be. what was clear in this hearing was how profoundly disturbing this was for yovanovitch. a these-year career coming to a crashing halt after she had been asked to extend her tenure in kiev. to be yanked out of her post by a 1:00 a.m. phone call and told to get on the next plane home shelf used those words, shocked, appalled, devastated. then when she read the transcript of the call when the president said she would go through some things. she said the color the drained from her face and she had a physical reaction. so no doubt she thinks there is a chilling effect of the. thank you very, very much for that. as the ousted ambassador detailed that campaign waged against her, she endured another attack in real-time. this one from the president s twitter feed today. he wrote, quote, everywhere marie yovanovitch turned bad.
this complex operation in a range of national security priorities get made, developed, considered and ultimately get sent to the president at times for decision or consideration. so ambassador bolton would have had deep insights into the ukraine policy, the russia policy, but if the house intelligence investigators believe or the committee believes that they don t need his testimony, then perhaps they have already they have enough from the other people who have already spoken like fiona hill, vindman and others. and kupperman s objection is based on the white house telling him not to participate. are you getting any sense that the white house is emboldened by the idea that they have been able to prevent at least some of this testimony, certainly watching the president s twitter feed today he has been very
change the speaking points for republicans. they didn t claim that this proceeding was un-constitutional. they just don t believe it s been run fairly. do you think this knocks the wind out of a lot of the arguments that republicans have been making that this is not a legitimate inquiry? martin, i don t think so. look, this was to be expected to be honest. this was an obama appointed judge that made a ruling many people anticipated this was how it was going to come out. it is not going to change the dynamics we re currently facing. democrats will continue to move full speed ahead with their impeachment inquiry and their process and republicans will continue their efforts full speed ahead with trying to slow things back, roll it back. the president as we ve seen through his twitter feed today and the past several weeks will continue to try and delegitimize the process but i think moving forward the republicans would be best to sit back, engage in full transparency, put the information
well you new york city he s on to the attack stage. a quick glance at his crazy twitter feed today, retweeting a pinocchio clip keiing adam shift lying shifty schiff, impeachment romney. the media is fixed and corrupt. that s just a sampling, folks. here s the deal. he does this d.n.a. distance, because it obvious has a desired effect, wearing us down with deflections and distractions, gaslighting the american media and the public, telling you to your face the sky is green. this one is really, really simple. he told at least one foreign government to investigate his political rival. he made a meeting contingent on that investigation, and then held aid, and then his administration tried to cover it up. that s what happened. it s in black and white. it s out of the president s own mouth.
they had the most access to the most and penetrating information that you could find about fellow american citizens. these people were in charge and i think there s no doubt in my mind that jim comey was weaponizingin the department too after a duly elected president to try to get him removed and the most interesting the most kind of shocking part of all of this to me is to look through his twitter feed today and he s spiking the ball today because he s not going to jail. that s really strange and i think that the sort of tell their is revealed by that is the fact that he did lie about the purposes of his meeting at the oval office and he said that he was just there to inform the president of what was out there, whatever that means. i had never heard of an fbi director needing to do that. but that s his claim. but the point is this is part of the investigation into the
