First, allegation #1 - that the President "forced out" Ambassador Yovanovitch
There's a word in English that describes what President Trump did
He *fired* her
As he has the absolute right to do
Because Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President

Adam Schiff claims that @RudyGiuliani promoted "conspiracy theories" about Ukraine meddling in the 2016 elections
Nonsense; it's no conspiracy, it was reported by Politico's @kenvogel in 2017

@RudyGiuliani @kenvogel Schiff says the allegations that Joe Biden got Victor Shokin fired for corrupt reasons are "without merit."
Shokin himself has testified under oath to the contrary - that he was fired for "leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings."

@RudyGiuliani @kenvogel Schiff complains that Trump offered no rationale for firing Ambassador Yovanovitch
Newsflash, Adam: she served at the pleasure of the President, he doesn't need a rationale

@RudyGiuliani @kenvogel Here's an absolutely asinine argument: that the President removing Yovanovitch "threatened US-Ukraine policy."
President Trump SETS US-Ukraine policy
Because he's the President
And Adam Schiff isn't

Because he's the President
And Adam Schiff isn't
@RudyGiuliani @kenvogel Every time Schiff brings up Joe Biden and Burisma, he argues, without evidence, that doing so was not in Joe Biden's personal interests
While asserting, without evidence, that Trump was SOLELY acting in his personal interests when he asked for an investigation

@RudyGiuliani @kenvogel Adam Schiff is VERY mad that President Trump had a one-on-one meeting with Viktor Orban
And suggests - without evidence - that Mr. Orban has promoted anti-semitism
Cool story, Adam!

@RudyGiuliani @kenvogel WOW WOW WOW
Adam Schiff's report EXONERATES President Trump of an impeachable offense
Schiff claims that President Trump carried a negative view of Ukraine due to conversations with Orban and Putin
That means Trump was not acting solely in his own political interests!

@RudyGiuliani @kenvogel Key point - this totally undermines Adam Schiff's first "finding of fact" - that Trump was acting in his personal interests
Game over! No bribery, no extortion, no impeachable offense. Period.
