Due Process


I briefly wrote about former Ambassador to the Ukraine, Marie Yovanovich before ... see: Marie Yovanovich ... who testified recently in the House Intelligence committee’s impeachment inquiry hearings. ... chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff. This woman’s testimony reminded me a lot of Christine Blasey Ford’s performance in the Kavanaugh hearings — little girl voice, evasive answers to tough questions, sexist sympathy evoking.

President Trump tweeted during this hearing that everywhere Yovanovich was posted during her career, Somalia to the Ukraine, it ended up “bad.” This tweet was hardly witness intimidation, as claimed, because it was only after Adam Schiff read it during the hearing that Yovanovich knew about it.

Marie Yovanovich, under oath, said that the Ukraine had nothing to do with 2016 Trump election interference (see: CrowdStrike) ... she said it was only Russia that did this. If Chairman Schiff would allow Republicans to call their witnesses, perhaps this questionable claim could be refuted and the ambassador’s credibility shattered.

Unfortunately this won’t happen in the House. Perhaps, if Trump is impeached and tried in the Senate, it will?

Interesting that you cherry-picked your source for debunked CloudStrike conspiracy theories.
ZeroHedge is just another far right opinion blog, not a news organization. Oh and the editors hide behind pseudonyms, and you might be interested in their manifesto which upholds the need for remaining anonymous as a hedge against oppression.

It was the first reference that dealt with the details of the issue. Most sites just glossed over things. I sure would like to hear more of what Trump has heard and alluded to in the Zelensky call. Don’t you ... or are your fingers in your ears?

IMHO, your comparison between CBF and MY is inapt. The ambassador remembers all the details, the alleged events are corroborated by others, the perp is a known liar.


Well, now Trump has been invited by Pelosi to tell the committee the truth about what happened, under oath. That should clear things up once and for all.

ALL politicians know better than to testify under oath ... including Schiff and Pelosi ...
