We previously learned that U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch gave Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko a do not prosecute list during their first meeting. “Unfortunately, from the first meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, [Yovanovitch] gave me a list of people whom we should not prosecute,” Lutsenko, who took his post in 2016..
Bombshell: Fired Ukraine Ambassador Apparently Concealed Collusion with Dems Before Impeachment
Report: Impeachment Witness Marie Yovanovitch Caught in Apparent Falsehood Under Oath
Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who was fired by President Donald Trump in May, misled lawmakers in her testimony she gave as part of House Democrats’ impeachment probe, according to a report.
Story continues below advertisementBy Kristina Wong, Breitbart, November 8, 2019:
Yovanovitch testified behind closed doors on October 11 that in mid-August, a Democrat House Foreign Affairs Committee staffer had reached out to her on her personal email with a request to come and talk to the committee about the circumstances of her departure.
She claimed that she received the email and alerted the State Department.
“So she emailed me. I alerted the State Department and, you know, asked them to handle the correspondence. And she emailed me again and said, you know, who should I be in touch with?” she said.
“It wasn’t clear to me whether it was going to be whether this was a discussion with her, whether this was a discussion with other staffers, whether it was a deposition. I mean, it just didn’t get that far, because I transferred that information to the State Department lawyers,” she said.
When asked specifically what the staffer wanted to talk about, she said, “I think I think it was the circumstances of my departure, or maybe she just kept it more general and said to catch up, but I understood it as that.”
Yovanovitch said she knew the staffer, who was a former State Department official who worked at the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
Fox News’s Tucker Carlson got a hold of the staffer’s email to Yovanovitch — and her reply.
The staffer’s email said, “I’m writing to see if you would have time to meet up for a chat — in particular, I’m hoping to discuss some Ukraine-related oversight questions we are exploring. I’d appreciate the chance to ground-truth a few pieces of information with you, some of which are quite delicate/time-sensitive and, thus, we want to make sure we get them right.”
Contrary to what she implied to lawmakers, Yovanovitch actually did respond to the staffer, saying that she looked “forward to chatting with you.”
Carlson also revealed that the staffer sent the email on August 14, 2019 — just two days after the “whistleblower” complaint was filed and before the public was aware it existed.
Carlson asked, “The question is, did Schiff’s office tell other Democrats on Capitol Hill what was in the complaint? In other words, how long did this effort play out in secret before the rest of the country learned of it?”
Shortly after the outreach to Yovanovitch was made through her personal email, the New York Times reported on August 21, 2019, that Rudy Giuliani had “renewed his push for the Ukrainian government to pursue investigations into political opponents” of Trump.
On September 9, 2019, Democrat chairmen of the House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Oversight Committees launched a “wide-ranging” investigation into “reported efforts by President Trump, the President’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and possibly others to pressure the government of Ukraine to assist the President’s reelection campaign.” They cited the Times report.
The Trump administration released the “whistleblower” complaint on September 26, 2019.
It was later reported by the New York Times that the “whistleblower” went to Schiff’s office before filing the complaint on August 12, 2019. The paper reported that Schiff’s staff passed on the “outlines” of the “whistleblower’s” concerns to Schiff and instructed the “whistleblower” to get legal representation and file a formal complaint with the intelligence community inspector general.
Schiff would then demand that the complaint be released to Congress and claim that he and his office had no prior contact with the “whistleblower” before the complaint. After the Times story, his staff said he meant that he personally had no contact with him, and that the committee had not done a formal interview with him.
A spokesperson for the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Democrat members told Fox News, “The Committee wanted to hear from an ambassador whose assignment was cut short under unusual circumstances. This staff outreach was part of a months-long effort that culminated in the September 9 launch of an investigation into these events.”

Dumb ass, you never mentoned Kel-Tec or Calico, you mentioned AR15 and AR16 and there is no such thing as a full auto semi. The M-16 is a selectabe rifle unless you hold a FFL, you can’t own one. You need some english classes in order to write proper, geez your a spastic wonder.

A lying Halfrican holdover? Naturally, besides the fact she had a good teacher, it is a job requirement that was gauged in her employment interview.
You remember, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period.”

Pres. Trump should and has the absolute right to replace every diplomatic holdover , in fact should already have done so. They serve at the President’s pleasure. Clearly any leftist appointed diplomat is not serving our President.
