Trump threatens witness live as she testifies to Congress and the American people:

Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors. BTW, You're lucky I didn't come down there with a gun, because I can shoot people too!".

Jim Jordan Republican of Ohio sympathized with Trump's statement:

“Look, the President has been frustrated with this relentless attack on him by the Democrats that started even before he was president. I think the American people can relate to the frustration,”

US Code 18 section 1512, Tampering with a Witness, Victim or Informant

...(b) Whoever knowingly uses intimidation, threatens, or corruptly persuades another person, or attempts to do so, or engages in misleading conduct toward another person, with intent to—

Trump could legally, and without consequences outside of impeachment by Democrats (which is by definition an illegitimate unfair unAmerican commie witch hunt by scum) pull the switch to drop a GBU-31 on a federal courthouse.

It would be a strong statement by the President on the consequences of disloyalty. The body count wouldn't matter, according to President Trump's lawyer William S. Consovoy's courtroom argument.

House Republicans Just Voted To Allow Severely Mentally Ill People To Buy Guns

So Trump really might be able to get a gun to shoot someone on 5th Avenue. Not that Park Ave's too shabby to pop someone off either, but definitely not Broadway - way too pedestrian clientele, hardly any prestige in that.

Thanks for the link.

Why shoot just anybody? And why 5th Avenue?

The opportunity for Trump "going further rogue" may cross private discussions among those who have dealings with him. While the more shocking possibilities, under current circumstances, will not make it into the New York Times or the Atlantic.

P.S. Along the lines of great minds thinking alike, searching cartoons for those posted above, I ran across that a cartoonist did another version of your report a year ago for "Daily Shouts" @ The New Yorker, in a cartoon strip. But with more emphasis on the variety of GOP reaction.

But his reactions are imagined, yours are real.

PICTURES, NO WORDS! You didn't read the memo, did you, fess up. But if you write this in Cyrillic, some of his aides will undoubtedly pick it up.

I just hope Trump doesn't read this and get an idea to grab the news cycle for a day or two. He's enough of a reader to make it through the first sentence anyway.

You had to spoil it with your disclaimer - shoulda added a Reuters or AP tagline. Besides, today's absurdity is tomorrow's same-old.
