What Went Down During Marie Yovanovitch’s Testimony

And here we have Goldman, the Democratic counsel, addressing the idea of serving at the pleasure of the president. Asking if she’d ever heard of an ambassador being removed for stories that the State Department itself knew was false.

Here’s a question that has to do with this hearing, how it will be digested by the public and what the electoral effects going forward might be: If white women are the new big segment of swing voters, does this play pretty well with them? A woman unfairly fired from her job? Just spit balling, but it seems like Yovanovich is pretty sympathetic as a narrator. Of course, the GOP line will be, you serve at the president’s pleasure.

For what it’s worth, so far this testimony has had very little to do with Trump pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
