Title: LIVE THREAD: Impeachment Inquiry DAY2
Post by: mystery-ak on November 15, 2019, 02:28:34 am
Friday Schedule...Nov. 15th

Friday, November 15: Former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, a career diplomat who says Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani pushed her out of her position earlier this year, will testify.

Marie Yovanovitch, the US's former ambassador to Ukraine, will be the third official to testify in the public impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump.

Yovanovitch was abruptly recalled from her position in May following what she characterized as a smear campaign against her by Trump and his longtime lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

The former ambassador will testify beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Friday to the House Intelligence Committee.

She is expected to vividly detail the shadow campaign Giuliani conducted to strongarm Ukraine into acceding to Trump's demands for politically motivated investigations.

I have two questions for Ms. Yovanovitch.

Did you in any manner convey a list of names of people who should not be p[rosecuted to anyone in the Ukranian  Republic?  Yes or no.

If yes then on whose authority did you do so?

If no then so the Ukrainian officials who say you did are liars?

They should have asked Ambassador Taylor about being pushed out of his position by Baraq Obama in 2009 and if it made him cry.

Yovanovitch opening statement from her deposition was very well-crafted.

She seems to have put real time into this one too. One moment: She notes she visited frontlines of a "hot war" to make sure U.S. assistance dollars were well-spent. She said she could hear the artillery.

Am I the only one stunned to see the RNC fighting back?  In all my life,I have never seen this happen. I HAVE seen them cringe and seem to weep many times when the Dims were telling lies on and slandering them,but I have never seen them fight back until day before yesterday,and today.

The one exception would be when Newt and his boys took over control of Congress for the first time in 40 years,but that only lasted for a week or so,as they opened their arms and accepted Dims into their ranks as newly minted Republicans,and then gave them leadership positions.

I was terrified that once Trump finishes his second term there will be a HUGE void in party leadership willing to stand toe to toe and fight the communists/Dims on the House and Senate floor,as well as the White House,but after seeing and hearing Nunes and several more,I have now taken heart.

Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors.

Something overlooked in all this Ukraine frenzy:

State Department anti-corruption efforts are generally ineffective at influencing foreign governments to reform, and the pretense that a few career US bureaucrats were about to clean up Ukraine but then Trump ruined it is absurd

I've read a few views like Max Boot's, what we can not forget is Ukraine suffers deep corruption.

Kateryna Handziuk was a reporter there, got an acid attack on her which usually doesn't kill a person but did kill her after months in a hospital.

@mystery-ak

It has LONG been MY opinion that twitter is for twits,but Trump seems to turned it into a political tool to bypass his handlers. Seems to me there has been a BUNCH of times that Dim heads have exploded and they lost all control after reading some of his twitter posts.

He has used it to turn the DNC into his personal bitch.

The president is bullying and smearing Yovanovitch as she testifies to facts in front of Congress. She's not smearing him or lying about him or making judgmental conclusions about him.

He's intimidating the witness in real time on Twitter.

Maybe,but when you are being attacked,it is in MY opinion,the time to counterattack. AND,since she was testifying and in no position to read or even hear the tweets,he was attacking her testimony,not her. She wouldn't have known a thing about it if Schiff hadn't interrupted her testimony to read it to her.

I find the fact that Schiff is so desperate he would do something like that as a very good sign that he is deeply worried  about the outcome of this dog and pony show from his POV.

While Democrats act like Trump firing a diplomat from her post in Ukraine is a horrific crime against America-

Just remember that Obama fired a highly decorated 4 star General from theater command in Afghanistan because one of his aides bruised Obama’s ego in Rolling Stone

Yep. Obama charged, prosecuted and jailed at least 8 whistleblowers in his administration. Look it up, because you won’t hear anything about this from the democrats or the media (but I repeat myself).

I don't really think anyone thinks that he won't be impeached.  The upset is going to be when the LIV voters think that because he was impeached by the House that means he'll be removed from office.

IMHO the other upset is going to be Robert presiding over the Senate hearings and I still believe that the Senate is going to vote against him.  The DEMS and the GOPe want Pence whom they can easily manipulate.

It has LONG been MY opinion that twitter is for twits,but Trump seems to turned it into a political tool to bypass his handlers. Seems to me there has been a BUNCH of times that Dim heads have exploded and they lost all control after reading some of his twitter posts.

