Some very excellent questions — and the Repubs didn’t ask a single one of them. The Repubs today seemed to be afraid of being too hard on the ambassador cause they didn’t really go after her. Quite different than the last hearing with the “dynamic duo”
Well, the GOP was gaveled down on a number of things, and Schiff was absolutely odious towards “that woman” (Stefanik). Can you imagine if a Republican had said that to a Dem? So I don’t think GOP questioning was as aggressive as earlier.
In any case, I think a lot of people actually feel bad for Yovanovitch, who opposed Trump - which it was not her business to do - but was also being manipulated by more important Obama holdovers in the State Dept. She is beginning to realize that she’s under the Dem bus. They’ll drop her in a heartbeat and probably already have, because she sure didn’t give them a win.
Yeah, they babied her, probably because they didn’t want to be perceived as picking on a woman.
And, where the hell did they get that lawyer, and why was he picked to do the questioning? He was a dud. Amazing that they didn’t find someone better.
