What Went Down During Marie Yovanovitch’s Testimony

Sondland was an odd person to be involved in Ukraine policy, since he was the EU ambassador. But the weirdest person in this group is Rick Perry. Whatever technical explanation has been given for Rick Perry being involved, I have talked to Rick Perry. He does not strike me as the kind of person you would interject into a complicated foreign policy situation with a fairly-small country. I’m not saying Rick Perry is dumb, but the idea the U.S. would be sidelining Ukraine experts for him is very odd.

Schiff is making the case that Giuliani was no anti-corruption warrior. Schiff mentioned the example of Giuliani’s pushing to overturn a decision to deny a visa to a former Ukrainian prosecutor that was made based on his record of corruption.

Schiff is definitely trying to get her to be more effusive in her rancor against Trump and … “the three amigos.” I think you can see she’s a little uncomfortable with that. But she does speak to weakened morale as a result of her firing.
