Barry left office? Looks like she replaced a guy who was sent to Greece as an ambassador, Geoffrey Pyatt. Can’t find much info on why he was sent to Greece but with a corrupt country like Ukraine and with the Biden’s neck deep in Ukraine and with a Clinton presidency almost assumed, it seems like a reasonable question to ask.

Anyone?

She was put in place to block any investigation into Bidens corrupt activities in Ukraine

This Ukraine mess needs a lot of Q+A attention.

Im thinking it more likely it was to ramp up activities given Hillary was a 98% favorite to win.

The average "tour" for a career person as ambassador is 3 years. The Summer of 2016 he had just finished his "tour" that he started in the Summer of 2013.

Fair enough.
But Yovanovitch served about 3 years in Ukraine. So why the melt when she was asked to leave?

Yovanovitch is a protege of Ambassador Nick Burns. Nick Burns is currently advising the Biden campaign, Burns was probably expecting a pretty high job in the Clinton administration and was just putting his people in place.

The US Foreign Service is worse then the Mafia. I used to think DoD was bad with it's "mafias" but they barely know the meaning of guile.

Foreign service is a joke, it had its place back in the days of our founding fathers, but once telephones were invented it should have been shite canned. Instead it morphed into this huge deep hole, combine it with UN, UNAid, IMF, IDB, World Bank, USAID, and its billions and billions of waste at best, and corruption at worst....probably the latter.

Why didnt she offer her resignation when Trump won, which is customary?????

Had a little planting and harvesting to do while covering up the real issues.

Because she is career foreign service. They pretend to be non-partisan, but they are for the most part the most liberal globalists in the the federal government. They were and she is no exception were subversive during the Bush administration.

A related question.

She could be removed at Trump's discretion, so why the effort by Giuliani (and others) to spread negative information about her?

Doesn't make sense.

I've seen that mentioned but don't think I've actually eyed the specifics. Is there citation or link that will lead me to that info?

**quotations from Giuliani, ideally.

Wasn't she the one the Ukrainian prosecutor gave all the shite about election interference to?

Won't be read, will be summarily dismissed as John Solomon product regardless of the what's in it. Just a guess based on past observations.

Looks pretty legit to me, i.e. it isn't an opinion piece. Maybe it's just a pack of lies, but I highly doubt it. And I assume the prosecutor general looking into the non-profit that apparently wasn't a very popular investigation with our govt was.....Victor Shokin, the guy who supposedly wasn't doing any meaningful work on corruption.

Another interesting question I've been pondering...why did Biden declare his candidacy 4 days after his pocket president in Ukraine was ousted?

See, because the key to the impeachment sham is that they say Trump was using Ukraine to investigate a "political opponent". Biden wouldn't have any cover if he wasn't running.

Anyone look into what she did in Somalia when she was there? PDJT said she messed up there.

I can't help but think that she may have been caught facilitating arms or some such underhanded things.
