Yovanovitch calls for investigation following evidence released by lawmakers


Yovanovitch calls for investigation following evidence released by lawmakers
By Justine Coleman - 01/14/20 09:24 PM EST


Former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch called for an investigation Tuesday into “what happened” after newly released evidence suggested that her movements were being monitored.

Yovanovitch requested the investigation through her lawyer Lawrence Robbins, who issued a statement on her behalf.

“Needless to say, the notion that American citizens and others were monitoring Ambassador Yovanovitch’s movements for unknown purposes is disturbing,” he said in the statement obtained by The Hill. “We trust that the appropriate authorities will conduct an investigation to determine what happened."


The former ambassador’s calls come after the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight and Reform committees released additional evidence to be submitted to the Senate for the impeachment trial.

We'll obviously have to look elsewhere for law enforcement until we get rid of Turd and his thugs.

*justice* for the perpetrators of this hideous, disgusting plot to MESS YOU UP, literally or figuratively - this will not stand.

They’re going down. We’re coming for them.

We can never repay the debt of gratitude we owe you, Madame

THANK YOU



RESPECT

This was a known threat on the safety and life of a US diplomat, and Barr did nothing. He doesn't care about enforcing the law.

I read those messages that were released.
'Somebody' (cough-cough) wanted her out of the way.

And we all know who ordered the hit.
I hope he chokes to death on a chicken bone...
Agonizingly slow, with no one there to help him.

All part of getting rid of the “Deep State.” Trump’s will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

At the same time, my heart goes out to her. So dedicated, and so on the right side of history.

Would love an investigation which reveals the slime, and it is all aired in open court.

What was done to her after her patriotic service to this country is beyond the pale. I hope her lawyer is top notch.

Fight in the streets, or accept totalitarianism.

We are not quite there yet. It will come quickly when it does.
