The recording is from April 2018

She wasn’t fire until April 2019

Maybe that was the last straw.

Bad mouthing your boss is never a good idea. Try it.

Wait. You are a gov worker. You can’t be fired.

Never mind.

I don't understand why our President screws around with issues like this.

Just call the Secretary of State and tell him you want her out of there by the end of the day.

That would be the "recording" abc fully characterizes, but somehow fails to provide. Thanks, but I'll wait to hear it myself.


Oh, and . . . .

Nah, it is obvious Trump tried for a year to have her killed but then had to resort to simply firing her...

ABC is harping on Trump use of the phrase "take her out!" Got it? There's the gotcha! Trump had put a hit out on Poor, poor Marie.


"Get rid of her!" is what the voice that appears to be President Trump’s is heard saying. "Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it."
I just heard PBS repeat this same thing.

Crap, new article of impeachment by sun down, "Trump discussed firing ambassador he did fire a year later, without the approval of LTC Vindman. Disloyal ambassador still pissed at him."

Saying "last straw" means that it was part of the reason for firing (actually just recalling her from Ukraine) her. And that reason was based on a lie told by random donors.

Trump showed how easily manipulated he was.

The president can fire an ambassador literally because he doesn’t like her ugly face.

We know that. His Chief of Staff ignored the requests because he knew the story behind the request.
