1/News reports are #PresidentTrump refuses to bring in war room & handles #impeachment matters himself. But I have identified WHO has been giving him (& #RandPaul) their strategic advice to attack #whistleblower. Follow evidentiary logic through this thread & you'll clearly see.

2/Watch typical #Trump tactic against #WBer. Ask a question. Suggest he doesn't know answer. Then encourage a negative answer.

3/#Trump's latest surrogate is Sen @RandPaul, who is threatening to reveal name of #whistleblower. Many GOP colleagues fortunately disagree with his view but will that stop him? What is Senator's latest strategy?

@RandPaul 4/@RandPaul is making stuff up.

“[The whistleblower] might have travelled w/Joe Biden to Ukraine for all we know. We should look at his writings, we should know all of this stuff to see whether or not he has any intersection w/Burisma & w/Hunter Biden,”

@RandPaul 5/Asked if he had evidence for any of these suppositions, Paul said, “we don’t know unless we ask.”

Strategy is to ask questions & suggest negative answers, knowing full well that is not actually fact.

Where does that strategy come from? I will now reveal!

@RandPaul 6/Eric Cartman. The proof is right here:

Just watch.

@RandPaul 7/"But hey, I'm just a normal kid, like you, except that I ask questions. And because I'm brave enough to ask questions, I come under scrutinies. Is Wendy using your lunch money to buy heroin? Probably not, but how can we know?...."

@RandPaul 8/"I don't want my lunch money going to drugs! Who's taking these drugs? What would be the point? I'm asking questions!"

@RandPaul /END Just asking questions. Same strategy being pursued by #PresidentTrump & @RandPaul.

Yet these Qs undermine #whistleblower protection & may lead to physical harm/harassment of my client. This isn't a cartoon. This is real.
