Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch said during her closed-door testimony on October 11 as part of House Democrats’ impeachment probe that she did not know if her staff monitored Donald Trump, Jr. and other conservative figures on social media, a recently released transcript shows.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) ran through a list of names of mostly conservative media figures’ names and asked if her staff was monitoring them.
The names included: Jack [Posobiec]; DonaId Trump, Jr.; Laura Ingraham; Sean Hannity; Michael McFaul; Dan Bongino; Ryan [Saavedra]; Rudy Giuliani; Sebastian Gorka; John Solomon; Lou Dobbs; Pam Gellar; and Sara Carter.
Yovanovitch said she did not know if they were monitored, but said that just because she did not know, did not mean a request was not made.
“Can I just say that just because I don’t know doesn’t mean that a request wasn’t made. There’s, you know, lots of people doing this,” she said.
Perry also asked if she promoted using the search terms: Yovanovitch, Ukraine ambassador, Ukraine Soros, or Ukraine Biden. Yovanovich said she did not know.
Perry asked her to explain how “any of this following or searching” would be related to her official duties as ambassador. Her attorney, Larry Robbins, jumped in: “That, of course, assumes that any of that happened.”

What she said!
We've noticed that......and we're hoping some people go to prison for it.
WTF is the staff of a U.S. embassy overseas doing tracking AMERICAN conservatives?
I am thinking the very same thing.

The good ambassador will likely be interviewed by Deputy AG Durham. This touches directly on the use of the State Department to spy on private citizens after the unmasking that occurred as the result if the bogus FISA search warrants.
If she fails to remember then, she will likely be speaking to a grand jury shortly thereafter.Or in the alternative, will be facing an espionage charge.
Beat me to it. A lot of it going on.
Also, isn’t this the lady who supposedly handed the Ukrainians a “do not prosecute list?” I would really like to hear more about that.
What exactly is 'tracking'? From the list of names it sounds like they were watching Fox News 24/7 on the government dime.
By the time durham gets around to this, she will have died of old age. Everyone involved in this should be interviewed BEFORE they testify to congress, etc... Hasn’t anyone heard the concept of “A Laywer never asks the question unless he already knows the answer”.With the thousands of Investigators within the AG someone could do something within a couple of years.
A Laywer never asks the question unless he already knows the answer”.>
That applies only to testimony under oath.
At this point Durham needs to pressure these liberal fascists with real questions about their espionage network.
The FBI needs to roll that espionage network up. Kill the ba$tards if they fight.
You are correct. That is why investigators need to be on this quickly. All the real work is in the investigating. Trial testimony is just a formality. Rarely does anyone come up with bombshell testimony and if they do they never gave statements “before” court.
Look at the information that is missing in Page, Strzok, et al...Team Trump knows all this. Just need to get it before a court. Look how long it is taking Gen. Flynn’s case.
