Except that it gives Parnas more credibility and it hurts Trump’s credibility.

Expect the Democrats to drop some phony bombshell everyday the President's lawyers are presenting their defense.

No way they allow the President 24 hours to frame narrative.

The Democrats biggest problem is that outside of political junkies there is absolutely no one paying attention to this.

No one gives a shite and they only have themselves to blame for this as well with their fake wolf cries.

It undercuts a key dem talking point. That Yovanovitch was fired because she was preventing biden investigations.

This recording shows it was because people (with perhaps ulterior motives) were telling trump that she was bad mouthing him.

Read that again slowly.

What is troubling is people like you, who say one thing out of one side of their mouth, and then something completely different out of the other.

"For any reason" means he can fire her based on the word of some random donors that he claims he doesn't know, or that she has bad breath, or that her feet are too big, or that her tits are too small.

Makes no difference. Ambassadors work at the pleasure of the president. he can fire them if he doesn’t like their haircut if he wants.

I'm sure with her unique skill set she won't have a problem finding another job sponging off the system.

Oh, is that what it is? Sort of like if John Bolton were to testify, Trump would be out of office in 2 days?

Text messages released last week between Lutsenko (the corrupt Ukraine prosecutor general everyone wanted fired) and Parnas, who is in the room with trump during this recording, show Lutsenko agreeing to announce an investigation into Hunter Biden if Yovanovitch was removed. her well documented anti-corruption work there was in his way.

This is why your "trump was only fighting corruption lol" arguments ring so hollow. She was fighting corruption, very well, and Zelensky came in on that same platform, he was firing the old guard from day 1, and tried firing Lutsenko at the same time. He was essentially their Attorney General, yet he has no legal education or background, he was a product of the old govt Zelensky was elected to get rid of.

Afew weeks later trump is on the phone saying how great the guy is.

I wonder why Trump has lied and gone to such great lengths to disassociate himself with Parnas and Fruman when it’s clear that he knew them.

It makes you wonder why he put so much stock into what they said then if he now considers them to be untrustworthy.

It’s even possible that she didn’t bad mouth Trump. Has that bad mouthing been admitted by her to or documented somewhere else? If so, then I’ll agree that was the reason.

Was the bitch as shady as the rest of the players in this Ukraine cabal? If so, she should’ve been canned.

Your own image shows you are a liar.

All of these Trumpkins denying that this isn't a huge fricking deal.

Clearly you all need to understand a Republican President of the United States does not have the constitutional right to appoint and fire ambassadors.

Democrat Congress members must approve all actions.

How absolutely DARE HE!
