Yovanovitch: 'I Don't Understand Giuliani's Motives For Attacking Me' | MTP Daily | MSNBC

  1. Manafort, Cohen, Papadopoulos, Gates, Flynn, and now Stone. They all played the stupid game of “Who Wants To Go To Prison For Donald Trump” and they all won stupid prizes.😄
    We can only wait and see who the next game contestant will be. Will it be Rudy, Barr, Pompeo, Sondland, or Mulvaney?  Hmmmm😞

    1. David J Manafort, Cohen, Papadopoulos, Gates, Flynn, guilty and Giuliani’s and his two Russian mobsters are indicted‼️

  2. because they couldn’t just remove you for no reason that would even be more obvious than already and please talk about Paul Manifort there is billions being stolen in there they need to find out about

    1. let’s not trivialize it as being about personality. There was a reason to smear Yavanovitch and it had some purpose. Presumably they thought she was in the way of whatever drug deal Guiliani was cooking up

    2. Marc in NA I agree but I do not believe a drug deal was involved at all (in this instance) but a corrupt deal on gas and oil.
      In addition, Putin wanted to implicate Ukraine in Election Interference and take the focus off of Russia.

      I also believe Trump cooked up this scheme with Russia (he is too stupid to choreograph something like this by himself) and I feel there is much more to this corruption than any of us know right now. Guiliani will likely be the next to be charged and will hopefully flip on Trump and the Gang!

    3. @J MacDonald ‘drug deal” in this case is being used as an euphemism
      no actual drugs but skullduggery none the less
      the rest of your post?…bang on

    4. @J MacDonald Putin needs Trump to remove the sanctions against them so that he can access the wealth they stole from the Russian people, so he needs to pin the election interference on Ukraine. Putin didn’t become a billionaire on his KGB salary.

    1. its kind of sad where he has ended up i think its not if he’s going to be to be arrested and charged with some very serious crimes to when

    1. Kathryn Foster-martin

      Most likely. Not directly though, it won’t be Putin’s signature it will be some proxy.

    2. check out the great book “House of Trump, House of Putin” at your local library. Great research. Tells the real reason — Russian Mafia deals going back to the 1980s.

    1. @Say What
      Then Barr would be called to testify too.
      If this is allowed to continue, we’re going to see a whole lot of people ignoring the law and citing, “The Government doesn’t follow it, why should I”?

    2. @Therese Martin
      “Perry’s resignation didn’t come as a surprise and that he has considered leaving for six months because “he’s got some very big plans”
      Perry says he wanted Trump and Zelenskiy to talk strengthening energy business ties between the two countries.
      Democrats issued Perry a subpoena on Oct. 10
      Perry twice ran for president and on the campaign trail vowed to eliminate the agency he would come to lead — although, he famously forgot the name of the Department of Energy during a 2011 debate.

      Perry changed his mind about that right around the time Trump nominated him to be secretary of energy. At his confirmation hearing, Perry said he regretted ever suggesting that idea.

      Trump tapped him for the job despite wilting criticism Perry delivered as an opponent during the 2016 primary campaign. At a 2015 event, Perry said Trump “offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued.”

  3. Why is Trump pushing Russian policy? I’m sick of journalists and others pondering this issue! Trump works for Putin. Period. If all the evidence indicates that he’s a Russian asset, and there is no other explanation for his behavior, he’s a Russian asset. This would be treasonous if, in fact, we were at war with Russia. Trump is a traitor! Can you imagine what Reagan would think of Trump and the Republican party that protects him?

    1. I believe the FBI characterized the ongoing Russian assault on US electoral process as cyber warfare. So yes, the US is at war with Russia.

    1. James Lade I once watched my uncle argue with his mother about how the Russian president,blah blah then they argued about who the president of Russia was. I see dead people. No one knows who built the billiard table.

    1. Rezene Woldegebrel No he’s not…he said Trump will support him because he was “insurance” if he doesn’t

  4. People are forgetting traitor-trump’s TWO meetings with Petro Poroshenko (totally corrupt former Ukrainian president who was just tossed out of office)/// they met just before the Ukrainian Presidential election, and again afterward. They clearly had schemed together, to include pushing out Yovanovitch…, but Poroshenko lost the election…. but, that first trump-Poroshenko meeting is the true beginning of this traitor-trump inspired crime, and at their second meeting is likely when Giuliani began his efforts to spread his lies about Yonanovitch to push her out. The July 25th trump-Valinski phone call is NOT where the scheme began… Petro Poroshenko remains in the background as we speak — a true billionaire oligarch snake who needs to be watched very carefully by the authorities both here in the US and in Ukraine. HE also has a major part of his “candy” business in Russia…., think about it.

  5. oh well Giuliani is in some serious trouble the SDNY are after him maybe they should look into Hannity’s roll in this

    1. He is Trump’s PRIVATE lawyer and not a lawyer working for the US government. Trump has no business sending his PRIVATE lawyer to conduct business on behalf of the president and the country. Are you kidding me ?
