State Department emails obtained by the conservative group Citizens United this week indicate that the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine was involved in discussions about the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings and even in a meeting with a company representative, despite testifying to Congress during the impeachment inquiry that she knew little about the firm.
Burisma Holdings was at the center of impeachment proceedings against President Trump, after he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone call to look into the Biden family’s dealings in Ukraine. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, held a lucrative position on the board of Burisma Holdings.
During the impeachment hearings, many witnesses were questioned about their knowledge of the Biden-Burisma connection, and the firm's reputation in Ukraine. Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, during House testimony last year, said she didn't have much knowledge about the firm, and noted that she only learned of its connection to Biden through "press reports" she read while preparing for her Senate confirmation hearing.

Rut roh Scooby!
Oh, oh
Democrats lie in testimony.
The are scum.
I just heard from Obama personally a few days ago that Perjury like this MUST BE PUNISHED!!!
Did Adam Schiff know beforehand about this?? Suborning Perjury??
In her opening statement she claimed that at no time was she made aware of a conflict of interest between Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and Burisma holdings.
About an hour later, under cross-examination she was forced to admit that there were meetings held to specifically discuss this matter and how she should answer the questions during her Senate confirmation. This woman should no doubt be in jail.
Ya..
but knowingly giving false information under oath during a congressional hearing is like a $25 over time paring fine.
It really is not important. It’s not like breaking any real laws.
Will she get the Stone treatment? No, I thought not.
I think we’re going to find that billions, not millions, went missing in Ukraine, that the very people testifying against Trump in the impeachment hearings were involved in disbursing the funds, and were also involved in the meetings to quash the investigations. Biden was proud to take credit for it, but it involved almost everyone we met during impeachment.
Was she under oath when she gave that testimony? How can she NOT be tried with ‘lying to congress’?????
Yeah, and Roger Stone’s supposed to be the criminal. This one lied under oath during impeachment hearings, which is far more serious.
Yes she was. It was an impeachment hearing.
Judge in Roger Stone case orders Trump administration to turn over Ukraine emails
The Office of Management and Budget refused to send them to her claiming executive privilege. What makes her think the White House will comply? She's needs to be slapped down hard. She thinks she's a prosecutor too, just like Sullivan. Their bias is so obvious, and they don't even try to hide it.
Yovanovitch Lied under oath.
What is Bagpipes Barr going to do about it?
SOP statement = LIE
Sounds like either lying to an FBI agent or perjury. Either way it sounds like someone should be charged and have a judge and jury decide how much jail time is appropriate.
How she’s not getting the Flynn treatment is beyond me. Lying under oath, no less.
