Marie Yovanovitch admits Obama admin prepped her on Hunter Biden

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified Friday that the Obama administration was so concerned about Hunter Biden’s job on Burisma’s board of directors that she was asked prep questions about the issue by White House staffers before her 2016 Senate confirmation.

In response to questions from GOP counsel Stephen Castor, Yovanovitch testified at the House Intelligence Committee’s second public impeachment hearing that she had been informed about the lucrative gig Hunter Biden landed with the petroleum producer — which paid the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden as much as $50,000 a month despite his seeming lack of relevant experience — but took no action when she arrived at her post.

Ukraine has been a mess for a long time.

The remake of The Italian Job made a joke about it...

I wonder how much Ukraine gave to the Clinton Foundation and how it was spent.

(HAT TIP TILLACUM)

Yovanovitch was a big time anti-corruption activist.

The night she was told she was being recalled, she was attending a memorial ceremony for a young Ukrainian woman
who had been fighting corruption and had acid thrown in her face and later died.

This was interpreted as a warning to other anti-corruption activists.

When Yovanovitch inquired why she was being recalled. She was told it was for security reasons.........

She cunningly linked two disparate events.

She was told to take the next plane to the United States. Normally her tour would have been over on 1 August.....she had just two weeks remaining when she left.

I thought she said she knew nothing about it?

She was both prepped and knew nothing about it. Similarly, Schiff both does not know the name of the "whistleblower" but will take action against anyone who mentions that name. They're democrats. Obvious lies are a job requirement.

I have even heard 80k. Just depends on who you talk to. Last Wednesday’s testimony it was 50k. I wish the republicans all agree on a single number and stick to it.

Hannity number is different from Jordan, Nunes, and newspapers. ...gezze

There should be a congressional investigation but not against Trump.

This is such a clown show and the RATS are leaving long trails of evidence of their complicity in their own crimes! What is it they’re so desperate to keep from being revealed to the American people?

She admitted knowing about the corruption yet did nothing. Did nothing because that was her job to coverup the corruption.

Yeah, when I watched part of her testimony, she said she was not familiar with Biden's association with Burisma. I thought that was odd. I mean, you are ambassador to a country known for corruption. The son of the sitting vice president lands on the board of directors of a company controlled by a known corrupt oligarch, and you don't even have a passing awareness?

Maybe she did...

They could vote to censure Trump


They could...

But as you say, their base would not be satisfied with this and President Trump would wear it as a BADGE OF HONOR.

SOURCE https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/11/exclusive-millions-went-to-bidens-and-kerrys-firm-rosemont-from-ukrainians-connected-to-1-8-billion-in-missing-funds-and-latvians-connected-to-whistleblower-ciaramella/11/15

EXCLUSIVE: Millions Went to Bidens and Kerry’s Firm Rosemont from Ukrainians Connected to $1.8 Billion in Missing Funds and Latvians Connected to Whistleblower Ciaramella!

Two days ago documents were released that show millions transferred from foreign sources to Hunter Biden, Devon Archer and John Kerry and his family! Documents reportedly leaked from the Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s office show complex money transfers from foreign sources into former President Obama’s Vice President and Secretary of State’s families –

Leaked documents from the Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s office indicate complex money transfers from foreign sources into the control of a “slush fund” owned and operated by Devon Archer, John Kerry Senior, John Kerry Junior, Heinz Jr, and Hunter Biden.

According to counter intelligence in Latvia around $4 million was obtained by Burisma Holdings Limited which was then transferred to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer –

According to the Department of Financial Monitoring (Counter-intelligence) of Latvia, the following sums of money were obtained from Busima Holding Limited (Cyprus) which is open at AS PrivatBank in Latvia:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/Biden-1.png

This describes the money transfer of $14,655,982 and $366,015 EUR from “Wirelogic Technology AS”, and $1,964,375 from “Digitex Organization LLP”. Further, part of the sums described above were transferred to Alan Apter, Alexander Kwasniewski, Devon Archer and Hunter Biden. Burisma Holdings then sent $3.5 million via Morgan Stanley to Hunter Biden and the John Kerry family via Rosemont Seneca –

BURISMA HOLDINGS LIMITED, during a period from November 18th 2014 to November 16th 2015 transacted 45 money transfers through MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY LLC in the sum of $3.5M dollars. The recipient of the money transfer is Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC. Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC is owned and operated by Devon Archer, the Kerry Family including John Kerry Senior, John Kerry Junior, Heinz Jr and Hunter Biden. All of whom are also listed as partners in the Rosemont Seneca Fund and other affiliated Rosemont Seneca companies.

A further review of the files released by the Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s office provide more damning evidence of corrupt actions by Obama’s Vice President and Secretary of State.

In April 2014 alone Rosemont Seneca received $110,000 from Burisma Holdings through PrivatBank and another $140,000 from Novatus Holdings through ABLV Bank in Latvia – Ukraine It’s also important to note that in April 2014, Hunter Biden was appointed to the Board of Directors of Burisma. As we reported previously, PrivatBank was controlled by Igor Kolomoisky and PrivatBank controlled Burisma –

I thought it was $68,000 a month...

The two numbers most often mentioned are $50,000/month and $83,000/month. See the page below for photos that appear to support the $83K figure.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/11/ukrainian-officials-release-records-of-46-payments-to-hunter-biden-from-burisma-holdings-38-payments-were-for-83333-totaling-over-3-1-million/

However, these payments were not made directly to Hunter Biden, but to his company, Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLCC. Biden's partner in the company, Devon Archer, presumably took a portion of that money. I have not seen a report of what that percentage was.

Bath House Barry has repeated over and over again, “I didn’t have a single scandal during my administration!” Is he really that arrogant or just incredibly retarded?

Hillary’s lawn jockey, the fundamental change idiot, is the oft seen combination of ignorance and arrogance. It is commonplace in a criminal mind.

A WEIRD number.

Not really. Open up the Calculator app on your PC and multiply 83333.33 by 12.
