"If you want her out, they need to make contact with security forces"
"Guess you can do anything in the Ukraine with money"

Someday, they may make a movie about all of this that could be terrifyingly close to The Godfather subject-wise. I think the insinuations here are pretty clear.

Trump ordered her killed! This is what happened. My god.

holy fucking hell on earth

HATS OFF TO THE WHISTLEBLOWER

A US President hiring goons to take out an ambassador.

What else would “she’s going to be going through some things” mean???

Sounds like they were plotting to have Yovanovitch killed.

Trump needs to be removed from office immediately. As in, dragged out by Secret Service and locked in handcuffs. This crap cannot continue to be overlooked. Impeachment is not sufficient.

trump knows he's untouchable.

he is not the boss, he is just a puppet who has also been threatened by Putin, he will slip and fall.

You are right. The corruption is deep and wide.

even if it means President Pence for a while

Not quite sure yet.

(bloody EU privacy laws means many US news sites now refuse to show articles to the EU ...)

WHAT. THE. FUCK???

Jezus.

They are ruthless when they want someone out of the way.

This is what is being described here. A pure mafia hit. We are dealing with a murderous monster.

But..could see why he'd kill off Epstein. But why didn't he just fire her earlier?

Once I re-read them to her, even my mother came to that conclusion.

exchange?

"At one point in April, Yovanovitch said she received a call from Carol Perez, a top foreign service official, at around 1 a.m. Ukraine time, abruptly telling her she needed to immediately fly back to Washington. Yovanovitch said when she asked why, Perez told her, "I don't know, but this is about your security. You need to come home immediately. You need to come home on the next plane."

And she was speaking at an event for a young lady killed by an acid attack when she got the urgent message to leave.

Just, holy crap. Absolutely terrifying and I hope she was given advanced notice before this went public.

All I can see is from the memeorandum link to it:

"Intelligence Committee documents? — Robert Hyde, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Connecticut, surfaced in House Intelligence Committee documents released Tuesday. — The documents, released on the eve of the House vote …"

I can find a Republican called that, running for congress, who owes child support: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elections-2020/conn-candidate-who-deleted-sexist-tweet-about-kamala-harris-owes-child-support-but-gives-big-to-trump-and-gop/ar-BBYaX6L

but he runs a construction firm in Connecticut.

(though he did his best to smear Adam Schiff: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/coordinated-pro-trump-facebook-pages , and tried to name the whistleblower)

(his bio says that he was in the armed forces before, and ran a security detail ...)

HOW CRAZY IS IT THAT THIS QUESTION CAN EVEN ARISE IN RELATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

I'm sorry for yelling, but this is SO UNREAL.

This goes deeper than any of us can even imagine..

I guess we should believe IMPotus Trump when he says he knew about planned attacks on US Embassies....because he was planning them....

The way I read it, Ms. Yovanovitch was told to get out on the next plane because there were others who got wind of this and feared for her life.

must have slipped by me.

...except it was 12 billion that went missing in Iraq back in 2004.

wasn't that when what's his name was in charge. The pallets of cash? I cannot keep up with all this shit...

He had both reporters on too (Bertrand and Woodruff) who have posted text exchanges today amd are in this thread. Woodruff said Hyde texted her tonight and didn't deny what he wrote or regret what he did.

close to this ? Eeegads. Republican heads would have exploded.

earlier in their offices that Rachel read it in solitude while Chris started to run from his office, down the hall to Rachel's staff and was yelling, "Can you believe this? Is this for real?". I can picture what the various Dems and GOP were doing when they heard this news.

Thank goodness for YouTube and WaPo and others.

I read DU when I get up in the AM to read the latest news since I know it will be here and won't have BS lies and alternative facts.

I was picturing Chris Hayes actually running down the hall to Rachel's office . . . OMG is this for real ?!?!?!

And now, I'm wondering -- how is that fucking moron in the WH going to try to spin this one ???

Wouldn't you just love to be a fly on the wall of the offices of Pelosi/Schumer/Biden/etc right now ?

Discussing her whereabouts and security detail. There’s so much in the documents released tonight.

We the people need answers.

Hopefully not anywhere Barr can touch him.

I'm not sure I understand everything, but let's get this going.

Now, sounds more like--she's going to go IN some things. Like concrete.

Okay. What will it take to get these documents introduced in the impeachment trial?

THAT's exactly what needs to happen.

Bet all our Democratic lawmakers know about this by now - D.C. must've been buzzing this evening.

They MUST find a way because we know the DOJ will not be investigating.

📣🚨House revealed it has slate of new evidence collected since the impeachment vote-will use in Senate.

That's made up, but it might as well not be. :p

Everyone needs to see this.

is the shock before outrage hits. There are people in DC who have known about this for months on end and said nothing, if not rallied to push against any clue that the rot runs this deep.

I am just so grateful Marie Yovanovitch made it home in one piece.

No wonder trump is keeping people from testifying. Folks, we have a lying sack of shi*t---DIRTBAG in the whitehouse.

HOLY SHIT.

... the cashier will arrange for the ambassador to be bumped off and that will make those problems go away.

Come hell or high water,... trDump will get his second term.
