Yovanovitch: I Was Victim Of "A Campaign Of Disinformation" Using "Unofficial Back Channels"
RCP Video ^ | 11-15-2019 | Tim Hains

Posted on 11/15/2019 9:32:44 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch has told Congress that attacks from corrupt interests have created a crisis at the State Dept.

(snip)

She (Yovanovitch) told lawmakers that she was the victim of “a campaign of disinformation” that used “unofficial back channels” leading to her removal from Ukraine. She says it “continues to amaze” her that Americans partnered with “Ukrainians who preferred to play by the old corrupt rules” in pushing for her removal.

Yovanovitch is also sounding alarm that senior State Department officials did not defend her from attacks from the president’s allies, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. She is telling lawmakers about a “crisis in the State Department.”

She says: “The State Department is being hollowed out from within at a competitive and complex time on the world stage.” (all emphasis mine)

For those who didn't follow the live tv hearing.

Basically, Day 2 of Adam Schiff's 'star witness's claim boils down to (1) she's been fired by Trump. And (2) State Dept careerists' facing jeopardy with their cozy assignments...

The official front channels were all blocked up with Obama appointees.

Ambassador Bovanobitch, serves at the pleasure of the President and could have been fired for wearing white after Labor Day, if that was what the President wanted to do.

This is such a farce.

Silly woman, still has no clue why ‘we the people’ voted for Donald J. Trump. We witnessed how much love and care Ambassador Stephens was given in Benghazi by the sea. Republicans ought to demand her bank records and tax returns.

As an ambassador, she serves a constituency of one: The President. It is his prerogative to fire her for any reason. Even if he simply doesn’t like her hairstyle.

The President’s perogative. The Deep State doesn’t like it. 2/3rds of the State Department needs to be fired.

You are not a “victim”.

Because of people like you, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights are the real victims.

Were it up to this Oathkeeper, YOU would be placed in handcuffs, leg irons and then charged with Treason.

I would have fired this witch back in January 2017, so from where I sit, she is lucky she was on the gravy train as long as she was, being a whiny, corrupt, seditious, incompetent bureaucrat.

every president has “envoys.” Rudy was President Trump’s “envoy” to Ukraine.

Joe BiteMe Biden said the Ukrainian prosecutor was corrupt and fired the son of a Bitch with the threat of withholding a billion dollars in federal loans.

So where is the evidence of that prosecutor’s corruption?

This shill is projecting what Obamunists are guilty of.
