.@BBC reporting on "an historic day in American politics." The presenter notes "at a rally last night, the President led a chant of #LockHerUp, referring to Hillary Clinton, but it's Trump's closest people who are going to jail."

The presenter sounds incredulous about the chant.

18mins into the @BBCWorld broadcast, still talking about Trump, #Manafort, #MichaelCohen and #LannyDavis.

Now there is a US constitutional scholar discussing how the president can indeed be indicted and how there is "grounds for impeachment" after yesterday's events.

Telling.

.@BBCWorld quotes #MichaelCohen's attorney #LannyDavis w/r/t #MuellerInvestigation.

It's concerning that Trump's criminality is the main story going out on THE main broadcast to the WORLD from the world's largest news service.

After a 20min break to discuss other world news, @BBCWorld is now back to Trump, inverviewing Trump surrogate Michael Caputo.

#MichaelCaputo says Democrats will now be pushing #impeachment for #Midterms. Caputo says "this is a rigged witch hunt" and that Democrats are "trying to destroy this man [Trump] by any means necessary." He says that is NOT the American rule of law.

Stunning series of claims.

#MichaelCaputo also said that while the Republicans have "no chance of losing the Senate," they need to fight losing the House. Caputo says GOP congressmen (he says men) need to fight back against claims against the good name of "the president." Emphasizes the witch hunt.

The @BBC reporter, Rebecca Kresby, sounds incredulous at Caputo's comments. She asks him, wouldn't a witch hunt mean "the entire court system conspiring against the president?" He seems slightly tripped up by how she lays this out, and it does sound utterly ludicrous. Brava her.
