So, it's #trashystefanik, is it? Why? Not happy that she pegged Yovanovitch for lying?

That's right. She knew that the #Obama #StateDepartment had assisted her in formulating answers about #HunterBiden and #Burisma as part of helping her to prepare for her #Ukraine appointment.

Yet, during the #ShamSchiff #impeachment hearing, Yovanovitch said that the subject of Hunter Biden/Burisma never came up in discussions with @JoeBiden or the #ObamaAdministration.

You can read her statement here:

intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

For your convenience, here's a JPEG of the relevant portion:

"Neither he nor the previous Administration ever raised the issue of either Burisma or Hunter Biden with me."

Nice.

Clean.

Straight forward.

A blanket denial.

And yet, #dafuq?

She knew when she submitted that statement to the @HouseIntel Committee that what she said was #FALSE, a #LIE, the #illicit #bastard #child of her own making.

Yes, she knew she was lying when she said it, and we know that she knew she was lying too.

How do we know that #Yovanovitch #lied?

Because, during her #deposition on October 11, 2019, she stated otherwise.

You can read that deposition ... except parts redacted (Hey #Schifty, what's the deal with hiding information?).

Here's a link to the depo transcript as altered by the @DNC operatives running the #House:

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6538…

The relevant passage is found on pages 150-151. Again, just for your convenience, here are JPEGs of the relevant portion:

So, as the deposition testimony shows, the #Obama #StateDepartment prepped #Yovanovitch for her #Senate confirmation hearing, by specifically asking her about #HunterBiden and his #appointment to the board of the #BurismaHoldings company.

Yet, in her written statement for the #ImpeachmentFarce testimony, she says the subject never came up with the #previous #administration.

How do we rate #Yovanovitch's lie?

No, it's not just smoking undies, and it's not just pants on fire, it's (wo)man on fire!!!!!
