Bear in mind that the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch was "fired" after she was found to be obstructing investigations into corruption, including repeatedly denying Ukrainian officials visas to enter the United States. The Ukranian officials wanted to hand over to Trump administration officials, evidence of the Obama administration's misconduct. It would therefore appear logical that the Ukranians would seek alternate paths to transmit their message.

The DEputy Secretary of State, John Sullivan, said that Giuliani ran a smear campaign against Yovanovitch because she was not cooperating with Giuliani's efforts to get Ukraine to open an investigation against Biden.

That doesn't pass the smell test. The Prosecutor General of Ukraine couldn't get in contact with the U.S. to give them evidence of Obama's misconduct.

That's laughable.

Not laughable if the Prosecutor General was a Poroshenko guy. Poroshenko got his job because he was the Obama/American administration candidate over the EU candidates. Yovanovitch was a tried and true Democrat, Bill Taylor should have never been given the Ukraine gig, he was a Neo-Con never Trumper, and has more loyalty to Ukraine than the US, in my opinion.

Its rare that anything passes the smell test in DC these days.

Everything has been cry wolf against Trump. From Congress to the media.

Yet you are surprised when the American Public doesn't believe the latest cried wolf?

The House should vote to impeach... The Senate will acquit. This will galvanize the republican base. Map will turn red and we will have 4 more years of bullshite and nothing getting done in Congress.

Hope this sums everything up.