He has used it to turn the DNC into his personal bitch.

Not that he needs my advice or permission, but keep the tweets Mr. President. It offers an effective counter narrative to the democrats and media (but I repeat myself) anti-Trump spin.

Is there a single "career diplomat," that "blew the whistle" on Hunter Biden and his father?

@truth_seeker

No. They all like their careers,and want to keep them.

Let's not forget that the son of John Kerry and two other prominent leftist Dims were also given board seats on the same Ukrainian corporation. It is unknown if any of them have ever attended a board meeting or even been in the Ukraine,but none the less they have board seats.

And NOBODY in the media is mentioning them.

Rep. Nunes yields time to Rep. Stefanik to ask Yovanovitch a question.

Schiff: "The gentlewoman will suspend"

From Townhall:


What Is He Afraid Of? Adam Schiff Again Refuses to Allow Elise Stefanik to Ask Questions

Katie Pavlich     |     Nov 15, 2019 1:00 PM


During the second half of questioning at Friday's impeachment inquiry hearing on Capitol Hill, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff shut down questioning of former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch from Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Schiff did so after Ranking Member Devin Nunes yielded his time to Stefanik.

"The gentlewoman will suspend," Schiff asked.

"What is the interruption for this time?" Stefanik asked. "This is the fifth time you've interrupted duly elected members of Congress."

"You're gagging the gentle lady from New York?" Nunes asked. "Mr. Chair, we control the time. It's been customary in this Committee that whoever controls the time can yield to whoever they wish. It seems appropriate that we let Ms. Stefanik ask her question."

@XenaLee

Also,take notice that NOBODY is talking about the Biden corruption as a separate issue. The whole focus is on Trump.

Nor is ANYONE anywhere that I know of reporting that Hunter Biden was only ONE of FOUR children of prominent Dims,including the son of Former Ambassador and US Senator John Kerry that were also given board seats on that same Ukrainian board,or suggesting THAT be looked into as possible corruption. You would THINK that the son of a former Sec of State being given a no-show seat on a board in a foreign nation as being worthy of looking at,but the media seems to think no one is interested.

I am hoping that once the dust settles on all this that Trump pays the Dims back by investigating and reporting on the corruption investigation into the board appointments of all these Dim Princes.

Ukraine opens case against ex-prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko

Oct 1, 2019


Authorities in Ukraine on Tuesday opened an investigation into a former government prosecutor who is indirectly connected to allegations that have prompted Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.Â

Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) opened criminal proceedings against Yuriy Lutsenko over his possible abuse of power, the government agency said.

It said that Lutsenko and other former lawmakers may have conspired to “provide cover” for illegal gambling businesses in Ukraine. Lutsenko disputes the allegations.

The claims were first raised by David Arakhamia, a member of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People party. In a Facebook post, Lutsenko said Arakhamia and state investigators “must have a great imagination to accuse me of this.”

Lutsenko was fired as Ukraine’s top legal official last month.

My wife just told me that she found out on "wiki" (FWIW) that Schiff's sister is married to George Soro's son. The connection of these people to the corrupt runs deep.

I'm getting a little nauseous at the constant and ongoing butt-kissing by the Democrats of Yovanovitch's rear end during this "Inquiry".   888mouth

@XenaLee

Their goal is to make Trump look evil,so they have no choice but to kiss her butt and declare she should be considered for sainthood. Every cry for sainthood is a slam at Trump.

This is where one has to be careful. I know I've heard it before but others say it is not so.

Quote
The photos are genuine, and it’s true that Robert Soros is George Soros’s son. He also married a woman named Melissa Robin Schiff in May 1992. In September 2017, the New York Post reported that they were estranged and divorcing.

But Melissa Schiff is not Adam Schiff’s sister. The wedding announcement that ran in the New York Times back in 1992 identifies her parents as Marlene Schiff and Haskel Schiff, both of New York.

BUT this is not conclusive as to excluding some sort of other relationship, cousins?? Something like that? The name Schiff is not that common and the article does not address that.

The Dow made a late afternoon jump to crack 28000. The financial markets don't seem very worried at all about today's sideshow, though I did hear one crackpot making the ridiculous claim that impeachment already factored in.

