I don’t know whether you believe in curses or not, but it does seem like people who go after President Trump has some very bad luck. Daniel Goldman, Adam Schiff’s impeachment lawyer is just the latest to find that out. Just a couple of days after he announced he was leaving Schiff’s team he announced that he tested positive for the coronavirus and guess what the first thing he did was? He blamed Trump.

Schiff said that since Goldman had left ten days before it was most likely that he caught the disease after he left. Schiff said that regardless, he and his staff would take all precautions to prevent it spreading. They should have tried that with their Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now, that’s infectious.
The coronavirus is most deadly to older Americans with other medical problems. There have been a lot of deaths attributed to the virus in Italy and the average age of those who have died is 81.
Today is my last day as Dir of Investigations with the House Intel Cmte. It has been an honor and privilege to work for @RepAdamSchiff and with the amazing team he assembled. I look forward to defending the rule of law and our democratic institutions in other ways. More to come.

2nd UPDATE: Banning Europeans will not get me tested faster. Nor will it stop the community spread that began weeks ago.

4th UPDATE: after sitting for 6 hours in the hallway of the @WeillCornell ER, I tested negative for all non-Covid viruses and had a clean chest x-ray (so lungs are fine). Was told to go home and isolate until I feel better.
Now on to find a #COVID19 test in CT.

Breitbart News’ Joel Pollak has detailed how the coronavirus spread throughout China and the world while Democrats were focused on impeachment. Pollak wrote on March 13:
We now know the cost of impeachment.
While Democrats were diverting the attention and energy of the entire country into a pointless trial that could not possibly have ended in anything other than President Donald Trump’s acquittal, the coronavirus pandemic was beginning in China and arriving in the United States.
The timeline of the two developments — impeachment and coronavirus — is shocking, and reveals the true cost of hyper-partisanship.
January 11: Chinese state media report the first known death from an illness originating in the Wuhan market.
January 15: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) holds a vote to send articles of impeachment to the Senate. Pelosi and House Democrats celebrate the “solemn” occasion with a signing ceremony, using commemorative pens.
January 21: The first person with coronavirus arrives in the United States from China, where he had been in Wuhan.
January 23: The House impeachment managers make their opening arguments for removing President Trump.
January 23: China closes off the city of Wuhan completely to slow the spread of coronavirus to the rest of China.
January 30: Senators begin asking two days of questions of both sides in the president’s impeachment trial.
January 30: The World Health Organization declares a global health emergency as coronavirus continues to spread.
January 31: The Senate holds a vote on whether to allow further witnesses and documents in the impeachment trial.
January 31: President Trump declares a national health emergency and imposes a ban on travel to and from China. Former Vice President Joe Biden calls Trump’s decision “hysterical xenophobia … and fear-mongering.”
February 2: The first death from coronavirus outside China is reported in the Philippines.
February 3: House impeachment managers begin closing arguments, calling Trump a threat to national security.
February 4: President Trump talks about coronavirus in his State of the Union address; Pelosi rips up every page.
February 5: The Senate votes to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment, 52-48 and 53-47.
February 5: House Democrats finally take up coronavirus in the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia.
