What Went Down During Marie Yovanovitch’s Testimony

Yovanovitch invokes the American diplomats killed in Benghazi — which, of course, Republicans focused on a lot during the Obama administration.

And she dropped an interesting allusion to Benghazi, which was once the GOP’s cause celebre when it came to protecting U.S. foreign service officials.

This has been a courageous performance, basically a career state employee defending a vision of U.S. policy not necessarily shared by the president. She is I’m sure aware that these kinds of pointed criticisms of Trump and Pompeo are going to draw sharp attacks from the GOP members and on Fox News.
