Yovanovitch Testimony Receives Standing Ovation

- Ambassador's testimony the most credible to date; Roger Stone found GUILTY!

Spread The Love

Last week’s House impeachment inquiry testimony from former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was so thorough, so loaded with factual evidence, so damning against Donald Trump that as it concluded, it received a standing ovation.

Top News Today
After delivering 6 hours of testimony to the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, former Ambassador Yovanovitch is today being called a national hero.  The career diplomat with 33 years of experience under both Democratic and Republican presidents doesn’t have a partisan bone in her body.  She didn’t come to bury Donald Trump — she came to deliver the facts.  Too bad for him her facts didn’t gel with the version of “truth” he preferred to be told.

Yovanovitch Testimony

In the words of CNN, Yovanovitch’s testimony was “powerful, credible and moving.”  She told the tale of how she was removed from her post not because she failed to do her job but because she was doing it too well and too “by the book” for the free-wheeling Donald Trump.  She also told of how under Trump, US policy went from supporting anti-corruption efforts to combating them.

“Our Ukraine policy has been thrown into disarray, and shady interests the world over have learned how little it takes to remove an American Ambassador who does not give them what they want,” Yovanovitch said during opening remarks.  “After these events, what foreign official, corrupt or not, could be blamed for wondering whether the Ambassador represents the President’s views? And what U.S. Ambassador could be blamed for harboring the fear that they cannot count on our government to support them as they implement stated U.S. policy and defend U.S. interests?”

As the former ambassador spoke and systematically dismantled brick by brick the feeble argument by Trump and his GOP protectors that this is all a partisan witch hunt, Trump himself couldn’t stand to sit silent.  Instead, he broke ranks, went off script and tweeted a series of insults against Yovanovitch in what was seen as a bully-move meant to intimidate and undermine her truth.

“Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad,” a tempestuous Trump tweeted in real-time as Yovanovitch testified.  “She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him,” he continued.

Apparently, the ambassador’s air-tight testimony got under Trump’s thin-skin and he just couldn’t handle the truth.  That and the simultaneous news that his former flunkie, Roger Stone, was found guilty on ALL counts against him related to his dealings with ‘The Donald’ (expect Trump to pardon Stone as a reward for keeping his mouth shut).

How Donald Trump and the Republicans will continue down their unified road of attempting to coddle him and pretend that his actions in Ukraine and more are all OK is anyone’s guess.  Despite the fact that it’s a dead-end street and that more credible testimony from other credible witnesses is on the horizon, expect the Republicans to continue putting party above country and allowing the dangerous crook in the Oval Office to continue to make a mockery of democracy.

Thanks for this DJ. I only got to see a little of her testimony in real-time last week but I was able to watch more of it when C-SPAN reran it, over the weekend. Let me just say, the standing ovation she received was well deserved, especially given ALL that she’d already gone though – and then to have that evil-azz Fake alpha in the White attempt to bully her in real time no less!?!

Gotta be a special place in H*ll for creatures like Trump. I just have to believe that *his day of judgement* will be something he will FEEL for all of eternity.

Mr.BD

Hey Truth his day is going to come. That is going to be a standing ovation on that day too.

‘The GOP’s Jackson Pollock Impeachment Strategy’ Some Trump defenders say that the inquiry is both a pathetic, trivial nothingburger and a Constitution-shredding “coup” that will destroy democracy. Which is it? And by the way, the dictionary definition of “coup” is the violent or extralegal overthrow of a government. How a constitutionally prescribed procedure (that will almost surely fail in the Senate) qualifies as a coup is a mystery. Even dumber: If this “coup” were successful, the president of the United States would be . . . Mike Pence. What kind of coup leaves the regime and the second-in-command in place? It’s all so embarrassing.

..and Ooops! Looks like Sondland may be “revising” his original testimony AGAIN when he testifies later this week…. Wall Street Journal: ‘Sondland kept Trump administration officials briefed on Ukraine dealings’ Washington (CNN)The US Ambassador to the European Union kept several Trump administration officials briefed on his attempts to get Ukraine to launch investigations later discussed in Trump’s July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, emails reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show. The emails reviewed by the Journal show Gordon Sondland — who testified last month he was directed by Trump to work with Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine — kept acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Energy Secretary Rick Perry informed of his push for the country to launch investigations in the weeks leading up to Trump’s July 25 call with his Ukrainian counterpart. A rough transcript of the call released by the White House shows Trump… Read more »

Apparently, former Ambassador Yovanovitch received another ‘spontaneous ovation’ last night……

The Hill: ‘Yovanovitch receives standing ovation at DC jazz club after impeachment testimony’

Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd at a Washington, D.C., jazz club on Sunday night, days after her dramatic congressional testimony in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

Lisa Dickey, an author, shared a video of the crowd at Blues Alley Jazz greeting Yovanovitch with cheers and calls of “thank you” as she made her way to her seat. […] Nov. 18, 2019

Mr.BD

Trump is so dumb he does not even realize how he is tampering with the witnesses. The way he was tweeting insults at Yovanovitch while she was still speaking is going to come back to bite him. Plus I heard he is going to do the same for the other witnesses coming up this week. When will his stupid followers stop listening to him and recognize all these people cannot be lying and he is the one whose lying. Stop making this about Repub or Dem and go back to making it about America.

Hear! Hear!..BD. This isn’t about “Dem vs Repub.” It’s about Our country. The United States of America. ‘Land that I love.’ But therein lies the main problem with Trump followers. They don’t give a fig about this country. They don’t care that Trump’s a pathological liar, a crook and Fake alpha. And they certainly don’t give a fig about the rule of law.

I’ve said it many times. For most of his followers, they support him because in so many ways, he’s a reflection of them.

Mr.BD

You hit it on the head Truth. He empowers his followers. They think if somebody like him can become president maybe they are not as dumb as they have been told all their life.
