During President Trump's impeachment, former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified before Congress [under oath] that she knew little beyond an initial briefing and "press reports" about Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas firm that had hired Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter and was dogged by a corruption investigation. "It just wasn't a big deal," she testified under oath on October 11, 2019. But newly unearthed State Department memos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act [show otherwise].

Isn’t there one of John Kerry’s kin in on this Burisma deal too....stepson or something?
Maybe we should be asking who else Burisma had as ‘employees’...might be a who’s who list of privileged idiots from the senate and house.
Just moved to another position in the government.
If DOJ doesn’t start throwing these liars in jail...and soon...the American public is going to lose all faith in the system and this Republic will fall.
To his credit, Kerry's stepson bailed very early when he smelled the stench.
Wow. This is a pretty big story because that WAS NOT what she testified to in the hearing.
It is not even close. She pretty much said she did not know much of anything about Burisma, but based on this article she appears to have been briefed on it multiple times if Kent is telling the truth?
This begs the question.... what did she do about it? Rudy did several podcasts on this with former Ukrainian officials who contradicted the testimony we heard in congress and corroborated the corruption allegations. In fact, they stated that our embassy (and Ambassador) acted to protect Burisma and kill the case.
They were forbidden from coming to the US to testify (not that Schiff would call them). As usual, our media had no curiosity about it and they treated it much like Peter Schweizer’s books. Ignored.
She was a b**** who thought she should run HER policy and ignore the President.
Not too surprising. Yovanovitch was born in Russia, emigrated with her parents to.... Canada. And “naturalized” to the US.
She’s Ukrainian/Russian, and rubberstamped the Non-governmental org USAID money grants. That is, approved the NGOs to get our money in grants and these NGOs (by prior agreement not in writing) kicked a portion of this grant money sent to “help” the Ukraine back to the Demonrat party through various other dem fronts.
Yovanovych is a true lying agent, and Dem/clintonite/BIDEN (hunter/Burisma) go-between. She is a FRAUD at the least and imho a paid for real Russian asset. She’s “teaching” at Georgetown (a fishing pond for new “assets” for espionage and kompromat— known for decades w/in the US Foreign Service).
GREAT POST! Thanks!
Perjury, i.e. lieing to the face of every US citizen like me that watched her testify on TV... goes beyond a political slant and should be accountable to it.
“It just wasn’t a big deal,” she declared under oath on Oct. 11, 2019.
But newly unearthed State Department memos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show Yovanovitch’s embassy in Kiev, including the ambassador herself, was engaged in several discussions and meetings about Burisma as the gas firm scrambled during the 2016 election and transition to settle a long-running corruption investigation and polish its image before President Trump took office.
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.
The discussions about Burisma inside Yovanovitch’s embassy were so extensive, in fact, that they filled more than 160 pages of emails, memos and correspondence in fall 2016 alone, according to the State Department records obtained under FOIA by the conservative group Citizens United.
And Dr. Birx is tight with Yovanovitch.
“But let’s talk about the woman leading the virus task force....Dr. Birx.
“Deborah Birx was nominated by Barack Obama to be the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator. On February 27, 2020 V.P Mike Pence named Birx as response coordinator for the W.H. Coronavirus Task Force. What was Birx doing before that? Working hand in hand with the corrupt, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.”
But was that it...just the two of them, or were there others that we just haven’t noticed?
The Deep State is alive and well and HUGE.
Anyone who watched her testify, knew she was lying through her teeth.
She’s a bad ambassador and a bad liar......but a perfect example of a Swamper pocketing tax dollars.
And did you notice that it specifically says that Pence appointed her — not Trump?
Evelyn Farkas was “all in” with Burisma. Photos of her and her “pal” former GWBush Ambassador to the Ukraine, John Herbst— now in the dem funnel org Atlantic Council. The Bushes Ukraine connection.
From her tweets at the time- at the behest of the clinton/obama cabal and coup hoax.
“The beneficiary of @realDonaldTrump ‘s fake @JoeBiden story is the Kremlin,” wrote Farkas in one tweet. “This is why ppl call @realDonaldTrump a Russian intel asset.”
Farkas running for NY-house seat vacated by Nita Lowey— oh, and the district HQ’s in Chappaqua NY-— the clinton’s neighborhood.
Featured on Tucker Carlson, last week, from the transcript release story— as to her MSNBC interview about the coup, bragging of our intel on the Russians, in Dec/Jan 2016-17. In her Transcript from House Intel closed door interviews-— she admits to Trey Gowdy... she admitted knew NOTHING at all, just the media! She was no longer in the DOD “intel” (even then she was many arms lengths away from any real intel). She is a apparatchik of the dems, Biden and Clintons.. and, a really stupid opportunist. What’s new.
“Left unmentioned in her public statements is that Farkas was an integral part of a muscular effort by Burisma to rehabilitate its reputation both in the United States and abroad. As a part of that effort, Farkas traveled to Ukraine on Burisma’s dime and spoke at an Atlantic Council conference bankrolled by the energy company in 2018.....”
She is not the only one..... check out this nugget in the Solomon piece -
“”Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has been trying to subpoena documents about Blue Star Strategies and its work for Burisma for weeks but has been blocked by opposition from Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, whose friend serves on the Burisma board. Johnson and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, are now seeking to interview witnesses who previously served at the embassy.
Romney. Say it isn’t so!
N-i-c-e find.
IIRC, Guiliani did a “gotcha” on this egomaniac.
Not only was she not fired, she's now retired and collecting a fat taxpayer-funded pension check.
