[ChicagoConservative27]

The House Intelligence Committee will call former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch to testify on Friday in the second public hearing as part of the “impeachment inquiry” against President Donald Trump.

President Trump removed Yovanovitch from her post in May, after what critics called a “political hit job” against her.

IIRC, she got let go just two weeks before her term was supposed to end. AND....Zelensky mentions her...and not in a good light....saying that she supported Poroshenko...and not himself.

at 19:00 min, interview with Joe DiGenova
(one thing he mentioned - Pompeo allowed HRC’s appointment of Yovnovitch as ambassador to remain because she is the head of the State Department’s LGBTQRSTUV group and he didn’t want to whack that nest..)((and then Taylor was taken after his retirement from State, from his most recent position working at a Soros funded organization!))

Has she started crying yet....

[goldstategop]

He had the right to fire her. Goes to the President’s constitutional prerogative to name and dismiss officials.

Not an impeachable offense. Yovanovitch can complain about that all she wants today.

So what? And she still can’t credibly establish alleged presidential wrongdoing on a direct basis.

[Texas Eagle]

She's a lesbian? Okay. I must say, Adam Schiff was certainly inclusive in his casting couch auditions. I doubt if Harvey Weinstein showed that much "tolerance".

At least based on those who have come right out and admitted that's how they got their roles.

[Sacajaweau]

She left in May....so none of this has anything to do with her.

[Hildy]

What a whiner. Disgruntled employee.

[Hildy]

Basically she just said that foreign ambassadors should never be fired. Screw her.

[ken in texas]

re. And she still can’t credibly establish alleged presidential wrongdoing on a direct basis.

But that doesn't matter... she got her feelings hurt. ;-)

[wbarmy]

I went to her Wikipedia page and it has all the information from today’s testimony, already listed on the page. I think it has her closing statements too.

Has she actually finished her testimony yet?

[Rustybucket]

This TODAY is her second deposition. The first was in a closed door session. Hew wikilinks page has been redacted, but refers to her first testimony.

Now that the Demoncrats have had their say, It will be interesting to see what the Republicans have to say to her. So far, most of her statements are feelings, few facts, lots of assumptions, and many questions relating to events AFTER she left the Ambassadorship.
It should be noted that after her ouster, she did not languish in the unemployment lines long.

After being ousted as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Yovanovitch became a Senior State Department Fellow at Georgetown University’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy.

Media always stands up for a slacker because they are one.

[dfwgator]

The Media just tries to shoe-horn everything in a way that is negative for Trump.

[Vaduz]

Indeed it’s why the sane don’t trust them.

O.K. But:

Brietbart has a giant error in their report.

They cite this quote from the new president of Ukraine:

“Zelensky told Trump: “It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.” Asked if she urged Letsenko “not to prosecute” individuals or entities, she responded, “Conversations about, ‘You need to be sure that, you know, there is a real case that is not politically motivated, that this isn’t just harassment and pressure — so those conversations, you know, certainty took place.”

and Breitbart claims the quote is in reference to the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. It is in fact the Ukraine ambassador to the U.S. that Zelensky is talking about.
