'Witness intimidation in real-time' - Repukes embarrass themselves when questioned about it


https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2019/11/15/trump-impeachment-witness-intimidation-071129

Asked if it amounted to witness intimidation, Conaway did not offer a direct answer: “I’m not a lawyer, I’m not familiar with it, but it’s just not something I would do. It’s just not my style.”

Several Republicans on the Intelligence Committee dodged the topic entirely. Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) refused to answer questions about the tweets as he ducked on to the House floor, while Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) quickly whipped out his cell phone and began talking into it, even though his home screen was visible and there was no call in progress.

They (Rethugs) should get standard-issue fake cellphones with a home screen that says "Important Caller" to avoid situations like this. Because it's going to happen A LOT.
