It’s in the nature of social media to induce a fugue-state but that does not excuse Dear Leader’s abusing his position to badger a witness. The former acting Attorney General (the incumbent has of course recused himself from such appearances) testified before the House of Congress on Russian inference in the US presidential election, and how the former administration warned Dear Leader about staffing his ranks with certain individuals. Dismissed by Dear Leader for questioning the legality of his targeted travel ban, the former Attorney General seemed not to be rattled by his threatening tone.
