What Went Down During Marie Yovanovitch’s Testimony

This closing section is particularly powerful from Yovanovitch. An explanation and defense of the foreign service.

Those statements jumped out at me, too, Clare. Those concerns reflect a particular brand of anti-Trump Republican and former Republican who have expressed serious objections to the administration’s conduct of foreign policy — not just the substantive decisions but the approach to the State Dept. and non-partisan diplomacy.

Yovanovich is explaining for the American public why the foreign service exists. It’s a little insane to think that this could be viewed as overly partisan, but it might be portrayed that way in Trump-aligned media.
