Wasn’t she at the end of her term anyway?

Yup. He’s a damn gangster ...someone should take him out for long ride up north.

He’s her boss. She was undermining him. What do you people and her not understand, “you’re fired”.

I know you reeeaallly want this to come off like a mob-hit but it was just the firing of a poor performing and insubordinate representative. Would you like to know how many ambassadors Obama “took out”?

Yep. Caught doing what he can do as POTUS.

I’d fire her disloyal ass in a nano-second. It’s the President’s right to hire and fire ambassadors. Why is this a headline?

She’s outta hereeeeee

Yea get her and her ways outta here....she’s fired

So?

Trump looking for a date?🤡🤡🤡

Why would someone about to be fired, need to be under surveillance?

That's how it works when you are an 'at-will' employee and subverting your boss....

Obama ousted most of Bush's Ambassadors, that is a Presidents right.

She was awful. I hope she never works for the U.S. government again. Get a real job!!!

Wow, look at all the riled up trumpanzees and Russian bots in the reply thread.

Great decision made next to Comey being fired.

She should have been taken out when she refused to put the picture of her President (boss) on the wall at the embassy.

she is corrupt and dirty and was protecting the corrupt and dirty Bidens!

The ambassador serves at the pleasure of the President.

Trump has every right to choose who he wants as ambassador.

Cnnbc garbage comment no.17 for the day

ScottWapnerCNBC Don’t care! He can fire whomever he wants

Must be a slow news day Who cares

Mob talk. Comey was right

And? It’s allowed, Obama fired everyone of his ambassadors when took office. No one said a thing.

So What! She’s just a Presidential appointee - by Democrat Obama.

Get her out. Don’t be fake news

since when did it become wrong for a president to fire an ambassador

FAKE NEWS

So what...?

Okay - it’s his job to out the right people in jobs representing the US interests - he did his job - just because she had Leftist ties everyone is in an uproar. Hypocrites- every last one of the Left. Slime ball hypocrites

The whole Ukraine bullying is well orchestrated and even scripted for Ukraine President to read out. The sole objective was to provide Trump with a tool for him to use against Biden in the 2020 election. He did that with Wikileaks in 2016 and got away with it.

Good. Take out the traitor !!!

Quid Pro Hoe was also recorded with a billion dollar fiasco ....but crickets in the media

Lol. The President of the United States can fire or hire who he or she wants as ambassador.

Not soon enough.

You do understand that Ambassadors serve at the request of the President...right?

He is allowed to do that, HACKS! Funny, I can't remember you reporting out on this when Obama replaced most of Bush appointed Ambassadors. She wasn't fired! Just reassigned! GET HELP FOR YOUR TDS!

I've said much worse when terminating an active cancer in my organization. Big nothing burger here. Don't be a LiberalHack

The Hag was under FISA surveillance. They have the goods on her dirty dealings in Ukraine.

So .? 🤔

Lordy, we hope there are tapes.

So what? He’s got the legal constitutional right to do so for, or for no reasons

Caught? She was an Obama hold over and a subversive, according to reports. She served at his privilege.

You know who else got taken out? Epsteindidntkillhimself
