dissent was “inappropriate.”
Trump, during news conference in India, explains that he thinks Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg should recuse herself from cases involving him because she didn’t support him in 2016. He also calls on Justice Sotomayor to recuse herself for an unspecified “inappropriate” statement. pic.twitter.com/fb0WqOXKvp

Schumer and the Coronavirus.
Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is complaining, for publicity purposes only, that I should be asking for more money than $2.5 Billion to prepare for Coronavirus. If I asked for more he would say it is too much. He didn’t like my early travel closings. I was right. He is incompetent!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2020
The Washington Post reported 14 hours ago, that the White House had asked Congress for $1.8 billion to “bolster coronavirus response.”
The request includes $1.25 billion in new funding for the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the ability to transfer an additional $535 million set aside to fight Ebola and use it for the coronavirus response instead.
The Washington Post. 02/24/2020.
An hour after the Washington Post story was published, Politico reported that the Administration late Monday night sent to Capitol Hill its “$2.5 billion supplemental budget request for additional money to fight the coronavirus,” House Democrats were quick to label the request as “insufficient.”
But wait there’s more…
According to the article the package “proposes using untouched money, including hundreds of millions of dollars in fiscal 2020 cash to fight Ebola. In total, the administration is seeking just $1.25 billion in new funding, relying on extra flexibility to unlock the rest.”
On Monday President Impeached tweeted regarding the coronavirus…
The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!

In the same India presser the Impeached President is asked about a specific tweet from 2014 where he in all caps suggested to keep Ebola patients out of the U.S.. The question posed is regarding the Trump Admin allowing 20 people infected with cornoavirus entry into the U.S..
Ebola patient will be brought to the U.S. in a few days – now I know for sure that our leaders are incompetent. KEEP THEM OUT OF HERE!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 1, 2014
The reporter says in part, “by your own measure does that mean your government has been incompetent.”
Trump responds by saying in part, “there is a big difference between Ebola and the cornavirus,” he adds, “at that time nobody had even heard of Ebola.”
Trump falsely claims that when he posted his unhinged tweets about ebola in 2014, “nobody had ever even heard of ebola.” pic.twitter.com/OScDJ8BNMd

In this clip he says “we are very close to a vaccine,” now, it’s been reported he was speaking of the coronavirus, which based on listening to the clip is possible, the White House issued a statement saying he was speaking about the Ebola virus, which in fairness is also a possibility.
On coronavirus, Trump claims, without evidence, that “we are very close to a vaccine.” pic.twitter.com/WYpfIObAeB

President Impeached: The level of death with Ebola at the time was a virtual 100 percent. There is a very good chance you aren’t going to die, its just the–very much the opposite. You are talking about 1 or 2 percent, where as in the other case, it was a virtual 100 percent. Now they have it, they have studied it, they know very much–in fact we are very close to a vaccine.
If you’re seeing these headlines — in context, Trump seemed to be saying an Ebola vaccine was getting close https://t.co/5UJM2dtnH9, not a coronavirus vaccine. (He’d been comparing the death rates for the two.) The White House says he did mean Ebola. https://t.co/t6ylEbb0yF

For What It’s Worth.
It is maddening that every time, President Impeached travels to foreign soil, he attacks Americans. He in facts belittles America every chance he gets, while foreign countries roll out the red carpet for the American President.
The maddening part isn’t that I expect President Impeached to behave normally, it’s that I spent 8 damn years listening to Fox News tell me how President Obama was highly disrespectful of America whenever he traveled to foreign soil. You know as well as I that “the apology tour,” was highlighted nightly on the Fox News prime-time shows.
And while I really shouldn’t expect the Republicans nor Fox News to be consistent at this point, some things still in fact piss me off. President Impeached behavior while aboard and the Republicans ability to ignore it, is one of those things.
I know-I Know, hypocrites gonna hypocrite and all that, but still.
Update.
President Impeached at 3:01 p.m. eastern time.
There has rarely been a juror so tainted as the forewoman in the Roger Stone case. Look at her background. She never revealed her hatred of “Trump” and Stone. She was totally biased, as is the judge. Roger wasn’t even working on my campaign. Miscarriage of justice. Sad to watch!

BREAKING Roger Stone allegation of juror misconduct and demand for new trial to be heard in semi-public hearing Tuesday, @mattzap @dugganwapo https://t.co/vMyTiRMlS7
— Spencer Hsu (@hsu_spencer) February 25, 2020
In the ongoing saga of As the Stone turns, Judge Amy Berman Jackson citing “the extreme risk of harassment and intimidation jurors might face, Jackson decided that observers should be able to only listen to an audio feed — rather than see in person — arguments over Stone’s request for a new trial. She also barred the parties from naming jurors during the proceeding,” according to the Washington Post article linked in the tweet.
Roger Stone is in D.C. federal court now for a hearing on his motion for new trial. Judge Amy Berman Jackson will hear from both parties shortly on whether to discuss the request in open court. @CourthouseNews

Judge Jackson rules that the hearing will be open to the public in a narrowly tailored proceeding to shield the jurors from harassment & intimidation.
— Megan Mineiro (@MMineiro_CNS) February 25, 2020
No video feed, only audio to the media room and overflow courtroom, closing the courtroom where Stone now sits before the judge.
Judge Jackson criticizes Trump tweets attacking Roger Stone jury forewoman, as well as comments from Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson.
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) February 25, 2020
"While judges may have volunteered for their positions … jurors are not volunteers….They are deserving of the public's respect,” per @kpolantz
To be clear, Judge Jackson had rebuked President Impeached and others for attacking the jury forewoman minutes before the Impeached wonder issued another tweet attacking the jury foreperson.
In 2015 the Trump campaign said they fired Roger Stone.
The Trump campaign paid Stone's firm $50K; Stone officially worked for the campaign for 53 days after the launch; after his ouster/resignation, he became an informal advisor, communicating with top campaign officials about WikiLeaks and also talking a bunch to Trump. More soon. pic.twitter.com/5c26LGORM4
