So this is why Trump doesnt want officials to testify

Now we see why the Trump administration doesnt want officials to testify in the impeachment inquiry.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) released the first batch of transcripts Monday from the closed-door depositions, including that of Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine removed from her post by President Trump at the urging of his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
<<snip>>
Yovanovitch detailed a Hollywood-ready tale about how Giuliani and two of his now-indicted goons hijacked U.S. foreign policy as part of a clownish consortium that also included Sean Hannity and a corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor. Their mission: to oust the tough-on-corruption U.S. ambassador who threatened to frustrate Giulianis plans to get Ukraine to come up with compromising material on Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
Mike Pompeo has a cameo as the feckless secretary of state who refuses to stand up for his diplomat out of fear of setting off an unstable Trump. It all culminated in a 1 a.m. call from States personnel director telling Yovanovitch to get on the next flight out of Kyiv. Why? She said, I dont know, but this is about your security. You need to come home immediately.
Yovanovitch, overcome with emotion at one point in her testimony, said she later learned that the threat to her security was from none other than Trump, who, State officials feared, would attack her on Twitter if she didnt flee Ukraine quickly.

(81,261 posts)Id LOVE LOVE LOVE to see that-guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-VANITY publicly shamed and (dare I hope) destroyed!
I dont like using his actual name. Because thats all he lives for: his name in lights on every marquee and billboard, and spoken in public, preferably often and in hushed tones. As long as he can be a big-ass rich, famous, influential, admired, envied, and supremely well-connected celebrity, its all good.
So THATS what I yearn for and will do what I can to work toward.