This is important because serious concerns about Trump's fate and a possible Warren presidency would crush the markets, and that in turn would stall economic growth heading into the election. That's one of the main ways dems hope their shenanigans will undermine Trump's support.

I am amazed too, but if all conflicting information can be dismissed as fake news, all your pesky questions can be ignored.  Ignorance is bliss.  What you are offering them is not bliss.

You can't make someone listen or believe, you can only keep asking the difficult questions and hope people come to a similar conclusion that the questions led you.

I don't agree with some of Snopes.com conclusions, but they do offer information and links to prove their points...what angers me is that Trumpers often offer their compromised opinions as counter arguments without anything to back it up, and then they get angry I don't accept their horsesh1t, even though they are convinced by their proud and deep faith in Trump.

@Applewood
OK, here's what I believe.  I believe George Soros son, Robert, is married to Melissa Schiff, daughter of Haskel and Marlene Schiff.  And I believe that Adam Schiff (plus any brothers or sisters he may have) is the son of Edward and Sherrill Ann Schiff.  Anyone with a functioning brain could determine from this that Robert Soros wife could not possibly be a sibling of Adam Schiff.  I came to this conclusion by doing my own research and applying a minimal amount of critical thinking, just as I explained the last time this very same topic came up on this board.  Note that I did not come to that conclusion simply because "Snopes says it ain't so".  I did my own research.  Capisce? 


If you had actually read the article, you would have seen that Snopes had evidence to back up their "claim."

Back in 2008, Snopes refuted the 'born in Kenya' rumor of one Baraq Hussein Obama by citing a newspaper clipping reporting the birth announcement and the Honolulu hospital he was born in.  The following year, Snopes amended their defense by citing a similar newspaper clipping of the birth announcement, but this time listing a different hospital.  There was no retraction.  There was no admission that they got it wrong the first time.  There was only this Orwellian replacement of old truth with new truth, as old truth disappeared down the memory hole.

Since then, I notice that Snopes regularly employs straw man defenses by twisting the original claim into one that they can justify as being false even though the main point of the original claim is not only true, but also supported by evidence.  Their strategy often is to find some minor point of a claim that is false, and then applying that 'false' label to the entire claim even though most of it may be true.

So no, I do not trust anything Snopes says.  And I will always challenge anyone who issues a comment beginning with "according to Snopes . . .".  Snopes is a tool that liberals employ because they are unable to think critically, and need some way to justify their beliefs without having to formulate a fact-supported argument.

Years ago I actually challenged "snopes" facts as the information that I had that was first hand differed.  Not only did they continue to post their b.s., they refused to answer my e-mail(s) any further.

From my understanding (and its been quite awhile since my contact with them) they make phone calls, and search the internet and then determine what they believe is credible and post it ... they don't actually go out and do their own research.  IOW as an example if there is a rumor that someone in IOWA is housing illegal immigrants, they don't actually go out and check that place in IOWA. They go by what they believe to be true and accurate Unless their method has changed for validating fact from fiction, they are NOT a reliable nor credible source.

@XenaLee

Also,take notice that NOBODY is talking about the Biden corruption as a separate issue. The whole focus is on Trump.

Nor is ANYONE anywhere that I know of reporting that Hunter Biden was only ONE of FOUR children of prominent Dims,including the son of Former Ambassador and US Senator John Kerry that were also given board seats on that same Ukrainian board,or suggesting THAT be looked into as possible corruption. You would THINK that the son of a former Sec of State being given a no-show seat on a board in a foreign nation as being worthy of looking at,but the media seems to think no one is interested.

I am hoping that once the dust settles on all this that Trump pays the Dims back by investigating and reporting on the corruption investigation into the board appointments of all these Dim Princes.

It's been argued that the desire to remove the Ukrainian prosecutor was one shared by our allies, so there's really nothing about which to be concerned.  I'm curious as to how that particular argument demonstrates a lack of corruption, or proves their weren't improper motives.  First, there is clearly an old guard/elites brotherhood where those types all kind of look out for each other where possible, and second, it's not like corruption is limited to just the United States.  If you had significant corruption going on there, there may have been all sorts of people affiliated with allied governments who wanted to bury that.
