American Oversight @weareoversight got batch of emails tonight from State Depart related to effort by Trump administration to pressure Ukraine. 44 pages in total but nothing new in these. Sometimes FOIAs turn up new stuff. Sometimes not. Still worth trying americanoversight.org/state-departme…
@weareoversight The email exchange does show a State Department lawyer telling an attorney for ex Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch NOT to testify before the House impeachment inquiry
The lawyer for ex-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch had a firm reply: She is going to testify anyway. "She is unable to obey your most recent directive" The rest is history.
The outlines of this were known in October. But until now, I at least had not seen these letters back and forth between the lawyers. Here was a statement put out in October, when State tried to stop Yovanovitch from testifying.
