Read The Stunning Deposition Statement From Marie Yovanovitch
Opening Statement of Marie L. Yovanovitch to the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Committee on Oversight and Reform
October 11, 2019
Thank you for the opportunity to start with this statement today.
For the last 33 years, it has been my great honor to serve the American people as a Foreign Service Officer, over six Administrationsfour Republican, and two Democratic. I have served in seven different countries, five of them hardship posts, and was appointed to serve as an ambassador three timestwice by a Republican President, and once by a Democrat. Throughout my career, I have stayed true to the oath that Foreign Service Officers take and observe every day: that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. Like all foreign service officers with whom I have been privileged to serve, I have understood that oath as a commitment to serve on a strictly nonpartisan basis, to advance the foreign policy determined by the incumbent President, and to work at all times to strengthen our national security and promote our national interests.>>>

(5,092 posts)How did we get here? Public servants like her, willing to sacrifice for country and people are maligned while Donald Trump who has ZERO history of public service is cheered. When he was called on to serve his country, he came up with fake injuries to avoid serving. His charity was a fraud. At no time in his life was he in service of anyone but himself. The world is upside down.

(93 posts)A few years back I found myself laughing my ass off at a particularly dark humor video on The Onion; it was about how women against domestic violence would suddenly recant (bruises visible on their faces), and say "women are just clumsy". Everyone except Fox Spews knows Trumps contempt for woman, and I ask the open question--is this where his loyal followers are? Has anyone done a study on the social values of them? For them, does "Wining" mean, "Get me that beer NOW, bitch!"
