1. Yovanovitch 这话讲得,无视了 2014 年是谁在策动基辅 “广场革命” 推翻想平衡对欧和对俄政策的民选总统、引起俄罗斯大动干戈。虽然她上任驻乌克兰大使是 2016 年 8 月,但 2014 年那一轮乌克兰危机是在民主党执政期间。
2. 一码事归一码,Yovanovitch 和 串普政府 的恩怨的 Wikipedia 段落
On November 15, 2019, Yovanovitch testified during the
public impeachment hearings.
[69] In her testimony, Yovanovitch detailed how Giuliani and his associates
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman worked with a corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor to orchestrate a smear campaign against her, oust her from her post as ambassador, and "circumvent official channels" of Ukraine policy.
[54] Yovanovitch also testified, "Perhaps it was not surprising that when our anti-corruption efforts got in the way of the desire for profit or power, Ukrainians who preferred to play by the old, corrupt rules sought to remove me. What continues to amaze me is that they found Americans willing to partner with them and, working together, they apparently succeeded in orchestrating the removal of a U.S. ambassador. How could our system fail like this? How is it that foreign corrupt interests could manipulate our government?"
[54] While Yovanovitch was testifying, Trump denigrated her
on Twitter.
[70] When read what the president had written about her, Yovanovitch testified: "It's very intimidating. I can't speak to what the president is trying to do, but the effect is to be intimidating."
[70] House Intelligence Committee Chairman
Adam B. Schiff and other Democrats called Trump's conduct
witness intimidation; Democratic Representative
Jim Himes, a member of the Intelligence Committee, stated: "The president chose to respond to a patriotic and superb public servant with lies and intimidation. ...Her boss disparaged and intimidated her not after, but during her testimony."
[70] During questioning, the committee's Republicans avoided making personal attacks against Yovanovitch or seeking to undermine her credibility, but argued that Yovanovitch's removal and the events leading to it were not relevant to whether Trump had committed impeachable offenses and emphasized that Yovanovitch's removal occurred "before the main events under scrutiny took place."
