(9,263 posts)and why witness after witness must reinforce what trump did was wrong and we must make hay about those who choose to ignore subpoenas and testimony as implication of guilt.

(9,263 posts)and why we need subpoenas enforced and witness sitting at the table all pleading "the 5th".
nothing settle the question of guilt better

Away from all the detail, it seems important that MSNBC, above the usual chyrons states:

(31 posts)Since Trump lies about everything, calling her "bad" is proof to sane people that she is the opposite. (Not to mention that it's criminal witness tampering.)

(80,700 posts)badmouthing you and lying and misrepresenting you - TO ANOTHER NATION'S LEADER.
You could tell she was still affected by that, and disturbed by that. A reputation takes a long time to build, and a few heated bullshit words on Twitter to destroy.

(6,283 posts)C-span just panned the dias and there are many empty seats, including Nunes and Jordan.
Could it be more obvious that they have no interest in hearing anything that might tarnish their Dear Leader.
Asshats.

You can hear the pain in her voice when she talks about how she was victimized. "33 years and this is how it ends?"
There are times I wish Hell existed for people like Trump and his ass kissers.

OldRed2450
(710 posts)It sounds like Trump put a hit out on Yovanovitch, or gave Putin the green light. The state dept found out and got her out.
gab13by13
(20,867 posts)they did want her to think that, to scare her badly so that she wouldn't testify. Without these brave people testifying we don't have nearly as strong a case. First hand knowledge baby.

(2,387 posts)the difference between the transcript read by Nunes (which was unexpected) of this first phone call and what the white house said was on this call a few months ago.....
..and what point to read this transcript today? What a huge blunder......

And the gop fools couldnt even get their whitewashing of the call right.
getagrip_already
(14,250 posts)All the outlets are talking about the opening remarks and 45 min segment. There is no republican talking point yet. they haven't asked a question.
All the outlets have is the first hour. Of course, the repugs have an extra hour or two to think up questions for their 45 minute segment, but they have had weeks anyway, so no real advantage there.
What a well planned vote.

(25,750 posts)she might be the John Dean of these hearings.
I have a friend who worked for the State Department for several years. She had a posting in Ukraine and Yovanovitch was there at the time -- not sure if she would have been ambassador then. My friend highly praises Yovanovitch. Calls her Masha, which is what she really goes by, at least informally/among friends/with coworkers.

(11,882 posts)Has probably already had 4 to 5 diapers changed after her exposing him more this morning, and a lot more coming daily. Corrupt republicans got to be kissing their futures good bye after the American people show their disapprove of all the corruption , lies, and for our Democracy being undermined by Putin and trump with their help. And this is only the beginning. This is getting better every day, and trump criminal buddy Stone just got convicted too
