Turns out Donald Trump really did fire the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine for not being corrupt enough in the fake Biden scandal
Yesterday the State Department Inspector General briefed Congress about a packet of obviously illegitimate “evidence” that someone had planted at the State Department in the hope of furthering pro-Trump conspiracy theories. Rudy Giuliani then went on TV and confessed that he was the one who planted at least part of that evidence.
There was scattered reporting last night that Donald Trump may have fired the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine based on the phony “evidence” that Rudy Giuliani planted at the State Department. Now it turns out things really did play out along those lines. The WSJ is reporting that Trump fired U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch because she was getting in the way of Rudy’s efforts to criminally conspire with the government of Ukraine in the name of promoting the fake Joe Biden scandal.
This means Trump took his deranged scheme so far, he actually fired someone for not being corrupt enough. Notably, Yovanovitch is set to testify about all of this for the House impeachment inquiry next week. Now that we know she really was fired because she was trying to stand up to Trump’s criminal scheming in Ukraine, we’re pretty sure her testimony against Trump and Rudy is going to be brutal.
This comes after Kurt Volker, the recently departed U.S. Envoy to Ukraine, testified to the House today that at least one key State Department official was aware of – and disgusted by – Donald Trump’s schemings to extort Ukraine into helping him smear Biden. This just keeps getting uglier for Trump by the minute.
