Ousted ambassador ‘shocked’ at Trump; he assails her anew

WASHINGTON (AP) — In chilling detail, ousted U.S. Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch described to Trump impeachment investigators Friday how she felt threatened upon learning that President Donald Trump had promised Ukraine’s leader she was “going to go through some things.”

Unwilling to stay silent during Yovanovitch’s testimony, Trump focused even greater national attention on the House hearing by becoming a participant. He tweeted fresh criticism of her, saying that things “turned bad” everywhere she served before he fired her — a comment that quickly was displayed on a video screen in the hearing room.

Rather than distract from the career diplomat’s testimony, Trump’s interference could provide more evidence against him in the probe. Democrat Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Trump’s attacks were intimidation, “part of a pattern to obstruct justice” and could be part of an article of impeachment.

Funny, she didn’t say anything about feeling intimidated until Schiffty the Schiffthead planted that thought into her teeny tiny little brain.

He’s supposed to surrender by now. That is the way the game is played.

Chilling!!!

Authors are likely 23 yrs old, and don’t know who Clinton is. Idiots so stupid they don’t know what they don’t know. Utah they do know it is ok to tear an unborn baby apart.

It is like they simply publish a pre scripted article without even bothering to actually watch the hearings.

She was utterly discredited by the Republicans during their question time

She’s not a team player. Of course she will be fired.

Obvious problem with this new Democrat Facist party lie.

The accused is perfectly with in their rights to mount a vigorous defense.

There is NO OBSTRUCTION when the accused defends himself

This is the problem the Democrat Fascists have. They have a wanna been script writer trying to run this like it is a movie script

Little Adam Schiff needs to explain how PDJT basically saying she was incompetent is a “threat”. Do the dems not understand that out here amongst the plebs, when your boss fires you, you don’t get to go before the BOD and trash him. Do they not understand that this will never resonate with us?

Trump should have fired all of the Obama appointees. That is what Obama did with Bush appointees on the day he took office.

She felt threatened? Imagine how Ambassador Chris Stevens felt.

Maybe President Trump can make it up to her nominating her to take Stevens's place.

Or has an Ambassador to Libya already been placed?

Adam Schiff needs to explain why he is good friends with Dr Bruce Hensal, a man who was arrested a few days ago for soliciting a 9 year old girl for sex

The Republicans failed for some reason to mention that Obama pulled out every single one of Bush W's appointed ambassadors. You don't have to hate them, you might just want to carry out a different policy and you need people with a philosphy aligned to yours. The whole idea that long term appointees are necessarily good is silly.

Also, her tenure strikes me a little like democrats running cities into the ground. They praise her over and over for her great work on corruption, but the Ukraine is totally totally totally corrupt. It's like Dem mayors in sh*thole cities ... taking praise for fighting valiantly all the city's problems. At what point do you say 'eh, maybe they are part of the continuation of the problem or even the original cause of it.'?

Same with people who credit FDR with saving the country from the depression, when it was his and his party's policies that elongated it to so many years.

So every time I hear praise for how she's carried herself I think 'yeah, but you never point to results.' I would have canned her too . I've yet to hear a single measurable good RESULT of her tenure. Maybe they exist, but where are they?
