WTAF! State Department Consulted HANNITY?!?! On what to do about Yovanovitch?!?! JFC!

This admin needs to be fucking disassembled. Like yesterday!

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/11/state-department-consulted-with-hannity-to-decide-fate-of-ousted-ukraine-ambassador-bombshell-testimony/?fbclid=IwAR3u-erpiT8mGeyviWAHq4-tnk8lX6Yya_2pyWoCc0w4gjgWJshNtNrJM-c

The transcript of testimony released by the House of Representatives Monday shows that Yovanovitch was asked by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) if she ever knew how Secretary of State Mike Pompeo felt about the attacks being made on her by Donald Trump Jr. and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.

Yovanovitch replied that she was told that State Department officials would get to the bottom of it by consulting with Hannity.

I was told… that the Secretary or perhaps somebody around him was going to place a call to Mr. Hannity on Fox News to say, you know, what is going on?” she said. “I mean, do you have proof of these kids of allegations or not? And if you have proof, you know, tell me, and if not, stop.”

Yovanovitch went on to say that the call was apparently placed to Hannity, although she can’t say for sure who at the department spoke with the Fox host.


This is fucking outrageous.

the liberal news media . . . apologies, he made that allegation within the last 24 hours, even though it seems like ancient past.

Anyway - can we say projection?

Project your own failings on your political opponent. Not only will they have to defend against it, but it takes the eye off you. Worse-case scenario: you're no worse than your opponent if your own failing is uncovered.

At this point, do any of of us expect anything from the Dump administration that isn’t so stupid it makes your eye twitch?

I hear Oklahoma commuted 423 inmates sentences today, the largest ever. Are they making room for the KGOP cabal?

When somebody asks, "what will you do for me? if I do this for
you?" That's kiss ass.

It has been my life story surrounded by kiss asses.

I am a Democrat in a red state.

13. Bagdad Bob's clone Hannity met with WikiLeaks Assange 2017 Claiming...

Clinton was colluding with the media both agreed. Hannity's website hosts rusky trolls. A woman received a tweet mistakenly sent by Assange notifying Hannity that WikiLeaks had dirt on Senator Warner to deliver.

Boycott FOX Reality TV news propaganda!

I don't think we're done hearing about Bagdad Bob Hannity!
