Democrats' Impeachment Witness Has Some Explaining to Do (Marie Yovanovitch)
Townhall ^ | 5/14/20 | Bronson Stocking

Posted on 05/17/2020 4:26:09 PM PDT by Libloather

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.

Mark Levin on Fox right now laying it all out. Mollie Hemingway coming up.

Levin furious that no-one has ever asked Obama a single question about any of this.

Explaining to whom? Nothing will be done, she served her purpose, she will be rewarded. End of story. Show me any deep stater that received an punishment over the Trump coup d’état attempt.

Oh by all means, don’t vote for the republicans, why we could have Nancy Pelosi running the house and Upchuck Schumer running the senate. That will teach those republicans. Of coarse you can say goodbye to the country but you will have the satisfaction of showing everyone what a principled conservative you are.

And you will be cursed down through the ages and people will sneak into the cemetery to pee on your grave. But don’t let that stop you.

If he’s anything like Jensen, this guy might question her. Rudy has enough info on her for a dossier. That is exactly what he’s supposed to be doing.

Today it's: "First Democrats, then RINOs."

You might be willing to give up on America but I’m not. We have a chance to save her but not by waiving the white flag.
