She was an Obama holdover and a partisan Democrat either of which was reason enough to fire her. She is another Pelosi/Shumer useful idiot.

Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President. This Obama appointee should have realized that if Hillary wasn’t elected, she’ probably loose her appointment.

Did she have a "do not prosecute list" or didn't she?

At least, the person at the top serves at the pleasure of the President. I recall that there is a confirmation process for ambassadors, but everyone else is not handled the same way.
If this Ambassador was talking down the President while in her professional or personal life to entities in that country, and also impeding various internal legal processes, then she is a piece of crap who should be fired with prejudice.

Yep: Yovanovitch was nominated to be the ambassador to Ukraine on May 18, 2016, to replace Geoff Pyatt, and was sworn in on August 18, 2016.

I am actually fine with their “Orange Man Bad” approach. Just makes it easier to distinguish us from them!

In the future Trump needs to consult with Hillary Clinton and Lynn Rothschild and the editorial board of the New York Times before recalling ambassadors....

“Today, we see the State Department attacked and hollowed out from within,” Yovanovitch testified. “State Department leadership, with Congress, needs to take action now to defend this great institution, and its thousands of loyal and effective employees.” The State Department has been a center of Leftist power in the United States for decades, at least back to the 40's

Do not ambassadors to other countries serve at the pleasure of the president? Is not the State Department a cabinet position appointed by the president?
There was no pressure. A simple phone call from Trump to Sec. State. Done.

Trump removed her because the Ukrainian president found her attitude abrasive and unconstructive

In an interview, Mr. Giuliani told The Wall Street Journal that in the lead-up to Ms. Yovanovitchs removal, he reminded the president of complaints percolating among Trump supporters that she had displayed an anti-Trump bias in private conversations. In Mr. Giulianis view, she also had been an obstacle to efforts to push Ukraine to investigate Mr. Biden and his son Hunter.
