Opening Statement of Marie L. Yovanovitch

Thank You Marie L. Yovanovitch. Thanks Steve.

You're welcome Ron. What do you make of this statement that Yovanovich makes on page 8?

"I have proudly promoted and served American interests as the representative of the American people and six different presidents over the last three decades."

Sounds like a serious dedicated civil servant.

She sounds to me like just what Trump said she is, a bad woman. She seems to think she's greater than the sum of 6 Presidents.

Ron, why did Obama nominate Yovanovitch ambassador to Ukraine in May of 2016?

YOUR WORDS: She sounds to me like just what Trump said she is, a bad woman. She seems to think she's greater than the sum of 6 Presidents.

MY REPLY: What makes you think that Steve?

Here's why I think Marie Yovanovitch was a bad woman Ron. Because she forgot who was boss.

Obama put Yovanovitch in Ukraine at the critical time, at the start of the 2016 Ukraine election collusion.

No Marie did not forget The Constitution of the United States of America, the Law of The Land.

The Constitution gives us a President Ron. It does not give us a 33 year career foreign service weanie.

In order for the country to continue to be The World leader, this country depends on dedicated Civil Servants like Marie, who serves this country for 20, 25 and 30 years and not some four year term, like some of our presidents.
