I’ve heard it’s location, location, location in real estate. I believe in politics it appearance. She never got to cry. That’s a very good point. If she was tough enough to represent the US over seas, she should be able to handle getting fired.
“If she was tough enough to represent the US over seas, she should be able to handle getting fired”
“Marie” Yovanovitch - whatever her real name might be - may be tougher then anyone thinks.
Born in Montreal to Ukrainian Jewish parents, she “moved to” the United States when she was 3 in 1961.
Funny. That’s the profile of a KGB illegal. Parents emigrate to Canada, have kid there or in US depending on opportunity to cross into US. Raise kid to get into US government and get a clearance, and voila: access.
A profile like that used to mean you had a hell of time GETTING a clearance.
Now how does someone like that end up being on the tip of the American spear in a volatile region like Ukraine in the former Soviet Union?
Her big educational background is....drumroll...she speaks Russian. Did a gig at the Pushkin Institute - language school in Moscow.
Undoubtedly I will be shouted down here as being crazy - she can’t be a spy! Her parents were *SOB* Refugees!
Mmm hmmm. That was always the cover story.
Tough enough to get fired? She wasn’t fired. She was transferred in the agency. Normal day in Foggy Bottom. Change of political winds.
But there might be a reason she was picked by Hussein, and is working with the Rats to undermine the President.
And reason 1 is...she’s an AINO...”American in Name Only”.
