Former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified before Congress that her knowledge about corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings and Hunter Biden's lucrative position on the board came only from what she read in press reports and a briefing she received by the Obama State Department ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing. But newly uncovered documents show the former ambassador's knowledge of the two subjects was much greater than she told Congress under oath.
Citizens United obtained State Department emails this week showing former Ambassador Yovanovitch was involved in discussions regarding Burisma and even attended a meeting with representatives of the company, contradicting her testimony before Congress. The new documents were first reported by investigative journalist John Solomon.
According to Solomon, the unearthed emails show the ambassador and her staff were engaged in discussions and meetings with Burisma as the energy company scrambled to settle a corruption investigation before the inauguration of President Trump.
Yovanovitch, for instance, was specifically warned in an email by her top deputy in September 2016 - three years before her testimony - that Burisma had hired an American firm with deep Democratic connections called Blue Star Strategies to “rehabilitate the reputation” of the Ukrainian gas firm and that it had placed “Hunter Biden on its board,” the memos show.
She also met directly with a representative for Burisma in her embassy office, less than 45 days before Trump took office, a contact she did not mention during her impeachment deposition.

Democrat are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!
Good God. I have had it up to here with these lying, deceitful, conniving, vindictive, mentally deranged, anti-American Leftist pieces of crap.
“that Burisma had hired an American firm with deep Democratic connections called Blue Star Strategies to “rehabilitate the reputation” of the Ukrainian gas firm and that it had placed “Hunter Biden on its board,” the memos show.”
Those “deep Democratic connections” were probably all she needed to hear.
Her lies led to impeachment.
And I ain't too happy with some of the deranged, anti-American POS on the right, either!
None of them will ever be held accountable. Their media wingmen are still lying for them.
Well, golly gee. Another Democrat lying bitch.
Being a Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry.
That too...that too.
You are so right. Ann. These people do as they please. Laws and edicts are for the rest of us, damn sure not for them.
This is quite a scandal - I’m sure this will be the lead item on every major nightly news broadcast...
Oh wait...nevermind. Fake news networks don’t report actual news.
I remember my awakening in the nineties. The media filled the seventies and eighties with scandals and show trials. Always against Republicans...Then came Clarence Thomas in 1991. But beginning in 1993, Whitewater, multiple women accusing sexual misconduct, and Vince Foster’s death brought no curiosity at all from the “crusading” media. They DEFENDED Bill Clinton. I always knew they sucked, but this told me they had no ethics at all.
By the way...to anyone who has connections to the Trump campaign who may be lurking - articles like this being tweeted by the President complete with the think to the original article with request for everyone to share it is how we can get around the media to get this information to the public.
Yep. If a Republican reveals damaging information, the story is not about the damaging information, but about “how did he get that information?” - as though that is the scandal.
this video pretty much summarizes how this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOZ0irgLwxU
... and General Flynn still faces uncertainty after losing everything but his conscience.
America is f*cked.
Predictably the MSM is not covering this story.
Did Stink Finger Joe tell her to talk to them?
Maybe a trail there too?
Is Rudy the one finding this stuff? We know he’s been working with Solomon before.
Nailed it. All of this is just acting out by our side. The left gets away with everything.
