President Trump on Sunday evening called for the outing of a whistleblower and railed against other individuals, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), at the center of a growing scandal involving his phone call with Ukraine's president, warning there could be "Big Consequences."

"Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called 'Whistleblower,' represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress," Trump said in a series of tweets.

"His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber," he continued before adding that he wants Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, "questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason."

"In addition," he added, "I want to meet not only my accuser, who presented SECOND & THIRD HAND INFORMATION, but also the person who illegally gave this information, which was largely incorrect, to the 'Whistleblower.' Was this person SPYING on the U.S. President? Big Consequences!"

Openly threatening witnesses and whistleblowers is now okay in today's America.

1. Getting a little nervous?

Are you Mr. dump?

[Cha]

20. trump sounds hella scared and

jittery

[NurseJackie]

28. Good! He ought to be! And...

Good! He ought to be! And, I'm enjoying watching his fear come to the surface.

[unblock]

2. i guess everyone who reads that article is a now witness to witness tampering

[BigMin28]

3. Could this

Be considered witness intimidation?

[NJCher]

7. absolutely

People go to prison over this type of thing. I'm an activist working for criminal justice reform and as a result of my (volunteer) work I see all kinds of crimes. This is called tampering. It is a form of witness intimidation. It's on tape; there's no question about it. It is a thinly veiled death threat.

Probably the only reason you don't hear much talk about it is that tampering is just one of his many crimes.

The fact that he said this just shows how ignorant he is. His handlers must be tearing their hair out. Oh oops, he fired all the handlers. Ipso facto.

4. Sounds like somebody is a liddle' worried

[Moostache]

5. Whelp....that will be another article of impeachment...

Trump is starting to be the character of Jon Bender from "The Breakfast Club" asking for more detentions...

[Bleacher Creature]

6. I'll take witness tampering for $1000, Alex.

[ancianita]

8. +1

[Cha]

21. Add it to the ever growing

list

[Stuart G]

9. "Openly threatening witnesses and whistleblowers" isn't this illegal? I guess it is. (post 7)

Someone farther up ...did say it is..see post number 7, thank you

[Brainfodder]

10. Could he act MORE guilty than he is?

[Stuart G]

11. Witness Tampering (orignal post) is a felony "big consequences" 2 words..

Is that a threat?.. If it is a threat, Is that worse than the original crime?

I wonder what a jury would decide?

[vlyons]

12. He's really losing it

nt

[klook]

26. Just getting started. (nt)

[Wellstone ruled]

13. TrumpJudge Roy Bean.

Same stupid logic.

[William Seger]

14. Retribution fantasies are common with narcissists suffering paranoid delusions

[2naSalit]

15. As his attorney said,

Shut up, moron!

Desperate Donny is having a cow.

[Retrograde]

16. Go ahead, throw a few more counts

of witness intimidation and witness tampering into the impeachment articles.

JHC, doesn't this guy know when to shut up?

[Midnight Writer]

17. I hope our airport security people are watching for groups of Saudis carrying bone saws.

[Aristus]

18. Confronting the accuser. Doesn't that happen in the court room?

Does Trump really want that?

I don't think so...

[JohnnyRingo]

19. This is crazy.

I don't mean crazy like the zany drunk at the corner bar, but criminally insane crazy.

Does he really think someone's going to put him in a room with the whistle blower so he can intimidate him and threaten his life? Somebody please ask McConnell and his GOP cohorts if this sounds right to them.

[Auggie]

22. This is what they do: create a new narrative by introducing a wrong assumption or lie ...

in this case, that it's not only okay to witness tamper but expected.

It's perfect fodder for FOX News, conservative pundits and coffee-shop MAGAs. The talk shifts from "Trump committed an impeachable offense," to "The Democratic Congress is treating Trump unfairly."

This isn't more crazy talk from Trump. This is planned propaganda to rally the base.

Dilute. Distract. Disinform.

[littlemissmartypants]

23. A barking dog is a nervous dog. nt

[dubyadiprecession]

35. Presidential Harassment...

Is the worst kind of harassment there is! Will no one shed a tear for our poor, helpless, bully behind the pulpit?

[Vinca]

24. He's probably already met most of them. The alarm is sounding within the asylum.

[safeinOhio]

25. No wonder his casinos failed, he didn't know that

the House always wins.

[Unbelievable]

29. I see...

What you did there...

[moonseller66]

27. We're overlooking a major player

in trump's BS. TWITTER!

It's about time the morons who own this media start taking responsibility for allowing this POS to spew his BS.
Without twitter, trump is reduced to having to actually meet with the press and other media. And since it would be the same thing time after time, maybe then the media would tire of his incessant lying and actually report what is important.

But without twitter or at least with responsible, fair twitter owners who seem more interested in hate so a few of their friends can profit, trump would be much more silent.

Never going to happen, though. Because twitter, like facebook doesn't care what happens to this country so long as they can profit from dissension and hate.

30. Donny Donny

he want to know him or her then find a way to get rid of...

[HuskyOffset]

31. Trump should take his threats,

along with his random Capitalization, wad them up into a little ball and jam them right up his ass.

[duforsure]

32. Acts of desperation showing more each day

And this was done to intimidate them and others from exposing him, but instead it'll just make more come out and with a lot more damming trump information, and his threats against them will only escalate. These people coming out are hero's, not criminals like trump will claim.trump's a serial liar, a con man, and a criminal, and it's a great thing these brave people are exposing him.

[Maeve]

33. IN COURT, you moron--that's the place to meet your accuser!

And we've read the transcript---as the saying goes, "many a man has cut his throat with his own tongue".

[MaryMagdaline]

34. Is it possible trump does not know who the whistle blower is?

Quite a closely held secret if this is true.

I have to think he would out him immediately if he knew.

[marble falls]

36. Trump's version of Teddy Rooseveldt: "Speak bigly and carry a soft stick."

[nwduke]

37. He sounds like a

Mafia thug! The GOP has fallen into his swamp and lost all of the little dignity that had left!

[C Moon]

38. How do these GOP people sleep at night? Trump must be drugged up just for 2 hours of sleep.

[central scrutinizer]

39. Mano a mano in the parking lot?

No way, too big of a coward

[Totally Tunsie]

40. Well, if there's anyone who would know about

"fraud and treason", it's Dirty Donnie Two-Scoops.

[Politicub]

41. Trump is having a public meltdown.
