Marie Yovanovitch’s Unchallenged False Testimony
American Thinker ^ | November 17, 2019 | Allan J. Favish

Posted on 11/17/2019 4:43:45 AM PST by AJFavish

Despite contrary reporting from John Solomon and the New York Times, former United States Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on November 15, 2019 that a Ukrainian prosecutor recanted his previous statement that she had identified Ukrainians she did not want to see investigated and prosecuted. You can see her testimony here at 1:15:00 to 1:15:20 in the video. She did this under questioning from Democratic Counsel Daniel Goldman.

She committed two other acts of provable perjury. I forgot what they were, but convincing beyond a doubt. There were threads on them. One I think was not knowing about the Biden problem when she was instructed to not answer congressional questions about the situation. The Democrats told her to tell republicans to ask someone else about the issue before testifying.

So if she was coached not to talk about it, she had to know about it. She lied when she said she did not know at the time. I forgot the other situation, but just as provable.

March 2019 Speech...Yovanovich said that "Ukrainian government was NOT making sufficient progress to combat corruption"........

This is from wiki but appears to be from a well documented meeting.

“I have seen where he recanted.”

Do you have sources and knowledge that John Solomon and the New York Times does not have?

“He recanted, but did he do it under duress?”

Did y’all read the article?

He did not recant.

From your link:

Lutsenko recalled Yovanovitch insisted Kasko was an outstanding anti-corruption activist, and "the criminal case discredited those who were fighting against corruption." "I shared the details and explained that I could not open and close cases on my own. I listed some so-called anti-corruption activists under investigation. She said it was unacceptable, as it would undermine the credibility of anti-corruption activists. I took a piece of paper, put down the listed names and said: 'Give me a do not prosecute list.' She said: "No, you got me wrong.' I said: "No, I didn't get you wrong. Such lists were earlier drawn up on Bankova Street [the presidential administration's address, Lutsenko meant the Yanukovych administration], and now you give new lists on Tankova Street [the former name of Sikorsky Street, where the U.S. Embassy is located]. The meeting ended. I'm afraid the emotions were not very good," Lutsenko gave the details of his meeting with the ambassador.

That does not read like a denial to me. Only a clarification, that on this particular occasion, the ambassador said: "No, you got me wrong."

Disingenuous headline, read the details and you can clearly see Yovanovitch pressing Lutsenko that certain Ukrainian nationals and groups (That are being investigated) should be protected so that their “reputations” can remain in tact. Lutsenko verified that and never recanted. Later, the US Embassy pressured Ukraine prosecutors to ignore AnTac, certain Ukrainian activists, and officials per testimony by George Kent.

The curse of high intelligence is that you must watch the less intelligent fumble around, getting in the way, unable to comprehend what you understand immediately.

Sorry, ...should not be protected...

Lutsenko and letting AnTac "off-the-hook" got her fired/shifted to a fellowship job/maintaining SD salary per her cronies in the SD. She should be tarred and feather in my opinion based on other activities she participated in as ambassador.

Her testimony under democratic questioning was easy, clear and practiced. Under republican questioning she was confused, unclear, and often had to take a minute to organize her thoughts. All and all she seemed a nice lady. As the ambassador to a lawless oligarch ridden corrupt place trying to undo the corrupt mess, wild west type we need a bit different attitude. She complained about the reformer that was murdered with acid.

She is a school marm. I want a tough as nails ambassador that would give their government all assistance in finding the bad guys involved and drop a dime on them. If their government did not do anything, maybe arrange something with our alphabets. If the alphabets are incapable, maybe she could go out on a cool moonless night, and do it herself.

Don’t think that is the part she signed up for.

DK

Of course if the crying was an act, and she did it already, she has my full support.

I wish John Solomon would address this issue regarding her testimony.
