Many corruption issues in the trump circus

[Pompeii]

If Mr. Trump wanted an ambassador to be removed, all he would have to do was say the word. This is because he has the power to do that. There is not need for a smear campaign in order for an ambassador to be removed from their post. So, why was there one? Why was there a smear campaign against an ambassador if all that needed to be done was for Mr. Trump to give the order?

For those wondering why Schif denied reprisals this is why. The two lead party reps are allowed to speak followed by the opening statement of the witness. The committee's leader are then allowed to question; followed by the committee's counsel. Then the committee's members are allowed 5 minutes of questioning before moving to the other party. These minutes can be passed to the according party. These are dumbed rudimentary policies set forth by Republicans in 2015.

The comments lead down 2 paths here...1. Thank you for your service, dignified carriage and willingness to stand and bear witness 2. Hateful mean spirited rhetoric regurgitating conspiracy theories and attacking with sexist or childish name calling. I for one, thank Ms Yovanovitch for her lifetime of service.

They lay it all out. This woman was fired because she was in Trump's/Gulianni's way.

Ok Nunez you have 45mins to ask questions. Nunez: idk why you're here today hurr durr.

Republicans are pathetic! They know God damn good and well she was fired unjustly.

[annamarie]

Could you please let the Gracious Lady, I thank you for your service and thank you for fighting corruption. It is not easy facing this I am sorry for that I your life. Keep true to yourself because you are doing great. Truth comes out you are a wonderful person standing up. Prayers with you.

Everything that happens with our government is Partisan. Even all the questions and answers today. That’s why nothing ever gets done in our government. Can you imagine a government that would work altogether for the good of the people not for the good of the party.

Is the call perfect according to what you wanted to accomplish or is it perfect according to the law and the constitution of the United States?

[Virtuoso_T.E.C]

If this was a real court system with a real judge all this here say would be thrown out the window

[marniekilbourne]

Our ever professional "President" tweeting about the former Ambassador as she is testifying! Classy and appropriate as ever Trump.

[taras]

Okay, I know Republicans and Democrats hate each other right now. But she gave 33 years of her life to our country. She deserves better than us being disrespectful.

I yell "give it to em schiff!"

[suxtaposition]

Since when is it a crime to ask for an investigation of a crime that also has a video confession?

[nicolehjelte]

Wise words spoken to deaf fools. She was a good witness though. An impressive woman indeed.

[PriceDylan]

It's amazing how they complain about being smeared but constantly do it to Trump...

[MrWiffit]

Are they impeaching Trump for getting rid of an ambassador or for the phone call. Nothing in this has anything to do with the original topic of the impeachment.

[betzy]

Do the GOP actually think they are still going to be in office after this? They’re ridiculous

[kevintmckay]

Glad we have republicans on record so they can be held accountable when rule of law and sanity returns to america.

[shakethese]

Does it bother you that you are going to still be doing this in 2024?
