Also @MZHemingway, on March 5, 2019, Marie Yovanovitch violated Geneva and outraged Ukrainians by calling for the firing of a special anticorruption prosecutor in a speech.

That alone is grounds for removal, not that POTUS needs a reason. B/C he doesn't.
@MZHemingway Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Donald Trump for firing Marie Yovanovitch. That would be because she was loyal to Petro Poroshenko, whom he defeated in a landslide due to corruption and, because of something everyone knows, the U.S. Embassy in Kiev is dirty.

@MZHemingway The anti-corruption reformers in Ukraine view Marie Yovanovitch as part of the old corrupt order, and as someone who would undermine the new regime because she favored Petro Poroshenko.

And she did just that on March 5, 2019.

Last tweets of the night after the show with @Gingrich_of_PA to answer this great DM question.

How is Louisiana so red on the presidential level and elects Democrats on the gubernatorial level?

Simple version...
@Gingrich_of_PA Ed Rispone put on a good show. But John Bel Edwards is a popular incumbent and rather conservative. It clearly helped him in Southern Catholic region and even to some extent the Northern Protestant area. On the presidential level, Democrats are nowhere near that conservative.
@Gingrich_of_PA That said, the early vote for John Bel Edwards was not at all impressive. But he did two things.

1. He hit targets where it counted (Orleans, East Baton, etc)
2. He did better than expected in the Election Day vote, which is not something the president should take lightly.

Ugh. While this is encouraging, it's still just one piece against a national media that openly mocks the idea.

In general, Republicans don't have a "minority" voter problem. They have an urban/metro minority voter problem.

There's a BIG difference.
But click on the link in that Vox article highlighted by "given Trump’s well-documented history of racism" and it's a joke.

Being pro-death penalty after a rape-murder is not evidence of racism. You stupid tool.

That entire timeline of "evidence" is ridiculous. So stupid.
More @voxdotcom evidence Trump is a racist includes:

"Trump has repeatedly referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as 'Pocahontas'"

"At the 2016 Republican convention, Trump officially seized the mantle of the 'law and order' candidate — an obvious dog whistle"

Simpletons.

1. Well, this doesn't happen very often. But I pretty much agree with this #LAGov analysis on CNN.

Republicans have a built-in advantage and actually did far better with Indies down ballot than other races. But at the top, they didn't do as well.

2. Republicans tend to drop off in runoff elections in LA, albeit by a few points. But when you have a popular incumbent like Bel Edwards, it's not a few points you can afford.

Personally, I thought Abraham was the stronger GOP candidates vs. Bel Edwards.

It'll be close...
3. It'll be close but 1) D gubernatorial candidates perform strongly statewide in LA, historically a long track of just that. But 2) if Rispone does pull it out, it'll be because of that last rally.

Remarks by Ambassador Yovanovitch

To ensure the integrity of anticorruption institutions, the Special Anticorruption Prosecutor must be replaced. Nobody who has been recorded coaching suspects on how to avoid corruption charges can be trusted to prosecute those very same cases.

State officials confirmed that Soros’ foundation and the U.S. embassy jointly funded the AntiCorruption Action Centre, and that Soros’ vocal role in Ukraine as an anticorruption voice afforded him unique access to the State Department, including in 2016 to the top official

.@RepAdamSchiff and @HouseIntel’s next hearsay “witness” is Marie Yovanovitch.

In March, 2019, a few weeks before Ukraine’s presidential election, Yovanovitch called for the firing of a prosecutor aligned with the incumbent president.

The Geneva Convention strictly mandates that foreign diplomats “have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of that State” that hosts them.
Yovanovitch did give a speech on March 5, 2019 calling for Ukraine’s special anticorruption prosecutor to be removed. You can read it here: ua.usembassy.gov/remarks-by-amb…

I read the deposition of M. #Yovanovitch. There are deliberate material omissions (perjury). I can write it up, if there is interest.

The people questioning her are not informed enough to catch it. A 2-headed-debacle: Very sloppy.
@Jim_Jordan @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani
@Jim_Jordan @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani 1/ Here #Yovanovitch is truthful:

She says prosecutions in #Ukraine are used to extort money & Ukraine is "not a rule of law country." (That's polite-speak for 'Ukraine is a corrupt mafia crap pile.') 30 years we've been pouring money into Ukraine. THAT is a reason to cut aid.
@Jim_Jordan @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani 2/ Here #Yovanovitch admits she intervened to protect the head of Ukraine's so-called National Anti Corruption Bureau (NABU) from prosecution.

One problem, is the NABU chief can be heard on tape admitting to trying to help @HillaryClinton win the 2016 election.

*shuffling* nope not here...

*papers rustling* nope, nothing here either...

Looks like I'm all out of fucks to give today. Fresh out.

TIME TO READ THE WHISTLEBLOWER SCREECH!!
