Ousted Ukraine ambassador Yovanovitch says she was told to tweet praise of Trump to save her job

In Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump referred to Yovanovitch as"bad news.", months ahead of her scheduled departure, after coming under attack from right-wing media, which alleged she was hostile to the president. Her departure set off alarm bells among Democrats in Congress but the State Department said at the time her exit was planned.

Yovanovitch testified to House investigators Oct. 11 that Trump had personally pressured the State Department to remove her, even though a top department official assured her that she had"done nothing wrong." Yovanovitch said during her testimony that after she was abruptly recalled from her post in the spring, Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan told her that the president had lost confidence in her.

Yovanovitch, a career diplomat who said she was informed of her ouster in April, said in her opening statement that she was"incredulous that the U.S. government chose to remove an ambassador based, as best as I can tell, on unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives.

If he tweets you must impeach

FakeNews

Please, show proof of these allegations. If your news agency can’t, you are the problem of this country. You don’t like the other party so you falsely proclaim lip service with NO PROOF. The ones need to be taken out to the cleaners are y’all.

ImpeachTrumpNow payback !! mealsonwheels

She was Obama appointed. Should have been fired immediately.

Sorry to go on, but didn’t think much about Padre Pio with stigmata, healings as enough to be a saint! But after told that part, it’s a phrase all should use, especially when something happens, especially when it quickly combines the Jesus and Mary the unseprable, against Evil.

Sounds like she should have listened to her orders. These people realize they work for the POTUS not themselves....

Padre Pio was in a bind, this entity came into the confessional saying all the things he had done to kids, men, women, etc and Pio he just couldn’t forgive it, but kept listening as Pio silent,the entity said you are supposed to say Jesus Lives Forever,Mary Lives Forever,vanished

Outrageous!

😂😂😂She’s an Obama stooge. Trump should have ousted her long before he did

So what! She got fired, so what!

Kiss the ring. Just like the founding fathers imagined it.

Who told her to do that? Is there corroboration?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jesus F'ing Christ, wth is wrong with these people?

trump is all about being praised. What an IDIOT. If U want something from trump, start praising him. Putin, the Turkish leader, Kim Un, they all praise trump even if they're lying (which probably are). Behind his back, they are laughting. Right now he is buying the GOP. SHAME

Thank you Amb. Yovanovitch . You are an American Patriot, Hero.

That is TOTAL bullshit......

Interesting...can you say 'disgruntled'..?

Yep a written transcript like Obama’s birth certificate? Dam...

😡

There's no bottom to this presidency. We have fallen to such depths, it's going to take years to recover

I so don’t believe they have subddenly come up with another witness. First prove alll your other accusations. OMG were sick of this🤢

The corruption within the repugnant cult party continues unabated…

Dude!!! I mean really? Is he that hungry for praise? If so, the leading terrorist can tweet a fake complement and be granted passage into the US.

Is there no one in charge to bring order & consequences?

That is too stupid to be true

It’s called strategic communication. If you can’t do that, then you should be removed. But hey, communicating that the US is doing good in Ukaraine to the world and the communicating privately to Congress is old school statesmanship...

unbelievable!

Bullshit!

Not surprising, but very disturbing.

United States of North Korea

You stroke whatever it is you need to stroke and you get to stay. That's how it works with this crew.

I'm out of words.

Yeah, it’s called ingratiating yourself with your new boss. Everyone has to do it. You guys are such snowflakes.

CNN SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer That’s an impossible thing 4 her to do. No one can write praise Trump unless they are nuts, a member of the Republican congress or liars! Stand up to corruption. Our democracy and constitution are at risk! Vote blue 2020 if he is not impeached!

She’s a proven lying Trump hater. President Trump has the right to fire whomever he wants too, whenever he wants too! She wasn’t doing her job and working against him!

dearleader

Look at the horror happening to the USA under the hands of the GOP and propaganda Fox News.

Extortion? US taxpayers don't fund government workers who only agree to praise the dear leader.

Really? Best she can come up with. Back on high school. God bless us and save us.

Good for you for not falling victim to trumps bullying!!!

Concerning this situation there’s only one transcript that really matters...

Former_Marine_

The Bich was an Obama appointee. If she talks Bad about or President, the President can Change her employment status in a heartbeat and there is NOTHING She can do about it but to continue complaining!

Heresy.

Seems problematic.

Everything about trump is F..... Up

That I believe! The little boy Preist ravaged Donald John Trump will do anything! I mean anything to be just recognized!

USA lol 😂...democracy lol 😂...this is pure dictatorship!

Nobody should need any job that bad! Upstanding,honest people will always find another job. Trumps wimpy peons however will need food stamps once their complicit a$$es are found complicit. Oh yeah,no food stamps anymore.

This is equal to No Korea’s baby narcissist dictator. That’s not just redundant it’s tridunant !!!

This administration is beyond pathetic.

Omg. Seriously. Omg. When the hell will this sh*t end. Seriously

yevhenfedchenko I wouldn't trust her on anything as it relates to Ukraine.

Let the SNL skits begin😂😂😂

No one should be surprised what this narcissistic president does or asks for.

Of course she was. Does this surprise anyone?

selectedwisdom NevertelessSheDidNot Individual1MustGo

But why? She didn’t work for Fox News did she?

Redrum_of_Crows

CatsChocolates GOP Senators were told to do the same thing. They did.

Sweet Jesus. Imagine how much crap that is going on that we will never hear about.

Is this impeachable?

She’s there to work to achieve the policy goals set forth by the president, not conduct her own shadow diplomacy. Good riddance!

🇺🇸OMG. How is it even possible that Trump is still President? He has literally turned EVERYTHING into his own personal Reality Show. I can’t wait until he’s impeached and dragged from the Oval Office amid shouts of “You’re FIRED!”

When in Rome!

I call bull-crap... she's a disgruntled employee, fired for doing a poor job. Not believing a thing she says. lookatthenumbers. americaiswinning

It’s a whole dictator.

DoomCrewDrake ohshitohshit OH SHIT.

WTF !!!

Why are we getting drips of testimony? Thought this was secret?

The GOP and Conservative Christian's seem to have never learned the bible lesson of not praying to false idols i.e. Golden Calf Trump.

I totally believe her! Just look how he acts and reacts! If you say anything negative he attacks but smile sweetly and agree with him then your OK. He’s NOT presidential or fit to be president! He can’t even run his businesses successfully 8 bankruptcies

Such a frail little boy.

Trump Advisers Pushed Unproven Theory on Ukraine, Mueller Documents ShowPresident Trump’s skepticism of Russian involvement in the 2016 election, and a belief that Ukrainian officials were working to support his opponent, appear to have been fueled in part by senior advisers dating back to that year’s campaign, according to newly released documents. Oh come on! Trump sucks. He is a stooge of the Russian government and you know it. His 'senior advisors' were his buddies. Nothing more. Nothing less. Americans deserve so much more than this.

Will some GOP Senators go against Trump over Ukraine call?Every House Republican stood by Donald Trump this week, voting against the resolution to endorse an impeachment inquiry. Are Republicans in the Senate as apparently aligned with the president, or will some break ranks—particularly over the Ukraine call controversy? Jonathan Capehart in for Joy Reid and his panel discuss. If you can’t see who Trump really is then your mind is truly messed up. They think they're going to be able to use our security or military are National Guards against the American people for them. that's why he always talks about he made the military better that's why he went overseas at that base passing out his hats 1/2 Trump has more Republican, independent, black, and Hispanic support than any Republican in the last 40 years what are you talking about.. landslide 2020
