Yovanovitch Was Honoring Acid-Murdered Anti-Corruption Activist When Recalled

Source: TPM

U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was holding an event to honor a murdered Ukrainian anti-corruption activists when she received the call from Washington that President Trump had booted her from her post.

Yovanovitch told the House impeachment inquiry on Friday that she was holding an event in honor of Kateryna Handziuk, an activist who died last year after being doused in sulfuric acid.

The corrupt circumstances that led to Yovanovitch’s removal show a stark contrast with the painful demise of Handziuk.

when they said she died from an acid attack, it reminded me of the acid they used to use in Breaking Bad to melt bodies. This is a different acid but either would be extremely destructive & very painful!!!

Anyone who could listen to that & not feel totally disgusted doesn't have a heart & probably not a soul either!! It's one thing to die but to die slowly in such a painful way is truly despicable!!

3. The current CIC is actually a Commander-in-Corruption or Commander-in-Crimes.

MF45 got caught at his own corrupt criminality. For the whole world to see, hear and read.

Arrogant pride before the fall.

Speaker Pelosi was prescient (again) when she said "he will impeach himself."

May karma visit him with just rewards.

As our brilliant Speaker has said, all roads lead to Putin.

For instance, he liked riddles. He was a good fisherman. He was also the best at getting you through the Dead Marshes.

Fuck Drumpft.
