Yovanovitch Failed to Hang Trump Photo at Embassy in Ukraine, President Says
Epoch Times ^ | 11/24/2019 | Ivan Pentchoukov

Posted on 11/24/2019 7:16:17 AM PST by Eddie01

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch failed to hang a photo of President Donald Trump at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv for more than a year after Trump’s inauguration and said “bad things” about him, the president told Fox News in an interview on Nov. 22.

The White House recalled Yovanovitch from her post in Kyiv on April 24, 2019, after months of allegations in the media claiming that she did not like Trump and was undermining him. Trump’s anecdote about the portrait, if confirmed, would become the first piece of evidence to substantiate the allegations.

“This ambassador that everyone says is so wonderful she wouldn’t hang my picture in the embassy ok? She’s in charge of the embassy. She wouldn’t hang it. It took like a year and a half or two years for her to get the picture up,” Trump said. “She said bad things about me. She wouldn’t defend me.”

I do remember something about that. For some reason it took quite a while for the official photo to show up in our building as well.

She was a major component of vast anti-Trump conspiracy. It is not in the very least surprising.

Have all the employees who worked there during this time been fired? Who was running the State Department?

She was wounded so badly she was forced to teach one class a week at Georgetown for $170,000 a year. Ambassador Stephens has no comment.

At the hearing, Rep. Elsie Stefanik asked Yovanovitch to reconcile her opening statement
WRT denials she had not ever discussed Hunter Biden or Burisma .

Stefanik then pointed to evidence Yovanovitch previously admitted to,
WRT an extensive briefing session she gave specifically about Hunter Biden and Burisma.

Dear President Trump,

If you succeed in winning re-election please FIRE everyone you can legally fire that worked in the Government prior to January 20th 2017. This means every department, ever location. Everyone!

The story is told that when Cortez reached the new world, he burned his ships to motivate his men. BURN the ships President Trump!

“At the link, there is a picture of this humorless woman with rings on her right ring finger and a clean bandaid across her palm.”

.....indicative of a recent blood sacrifice or oath perhaps?

Guess whose official portrait continued to hang there for more than a year after it had actually "expired!"

I’m guessing the government made about a million giant photos of hillary in advance of the election to hang in all the federal buildings.

Weird.

I watched Mutiny on the Bounty Friday for the first time.

They too burned the ship, but to save themselves from prosecution and to force acceptance of their new found paradise.

Apparently burning passage home has it’s advantages.

Yovanovitch said there was no "Do Not Prosecute List" and she did not give to Ukrainian govt officials.

Now Ukraine is leaking like crazy trying to make amends after their candidate Hillary flopped.

Would not surprise me if the "Do Not Prosecute List" was in Trump's possession as we type.

Review? Trump needs to just fire everyone and everything not personally hand-picked by him, especially if/when he gets a second term.

He has not a single friend in DC. He can't even go to a baseball game in that miserable s***hole.

I would believe it. They were so sure Hillary would win in a landslide the thought of otherwise never entered their minds.

The sooner these deep state creatures are purged the better.
